List of Resorts that DO and DON'T Feed Sharks in the Maldives
List of Resorts that DO and DON'T Feed Sharks in the Maldives
Updated: Nov 16, 2024
Shark feeding, stingray feeding, or simply "fish feeding" is a controversial (and now illegal) practice that used to be wide-spread in the Maldives.
Fortunately, a growing number of resorts have abandoned the practice.
To help you find resorts that have banned fish-feeding, and avoid resorts still doing it, we maintain a list of all resorts across the Maldives.
We use a combination of statements from resorts themselves and user feedback to determine which resorts are involved in fish feeding and which aren't.
Have you visited the Maldives recently?
