About this experience
This is the half-day that covers the most ground. You leave Malé by speedboat at 9:00 AM and snorkel a living coral reef, where reef sharks, turtles and tropical fish are all possible.
Next is the nurse-shark point that everyone calls the Shark Tank — nurse sharks circling in clear water, with stingrays often around the same area. Then a sandbank, a strip of white sand in open turquoise water, before Maafushi and its Bikini Beach.
Lunch is traditional Maldivian food at around 12:00 PM, with free time afterwards to swim or walk the island. Back in Malé around 2:00 PM.
