Dolphin Safari: When the sea is calm the dolphins are cruising through the Atoll and can be spotted around Ihavandhoo, Muladhoo and the channels around Gallandhoo. With the speedboat we can approach the large groups of dolphins closeby and often they come surfing in front of the boat, playing with the waves and leaping out of the water.
