The Eydhigali Kilhi and Koattey protected area in the Maldives offer fantastic opportunities to observe nature up close. Eydhigali Kilhi is one of the largest wetlands in the Maldives, renowned for hosting a multitude of water birds, including herons, egrets, and the unique Maldivian pond herons, which can be observed throughout the year. In contrast, Koattey presents an excellent location for snorkeling, providing the chance to witness vibrant, healthy coral reefs and swim alongside turtles, sharks, and numerous colorful fish. These areas are a prime destination for nature enthusiasts and those who enjoy exploring underwater environments.
