Tour Description: 

This particular tour option is great for Snorkelers, divers, resort hoppers, families and couples.

This cruise explores one of the most famous atolls of the Maldives, Ari or Alifu atoll, with its several places of interest. Many desert islands are suitable for a good swim and some excellent snorkeling. These include: Innafushi, Bulhaalhohi and Hurasdhoo. For the last 3 nights we have selected Velassaru Maldives. Offering the best in contemporary living, surrounded by tropical greenery and just steps from the beach, your Deluxe Bungalow provides 70 sqm of spacious accommodation with minimalist interiors and colorful accents. Room and meal plan upgrading is available on request. Once arrived at Hard Rock Hotel, the yacht will be relocated to Male. The transfer to the airport on departure will be provided by speedboat. This resort’s stay can be alternatively done before the cruise.

Ari Atoll is also a diver’s paradise. The best diving sites include: the Panettone, with its underwater rocks completely covered by yellow and orange soft corals and sea fans; the marine reserves of Kudarah Thila and the manta point of Madivaru; or the fascinating and suggestive Broken Rock. The reef outside the island of Maamigili is plied in both directions by several local cruising boats in search of the giant of the seas, the whale shark, whose formidable shape is clearly visible even with just goggles and flippers.
