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. Tanks, weights and a dive guide are included, and a certification is required for the dives. 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
