Best months to charter Ari Atoll
Ari Atoll is one of the few atolls in the Maldives where whale sharks are encountered year-round. The northern portion of the atoll is most productive from December to May, and the southern portion from May to November. This makes Ari a strong choice regardless of travel dates.
- December to April: calm water, excellent visibility, northern whale shark zone active.
- June to October: south and west rim most active for whale sharks and hammerheads.
- October to November: transitional period with both populations overlapping.
