Marine Conservation Activities:
The waters around Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru are home to a breathtakingly beautiful and rich ecosystem. Below the ocean's surface, precious coral reefs ring the islands, where fish painted in psychedelic colours swim, sea turtles coast and dolphins play. Whale sharks and manta rays also venture here to feed on tiny plankton.

Snorkellers, divers and other adventurers hoping to catch a glimpse of these creatures will enjoy more than just a sighting with the Resort's interactive marine programme, part of the most active centre for marine research and education in the Maldives. Led by Senior Marine Biologist Guy Stevens and the marine biology team, activities in the conservation programme guide guests through the alluring underwater world around the islands. Guests will experience once-in-a-lifetime encounters with a variety of marine creatures while learning about their life and habitat, and will even be able to participate in some of the Resort's conservation projects.

Activities For Children:
The Marine Discovery Centre's dedicated children’s section allows kids to immerse themselves in fun displays and a range of activities, including helping the marine biologists transplant coral frames, visiting the Fish Lab, and learning to snorkel in the Coral Garden amongst the work of the Reefscapers. A large touch tank offers opportunities to interact with sea cucumbers, starfish and crustaceans.

The area also introduces Kaku, Landaa’s resident journalist: a hermit crab that lives in the third hole on Landaa’s Palm Tree Road. As well as guiding film and language selections throughout the MDC, Kaku pens a nightly "Reef News" article about his adventures with his many reef and island friends.
