About Lankanfinolhu

Lankanfinolhu is one of the largest islands in Kaafu Atoll, known for seasonal manta ray gatherings at nearby “Manta Point.” Its wide beaches and shifting sandbars create ever-changing landscapes. Coral reefs host reef fish, rays, and reef sharks, while the inner lagoon offers calm snorkeling waters. Historically, it supported coconut plantations before tourism. Divers can enjoy drift dives along the outer reef’s abundant coral slopes. Conservation programs focus on protecting the manta cleaning stations and surrounding coral habitats, ensuring this biodiverse marine hotspot remains healthy for future generations.
