Maldives Marine Life Break - 4 Days

Arrive at Velana International Airport where you will be greeted by your guide. They will accompany you on short journey to Male where they will guide you through a tour of the capital city, providing opportunity to visit places of interest including The Friday Mosque, local markets and Sultan Park. Wandering through the narrow roads of Male provides a wealth of opportunities to gain a deeper understanding about the culture, history and daily life of this unique capital city and its people. Afterwards, your guide will assist you with your speedboat transfer to Dhigurah in South Male Atoll. The speedboat departs every day approx 16:00 and takes 120 minutes to journey across the Indian Ocean (subject to ocean conditions). Watch the beauty of the many Maldives islands pass you by, keeping your eyes open for dolphins.

Upon arrival at your guesthouse, you will have time to settle in before dinner which will be served at your guesthouse.

South Ari Atoll is well known for the possibility of encountering whale sharks particularly on the reefs behind Dhigurah. There is only one way we can spot them and that’s the old-fashioned way of being out on the boat and looking! So, this morning head out in search of the ocean’s largest fish. We may see 2 or 3 sharks in half an hour or maybe only one for the whole time we are searching, but the unpredictability all adds to the excitement! When we do spot them, we will have the opportunity to snorkel alongside them, a truly magical experience.

Today is a free day with plenty of options. Spend the day just relaxing on the beach or snorkeling the lagoon. If you were unfortunate to not encounter a whale shark yesterday there is a discounted rate offer if you choose to try again today. Ask the team at the guesthouse for details.

Following an early breakfast, you will transfer by early morning transfer to Male and on to Male International Airport or your onward destination.

All the suggested experiences are not included, and are to be paid locally. Included activities can be found in What's Included.

Ramadan will take place during the period of 07 February - 08 March 2027, and might affect services within this package.

Local islands are very different from the picture-perfect resort images you may have seen. These are living and working island communities, where daily life is shaped by Islam, family, and in today’s world, tourism. You’ll hear the call to prayer five times a day. On islands closer to Male, you will notice ongoing construction and development for both island infrastructure and new guesthouses or hotels. Every island has its own unique character and charm, offering something different in terms of culture, community, and natural environment.
