Gulhi Outside
★★★★☆
(150)
In the local language (Dhivehi), Miyaru means “shark“ and Faru means “reef“. Shark’s reef it is then, so it’s not too hard to guess what you can expect here!! White tip sharks galore, grey reef sharks aplenty, a few nurse sharks, less common leopard sharks too and even rare tiger sharks & whale sharks sightings!
Turtles (both green & hawksbill) can be seen, along with schools or solitary eagle rays, rare bump head parrotfish, stingrays, huge napoleon wrasse and even pods of dolphins!
