The experience

Shaab Samadai - the Dolphin House - is a horseshoe reef off this coast whose inner lagoon is a daytime resting place for spinner dolphins. Access is managed: the lagoon core is closed and visitors stay on the outer reef, which is exactly why the pods keep using it.

The outer reef is the trip. Snorkelling is guided, with mask, fins and a life jacket provided. Dolphins are wild and sightings are never guaranteed; the crew keep their distance and follow the site rules rather than chasing an encounter.

Highlights

  • The Shaab Samadai horseshoe reef
  • Daytime resting ground for wild spinner dolphins
  • Managed access - the lagoon core stays closed
  • Wild dolphins possible, never guaranteed
