Hanifary Bay to Dharavandhoo. Discover a paradise of powder-like sand, whispering palms, and shallow lagoons.
2 days
Hanifaru Bay
The adventure starts in Hanifaru Bay, a 30 minute sea plane or a half day cruise from Malé.
This enclosed underwater bay, known locally as ‘Vandhumaafaru Adi’ is popular with snorkelers, divers, and underwater photographers alike, thanks to its impressive concentration of graceful and gentle reef manta rays.
After lunch on board, you will have the chance to witness the mantas as they roll and whirl around the hull in a feeding frenzy.
1 day
Goidhoo
Today the crew will lift anchor early and take the cruise to Goidhoo, a fairytale-like island with pearl-white sand.
On arrival, venture inland to explore the island’s unusual freshwater lakes and tropical forests of palms and rubber plants, and you may even encounter one of the huge crabs that reside here – many of them are larger than a foot.
For those that enjoy snorkeling, the local reefs are home to an abundance of different fish, and you will be able to spot rays, dolphins, whale sharks and sea turtles.
The area offers an abundance of other activities: kayak to an uninhabited island, which features a beautiful sandbank, or enjoy kitesurfing on the Goidhoo reef.

Innafushi

Today we cruise to Four Seasons at Landaagoraavaru, home not only to an abundance of tropical species such as geckos, frigate birds, dragon lizards and dragonflies, but also to a luxury Four Seasons resort.
