The elusive ocean sunfish, also known as mola mola, are the heaviest known bony fish in the world. These gentle giants can be found in temperate and tropical waters like those off the coast of Bali. Oddly enough, these fish named for the sun prefer colder depths and can be tricky to spot out of season. Although ocean sunfish inhabit these waters year-round, your best chance to see them in Bali is anytime between June and November, when upwellings bring colder water to the surface.

When To Go : Your best bet to spot mola mola is between June and November.
