day 1Welcome to the Maldives!

On arrival in the Maldives, we’ll be greeted by our Tour Leader at Male International Airport and transferred by dhoni to board MV Felicity, our floating home for the week. After settling into our cabins, we set sail for Maafushi in the South Male Atoll where we’ll enjoy our first snorkel in the warm Maldivian waters. Our Tour Leader will guide us through a responsible snorkelling briefing, helping us learn how to minimise our impact on these delicate reef systems. As our ‘spotter’, they’ll point out marine life we might otherwise miss - offering a whole new lens through which to experience the reef.
In the evening, we gather for a talk focused on coral reefs - their biodiversity, their role in the marine ecosystem, and the challenges they face from human activity, pollution and climate change. We’ll reflect on the threats marine life encounters and the simple but effective steps we can take to reduce our footprint.
Please note: Latest Arrival by 11 am.
We strongly recommend you bring your own mask and snorkel on this tour, both for hygiene reasons and to ensure a proper fit.
