Maldives Beach Life: Snorkelling and Relaxing in Vaavu Atoll
The trip in a nutshell
Experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the Maldives, where each island is a unique world. Despite their small size, the inhabitants thrive under the law of the sea, surrounded by stunning landscapes that seem straight out of a dream. From sunrise to sunset, you'll feel like you're living in a postcard—but it's all real. Join us on a 7-day journey to explore Fulidhoo Island and the Vaavu Atoll.
On this exclusive group trip, we'll uncover uninhabited islands and hidden underwater treasures. Our home base will be the enchanting Vaavu Atoll, centered around the idyllic Fulidhoo. Here, you'll relax on powdery white sand beaches under the shade of swaying palms, but that's just the beginning. Dive into crystal-clear waters to swim with nurse sharks, stroll along shores alongside majestic giant stingrays, and discover vibrant marine life through diving and snorkeling. Unwind on remote sandbanks that feel like your private paradise and revel in the underwater wonders of the coral reef.
This isn't just a vacation—it's a bucket list adventure everyone dreams of. Prepare for days filled with nothing but swimsuits, flip-flops, and the gentle reminder to reapply sunscreen. With endless opportunities for exploration and relaxation, your only worry will be soaking in every incredible moment of this Maldivian paradise.

Itinerary
Welcome to the Maldives!
Check in: our adventure starts from Fulidhoo
Round trip flights are not included in the package, so you can choose from where and when you want to fly. This is to give you maximum freedom of choice!
Upon arrival in Fulidhoo, we'll check into our hotel and have a welcome meeting. Fulidhoo, nestled in the Vaavu Atoll of the Maldives, is a small paradise renowned for its natural beauty, authentic culture, and the warm hospitality of its residents. This island offers a peaceful and genuine experience, far from the hustle and bustle of major tourist spots. The beaches here are serene and picturesque, perfect for relaxing, sunbathing, and swimming in the clear turquoise waters. You can enjoy long walks on the main beach or simply unwind with a book. Just a short five-minute stroll across the island, you'll find stingrays gliding gracefully along the shore!
Included: overnight stay with breakfast
Let's go snorkelling
In the sea of the Maldives
Ready to explore the incredible waters of the Maldives? Today our adventure begins: it's time to get to know each other better and spend some quality time together, swimming and relaxing. We’ll briefly say goodbye to Fulidhoo and venture to the remains of an abandoned wreck, where we'll have the chance to spot corals, colourful fish, turtles, and more!
After our snorkelling adventure, we’ll head to a sandbank where the only sound you'll hear is the gentle crash of the waves. Here, we’ll spend a few hours together, getting to know each other and starting to plan the optional activities for the coming days. Will you join the adventure team or the beach team? Following a light, packed lunch, we’ll return to Fulidhoo. Don’t forget the sunscreen—the sun here can be intense!
Include : overnight stay with breakfast, snorkelling, packed lunch, equipment and sea transport
Money pot: any extra activities
Not included: meals and drinks
Fulidhoo: diving or beach?!
The difficult choice...
This morning, we'll enjoy breakfast at the hotel with a view of the intense blue sea surrounding us. Today is entirely at your disposal, allowing you to choose your perfect adventure! One of the top and unmissable experiences is an underwater adventure. Whether you're a certified diver or new to diving, there’s always time for a baptism in the sea—and there's no better place in the world than the Maldives! For those who prefer not to dive, you can stay in Fulidhoo and relish the beach—which is quite spectacular in itself, we promise!
Included: overnight stay with breakfast
Money pot: any extra activities
Not included: diving, meals and drinks
Swimming with sharks
Face to face with nurse sharks
Today promises to be unforgettable: have you ever swum with a shark? Swimming with nurse sharks is an exhilarating and unique activity that will create lasting memories—especially since drone photos are included in the package! Nurse sharks are generally docile and harmless to humans; before diving, we'll receive detailed instructions to ensure we do this safely. For many of us, this will be the highlight of the trip and our most treasured memory!
In the evening, we hope to be invited by the locals to experience a Bodu Beru performance, a traditional Maldivian dance accompanied by drums. For dinner, we expect the island's chefs to treat us to another local delicacy—perhaps boshi mashuni (a banana-flavoured salad) or fish curry (a flavourful fish soup with curry).
Included: overnight stay with breakfast, excursion with nurse sharks and photos with the drone
Not included: meals and drinks
Sun, sand and sea!
Two days of relaxation (or not!)
All good things must come to an end, but there’s no need to worry: we still have two days to enjoy as we please! We can choose to spend our time in complete relaxation on the beach or add some optional adventures to our Maldivian experience. Options include visiting an uninhabited atoll for a full group experience, going on a second dive if you’re feeling adventurous, indulging in a day at an extra luxury resort for some pampering, searching for whale sharks to tick off a bucket list item, or simply enjoying snorkelling, snorkelling, and more snorkelling!
We’re in the Maldives, a place not often visited. So let’s savour every moment of sun, sand, and sea!
