Excursions

An extensive range of guided excursions for those looking to explore what lies beyond the Resort. Meander through the narrow streets of capital city, Malé, and discover its markets, mosques and minarets. Or, take a trip to Huraa, a tiny local island that lies 20 minutes north of Gili Lankanfushi, to meet with some of its inhabitants and see their exquisite handcrafted products.

You can also try your hand (and luck) at local-style fishing or embark on a more serious deep sea fishing adventure. Island hopping trips include the chance to stop and snorkel as well.


Diving

Experience Diving with the Ocean Paradise Dive Centre's multi-lingual PADI instructors as well as the small dive group sizes ensure that guests of all experience levels get the best service at all times. This PADI dive centre is equipped with the latest equipment, while many renowned dive sites including world famous Manta Point are within a 10-minute boat ride from the resort. As the 9th most environmentally responsible dive centre in Asia, the team takes environmental practices seriously – you can even join a science dive and collect data for the likes of SharkWatch and the Manta Trust.
 
For those who have never dived before, try a Discover Scuba Diving session, which takes just three hours to complete.


Snorkelling

Be amazed by the wealth and diversity in resort's sparkling waters. You can easily spot small sharks and schools of brightly colored fish just standing on the edge of timber boardwalks. Pop on a snorkeling mask and fins and head to the house reef's 15-meter drop-off area. Exploring its beautiful coral walls is like swimming in an aquarium, and you're likely to see tortoises and rays.

Marine biologists at Resort conduct a range of day and night snorkelling trips. In the right season, they can take you up close to see giant manta rays.
