Boat Hire with Skipper in Maafushi

Description

When making your booking, you'll choose between two options, both covering beautiful atolls in the Maldives. Each includes hotel pickup and drop-off, private boat hire with a skipper, snorkelling equipment, and lunch.

Vaavu Atoll boat trip

Your pickup from your hotel in Maafushi occurs at 9 am, followed by departure to the harbour. You'll enjoy a boat trip through the clear waters, reaching Vaavu Atoll where snorkelling equipment will be provided. You'll swim with nurse sharks, jacks, and dolphins and see corals at the longest uninterrupted reef in the Maldives, measuring 34 miles (55 kilometres). Refreshments and a barbecue lunch will be served during this 6 hours 30 minutes excursion.

South Ari boat trip

After your hotel pickup, you'll be transported to the harbour to start this journey through the Indian Ocean towards South Ari Atoll. This atoll features 105 islands. Once in a quiet area, you'll receive a snorkelling mask to explore the warm waters for giant whale sharks, which can grow up to 46 feet (14 meters). Manta rays and dolphins may also be spotted. A barbecue lunch will be provided during the activity.

Vaavu Atoll + Shipwreck boat trip

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in Maafushi and a trip to the port. The first stop is the Shipwreck, where you can snorkel around the sunken ship Victory, resting in the Malé Atoll since 1981. The tour continues at Vaavu Atoll for more snorkelling opportunities with nurse sharks and a visit to a sandbank. After lunch, you'll return, marking the end of the 6.5-hour excursion.
