Dhaalu-Thaa-Meemu – 7 Night Charter

Tour Description:

Guests board the yacht upon a domestic flight from Malè to Kudahuvadhoo airport in Dhaalu Atoll. During this cruise, the yacht reaches the large Thaa Atoll and Meemu Atoll, which are both well known for their great snorkeling, diving, and fishing. There is no end to the uncontaminated deserted islands and all you have to do is put your head under water anywhere to admire intact coral reefs, teeming with fish and full of coral. The charter ends to Kudahuvadhoo airport where guests will get a domestic flight to Malè. On request the charter could also end to Nyama resort in Dhaalu Atoll.

Fishing in Dhaalu and Thaa atolls is simply amazing. The atolls also offer a few great spots for diving with incoming currents and great pelagics, and a famous location for whale shark watching. The narrow passes and the long, uninterrupted coral reefs of Meemu Atoll provide an ideal habitat for large pelagic fishes. Diving and fishing thus provide plenty of satisfaction, above all during the dry monsoon. Mulak Kandu and Gaahuraa Kandu certainly feature among the most spectacular current dives in the Maldives. The first offers an extraordinary variety of pelagic fishes around its entrance, with a series of caves and blocks of coral covered with soft corals and sea fans to colour its western corner. The pass’s sandy seabed provides a kind of light which is particularly appreciated by underwater photographers. The step of the Gaahuraa Kandu is crossed from side to side by a series of caves covered with marvellous, saffron-coloured soft corals and sea fans. This is one of the passes with the highest concentration of grey sharks in the archipelago when the current flows inside the channel.
