FIND YOUR BASE
A guesthouse on Maafushi suits a trip combining local island life and excursions. Compare room types, meals and transport to the island, even when choosing a more comfortable stay. Consider local rules and tour departure points separately from what you would expect on a private resort island.
Join an approximately six-hour boat and snorkelling trip, meeting at Jammin Water Sports on Maafushi. Snorkelling equipment, lunch, water and underwater photos and video are included. The trip focuses on nurse sharks; wildlife sightings and visibility cannot be guaranteed. Check departure details, requirements and current terms with the provider.
