Maldives Sunset Cruise

Experience an exciting one-hour boat ride aboard a native dhoni, a boat that is traditionally crafted by skilled woodworkers. You will be able to see the Maldivian sunset from a somewhat closer vantage point than from the island on this cruise! Watching the hues of colours sweep over the sky and reflect off of everything in sight is truly an amazing experience.

House Reef Snorkeling

House reefs typically provide great snorkelling without the hassle of boarding a boat. You are free to come and leave as you like, and you may take your time on some topics. As you spend more time on the home reef, you'll get to know some fish and start to see their distinct habits. Being able to return certain subjects, like anemones, to truly capture the image you were going for, and wait for the ideal light is a huge advantage if you're a photographer.

​

Island Hopping

Island hopping can help you better understand the unique geographic features of these remarkable atolls, but it might be challenging because there isn't a public transport system connecting the islands.
