Excursions

UNDERWATER QUEST

Set sail on a local ÔdhoniÕ to discover the secrets of the MaldivesÕ underwater world. Snorkel alongside reef sharks, turtles, parrotfish and lionfish. See if you can ÔfindÕ Nemo, the orange and white Maldives Anemone fish.

MANTA MADNESS (SEASONAL)

During manta ray season, be wowed by the alien-like yet gentle mantas as they glide through the water feeding on plankton. Manta rays can grow up to several metres in length and a manta encounter is something to remember for a lifetime.

CRUSOE LUNCH

Be cast away on a private sandbank (an isolated strip of sand surrounded by nothing but the wide ocean) and marvel at the turquoise panorama as you tuck in to a delicious freshly-prepared picnic basket. Then work on your sun-tan and splash around in the sea to cool off.

DOLPHIN DETECTIVES

Set out on a cruise to try to spot ever-popular dolphins. Help the crew scour the waves for signs of the beautiful, friendly creatures. Dolphins are attracted to sound and to the wakes created by boats, so if youÕre in with a good chance of finding some!

SUN CHASERS

Just before sun set, a boat heads out to sea for a peaceful cruise in order to find the best spot to watch the spectacular natural display. As you watch the sky turn red, gold, pink and purple, sip on chilled drinks and listen to the soft sound of the waves.
