•   OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT KANI 

Animals: There are no wild animals beside geckos and birds. You might surprise a sunbathing lizard, but it will raise its tail and run away as you approach. 
Coral:  Coral reefs take a long time to grow and are one of the priceless riches of the Maldives.  Guests are asked to avoid touching or breaking corals. By law it is prohibited to collect living or dead corals and shells. The sale of products made with turtle shell is also banned. 
Dress:  Wear what you like at Kani as long as it is comfortable and not likely to cause offence. On visits to village islands or Male’, make sure the shoulders are covered and do not wear brief shorts. The sun is so powerful, it is better to cover up if staying out for a long time. Nudism and topless sunbathing is prohibited in Maldives. 
Sun:  The sun’s rays are very strong in the Maldives, even when you don’t see or feel them. Be especially careful when working on that tan and use sun lotions of a high factor. 
Time:  We keep to our own time in Kani, to give you more daylight. Kani time is one hour ahead of that of Male’.
