Hanifaru Thila
★★★★☆
(166)
Hanifaru Thila is a long reef formation starting at 10 meters and descending to 30 meters. Stretching around 180 meters, it features two distinct pinnacles on the west and east sides, with overhangs and varied contours shaped by ocean currents.
Manta ray cleaning stations attract regular visits, joined by eagle rays, stingrays, and passing tuna. Schools of reef fish and varied macro life thrive along the coral-covered reef.
