Apart from fishes, mantas, sharks and many other species running around, you can explore caves, soft coral gardens, colourful sponges, invertebrates and gorgonian fans, all profiting from nutrient-rich waters.


Sandbank Tour

Take a tour to sight a scenic natural beauty of unique Maldivian island and you will never have a better chance to lay on the beach and soak up the sun. Sandbanks tours are popular among couples especially honeymooners and the tour will assure the feeling of privacy and exclusivity.


Dolphin Cruise

It is a heart-warming experience as they tail your vessel and leap above waves. You will never have a better chance to sight wild dolphins playing in the natural setting than in Maldives. It is an unforgettable experience for photographers and wild lovers.


Sunset/ Night fishing

Enjoy a traditional Maldivian fishing with hand line and bait at sunset. Going out to the sea in the evening just before sunset, enjoying the spectacular view of the sun go down, and patiently waiting for the next catch is a relaxing and thrilling experience. Experience crew will guide you and explain on the ancient art. If you are lucky enough to have a catch, a meal featuring the fruits of your labor will be prepared at the hotel.


Day Fishing

Fishing is one of the main economic activities in Maldive, and a popular activity among holiday makers. Travel by a ‘Dhoni’ a traditional Maldivian fishing boat out into the sparkling waters of Indian Ocean. Drop your line direct from Dhoni into the ocean, and hope for nibble and prepare to wrestle with whatever you catch at the end of the line.
