Dive Into the Unknown: Discover the Hidden Underwater Paradises That Will Revolutionize Your Next Adventure
It’s a major migratory route for whales, including blue, beaked, humpback, sperm, killer, melonhead, plus super pods of dolphins. October-December is the best time to whale watch and, better yet, swim with the blue whales–one of the few places on Earth where this is even possible! Then there is Ataúro Island, where Conservation International found the highest average reef fish diversity in the world (a whopping 642 species), and according to us, the prettiest coral gardens we’ve ever seen!
Ataúro Island & Two-Mile Reef
We set out for Ataúro with the seasoned Aquatica Dive Resort, one of the island’s longest-running operators, and were quickly surrounded by a dozen pilot whales and over 100 dolphins. As Ataúro’s sheer cliffs drew closer, we hugged the west side of their stunning shoreline and dropped in at Iliana. The Two-Mile Reef combines the villages of Iliana and Arlo, with incredible walls of soft coral colonies and huge sponges.
