Set off on an adventure on board the traditional Maldivian dhoni or a private yacht and explore the vibrant coral reefs, see some more colourful reef fish, turtles, stingrays and sometimes a baby shark. There is plenty to discover underwater, be sure not to miss out on this exciting adventure!
Manta Snorkelling
Let us take you to an exciting snorkelling trip in search of manta rays. Manta rays are found both on coral reefs and in the open ocean. Our crew will bring you to the manta cleaning station and feeding area where, if you’re lucky, you might be able to spot some of these incredible looking creatures. Manta movements vary according to the season, tides and other factors but there is the best chance of spotting them during southwest monsoon between May and November.
Turtle Quest
The friendly and curious sea turtles are always a delight to see underwater. Let our staff take you to a spot where there is a huge chance to see turtles passing by. Join the scheduled trip or do your own private quest in a luxury yacht, whichever way you want it, we will make this a truly enjoyable trip for you and your family and friends.
Local Island Visit
Experience the ‘real’ Maldives by visiting one of the local neighbouring islands. On this trip you will see Maldivian local houses, local shops and a village mosque. Stroll down the sandy streets and take a peek of what island life is all about. See the women lounging in an undhoali, children going to school or, if you’re in time, see the fisherman bringing back their catch of the day. If you are interested in marine life conservation, visit the turtle rehabilitation centre on one of the local islands and learn how the local volunteers rescue, rehabilitate and reintroduce the turtles back in the wild. On a local island excursion you will discover the laid-back pace of an island life, where Maldivians live a simple and often traditional life, a world away from resort life.
Dolphin Quest
Before the sun sets, we set out on an adventure cruise to look for dolphins. Since they are wild marine creatures out in the vast ocean, we cannot guarantee their sightings, however, once you find them you will be captivated by their playful manner. Watch them swim side by side and sometimes jumping and spinning out of the water. If you’re feeling lucky join the quest now!
Sunset Cruise
Cap off your day with the relaxing and romantic sunset cruise on board a traditional dhoni or luxury yacht. Feel the sea breeze on your skin as you slowly cruise the calm sea. Watch the sun goes down as it leaves streaks of golden light across the horizon setting the mood for a romantic evening. Enjoy the sparkling wine and canapes that will be served as you admire the scenery. If you’re lucky you may be rewarded with a dolphin sighting during the cruise as sunset tends to be a good time for dolphin-spotting.
Sunset Fishing
Try and learn to catch a fish using the traditional way of fishing in the Maldives. The art of line fishing has been passed down from generation to generation by local fishermen. Let our experienced staff share with you their own knowledge and techniques on how to catch a fish. If you want to enjoy the fruits of your labour, you can ask the chef in the restaurant to prepare your catch anyway you want it once you’re back on the island for a supplement.
Big Game Fishing
Rise and shine in search of big game like wahoo, marlin and tuna on board our big game fishing boat. The powerful vessel is designed and equipped to accommodate big game fishing enthusiasts. Our experienced staff and captain will bring you to spots where huge tunas and marlins abound. So bring in your A game and feel the thrill of reeling in your big catch of the day and celebrate with a beach barbeque dinner with your fresh catch!
Night Snorkelling
One of the most exciting snorkelling trips we offer is the night snorkelling. Discover the underwater night life as soon as the sun goes down. Illuminate the dark surroundings with a torch and see nocturnal creatures come to find food. It is also a perfect opportunity to search for biolumiscent creatures. With the perfect water temperature even at night time this thrilling adventure is not to be missed, so join the scheduled trip or go for private excursion. However you prefer it this excursion will surely bring you so much fun!
