About this experience
The Maldives is at its best in the last hours of daylight, and this trip is built around them. You leave Malé at 3:00 PM by dhoni or launch ferry and head out to a sandbank — a strip of white sand with nothing but turquoise water around it.
There is time to swim and snorkel in clear water before the boat moves on to look for wild dolphins. Pods are often seen in these waters in the late afternoon, though they are wild animals and nothing can be promised.
The trip ends with sunset from the water on the way back to Malé, at around 6:00 PM.
Highlights
- Tropical sandbank surrounded by clear turquoise water
- Snorkelling in crystal-clear Maldivian water
- Opportunity to see colourful marine life
- Dolphin-search cruise
- Maldivian sunset from the water
- Dhoni or launch-ferry journey
- Three experiences combined in one late-afternoon trip
