Travel Tips

The Maldives is a 100% Muslim populated country, and there are several conservative laws that visitors must follow. When travelling off resort, do not wear your bathing suits or revealing clothing. Homosexuality, alcohol and public displays of affection are all illegal within the country, except on resort islands.
Seaplane flights from the Male airport to your resort island, though short in duration, can be very expensive. Be sure to research ahead and take the cost into consideration when creating your budget.
The drinking water in the Maldives is heavily treated, meaning it is stripped of its natural minerals. To keep your body properly hydrated, buy some rehydration salt packages from the pharmacy at the airport or your resort.
While snorkelling is common in many tropical destinations, the Maldives is one of the best destinations in the world for spotting large marine life. Be on the lookout for whale sharks, dolphins, Hammerhead sharks and sea turtles.
A holiday in the Maldives is perfect if you’re looking to disconnect from the rest of the world. But, if you simply can’t live without your Wi-Fi, be prepared to pay for it. Many resorts charge for internet access, and they can be quite expensive (up to US$150 per week!).

The Maldives has seasonal weather so please do check up on the best time to visit Maldives before planning your tour.

Excellent Trip Reviewed Tour: Marine Wildlife of the Maldives

“The Maldives is known as paradise to some, others probably wouldn't even consider this part of the world. This trip exceeded my expectations in more ways than one and if your looking to do something different, then give this a go.
I have previously done walking/hiking trips or discovery trips and didn't think a boat trip would be exciting enough. I was wrong. I never considered the Maldives previously as a must see destination, and had an image in my head that said "it looks like a boring place to visit with not much to do". I decided to book this trip due to my "give it a go" attitude, and it has been one of my favourite trips I have done that I would go back and do it all again. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone that likes wildlife, great food and good company.
The corals and reefs were so vividly clear to see and colourful. The amount of marine wildlife was staggering.”

“If you like small ships, great food and spending time in and on the water than this is a great trip. Keep in mind that this is a snorkeling trip with a lot of leisure time built in. Be prepared to sit back, read and chat with your fellow travelers.”

“This trip will stay with me for a long time. To snorkel with whale sharks and manta rays was amazing. The reefs were fantastic with a huge variety of fish to watch and wonder.”

Perfect for those who love the sea & all it's creatures! Reviewed Tour: Marine Wildlife of the Maldives

“Its not often that I ever write a review for anything. Felt compelled to do so for this holiday! We were the 1st group to do this trip.....
This holiday was excellent on every level! Perfect combination of the sea, snorkelling 2-3 times every day in the azure sea, truly unbelievable that I managed to snorkel alongside a giant whale shark (about 6 metres long & 15 tons) within touching distance for about 15minutes!”
