  • MALDIVIAN MANTA CONSERVATION PROGRAM (MMCP)

  • Yellow tropical fish over eggs in tank in lab
    Fish Lab

    We breed ornamental fish with the aim – in time – of developing an alternative source of income for local communities. Visit our marine biologists at the Fish Lab and help to feed the fish and see them spawn.

Aquatic Adventures

  • Manta rays swimming underwater
    Manta on Call

    When you sign up for the Manta On Call service, you’ll be contacted immediately when manta rays are sighted near our Resort. Once you get the call, you can hop on a speedboat to embark on an unforgettable experience.

  • Scuba diver with underwater camera takes photo of large turtle
    Turtle Talk and Safari

    Learn about and observe sea turtles in their natural habitat, starting with an educational briefing led by our marine biologists before travelling to a nearby snorkelling site to see the turtles up-close.

    Dolphin Cruise

    Set out with a marine biologist to see the clever and acrobatic spinner dolphins that live in the waters around Landaa Giraavaru.

Marine-Life Presentation
The reef of the Maldivian archipelago represents one of the richest marine ecosystems on earth. Guests who are interested in learning more about the area’s underwater life are invited to attend a marine-life presentation by our resident marine biologist, offered five evenings a week in the Marine Discovery Centre. The following afternoon, you can enjoy a snorkelling excursion with our marine biologist, a unique way to discover the underwater world of the Maldives. Talks also take place prior to some activities, such as the turtle safari.
Reefscapers
Join a Build-a-reef session in the Marine Discovery Centre at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru, where you can sponsor your very own coral frame and watch it grow on the Marine Savers website.
