Chole Bay is the heart of the Mafia Island Marine Park. This vast protected bay is home to preserved coral reefs, hard and soft coral gardens, as well as exceptional biodiversity. Divers regularly encounter turtles, napoleons, rays, schools of fusiliers, and snappers. Between October and February, the region is world-renowned for its whale shark sightings, making Chole Bay one of the flagship destinations in the Indian Ocean for lovers of large marine animals.
