The world’s first ever tour of the Maldives!

The itinerary takes in the modern town of Malé, a live-aboard sea safari, time to explore an uninhabited desert island and finishes with some time to relax and try some more snorkelling or diving at a luxury 5-star beach and spa resort.

- Day 2 Local Island Stay
- After breakfast, you will leave Male behind and are transferred (by speedboat) to a local island, where you will discover how the true Maldivians live. Our local guide will show you around the island, and give you loads of information about life on a tropical island, in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

- Day 3 Local Island Stay
- Continue your ‘Robinson Crusoe’ experience and spend a full day at leisure either on the local island or take a trip to a nearby uninhabited, picnic island. This makes for a perfect day of snorkeling or just sunbathing with the occasional cool-down-dip. Alternatively you can visit a small island resort to flirt with the luxury the Maldives is renowned for. Later, dinner is an experience in its own right. Held either at the lodge or a BBQ on the beach, you will be treated to authentic Maldivian food and a "bodu beru", a traditional singing, dancing, drumming cultural show.

- Day 4 Start your Sea Safari!
- Today you start what we consider is by far the best way to explore the sights and coral islands of the Maldives! Jump aboard our spacious ‘live-aboard’ yacht, and forget about all your troubles back home. The yacht cruises at a gentle pace so that you can take in all of the breath taking scenery as you visit several uninhabited islands, sand bars and coral reefs. Snorkelling gear is included and you'll be amazed at the variety and quantity of marine life you'll see. The crew are there for your comfort and safety and will make sure this trip is an experience of a lifetime.

- Day 5 Sea Safari continued…
- You've more time today to work on your sun tan or play ‘shipwreck’ on an uninhabited island. The Maldives are famous for large numbers of manta rays, dolphins, and the world’s biggest fish – the Whale Shark! Whether you snorkel or scuba, this is a great opportunity to experience arguably the vastest array of sea life on the planet (diving equipment and escorted dives are available for certified diver - costs paid on board). In the evening, what better a way to end the day of sun, sand and sea, than by joining the crew for a sunset beach barbeque.

The crew will take you to more islands and coral reefs known to attract different species of fish and marine life. Don’t forget to take plenty of pictures!
