Van’gaaru
This thila / pinnacle is located in the south of Shaviyani atoll and due to the lack of tourism, with very few guesthouses or resorts in this area, this site is best reached by liveaboard.
This site is popular for its amazing fish life; if you ever fancied being submerged into a bowl of living fish soup, this is the place for you!
