FULL DAY ADVENTURE

Your tour starts on a beautiful sandbank set in a blue lagoon approximately 40 minutes from the capital. Relax on the sands under the shade of a sun umbrella, swim in the warm waters or snorkel the house reef. An ideal location to learn to snorkel with your guide or refresh your skills.

Leaving the sandbank visit two of the best snorkeling points close to Male. Sites vary, depending on weather and current conditions, but you can be guaranteed an abundance of colorful tropical fish and coral life.

Following a safety briefing on responsible snorkeling, put on your provided fins, mask, and snorkel and jump into the warm, azure waters of the Indian Ocean. Keep your eyes open for sea turtles, reef sharks, and rays the Maldives are home to; youngsters will want to be on the lookout for Nemo (aka clown fish).

Your snorkel guide will not only act as your ‘spotter’ to point out marine life that may not have caught your eye, but will assist less confident or inexperienced snorkelers, ensuring your equipment is comfortable and you feel safe in the water.

Cruising north we visit the island of Huraa offering firsthand information about local island life. Our experienced guides will accompany you on a tour of the island sharing information on their culture and tradition. Gain insights into the simple life led by the villagers and view the process of making Maldivian dry fish. Discover the mangrove swamps and freshwater lake and learn more about this fragile eco-system. We take lunch at a local restaurant following which you can relax on a traditional jolie seat and watch the world go by or visit souvenir shops where you may purchase local handicrafts and mementos.

In between island visits we offer further snorkeling opportunities to discover the beauty of this underwater paradise.

As the sun begins to set turning the sky to a blaze of colour, your boat captain will head to the east of Hulhumale to a channel where there is a high probability of encountering dolphins. As marine creatures in their natural habitat there is never a guarentee of sightings but when we are lucky watch them jump and perform!
