The atoll is a 45- to 1.5-hour seaplane journey away from the Male' International Airport. It is quite a distance away, but definitely worth every mile travelled.
It is home to Fusiliers, Snappers, and a large population of Spinner dolphins. It is a popular location for divers as its waters are full of fish and lively coral. The most famous spots include Orimas Thila and Christmas Tree Rock. Orimas Thila is a shark point where you can spot grey and white tip reef sharks.
