SHIPWRECKS, SHARKS & STARS!
Today promises to be another adventure! We’ll journey south to the stunning blue waters surrounding the iconic Vaavu Shipwreck. The wreck is partially submerged, offering you the perfect chance to climb up and leap into the water, capturing some amazing underwater photos. After that, we’ll head to Shark Point for those daring enough to dive in with the friendly nurse sharks that call this area home, before returning to Fulidhoo for a delicious lunch.
In the late afternoon, you have the option to enjoy a cocktail at one of the famous Maldives resorts, or join our optional excursion for an unforgettable overnight campout on a secluded island covered in palm trees in the middle of the ocean.
We’ll take a break to swim with turtles, enjoy a magical sunset swim, and indulge in a beach BBQ. As night falls, get ready for some fun, games, and dancing under the stars before we settle in for a night of sleeping under the stars.

​​
Today we can tick another item off the bucket list...Scuba Diving! The Maldives is one of the best locations in the world for diving not only because of the abundance of marine life and coral, but because the water is extremely clear and calm, which also makes it perfect for the first timer! We offer options for both beginners and certified divers.

If fortune smiles upon us, you might encounter a spectacular array of tropical fish, as well as Green Sea Turtles and the majestic Eagle Rays. All our diving guides are certified and equipped with cameras, so you won’t miss capturing these unforgettable moments.

It’s the perfect way to enjoy a chilled evening together.
