"Mafia Island Marine Park protects one of the Indian Ocean's most pristine ecosystems, including the world's most reliable whale shark aggregation."
From October to March, enormous whale sharks (up to 12m) gather in the bay to feed on plankton, offering snorkellers unparalleled close encounters. The island itself is tiny, unhurried and utterly charming — a true off-the-beaten-path gem.
