We will take you to deserted islands and sandbanks for fly-fishing, and night fishing as well. You’ll have Maldivians- true fisherman at heart to guide you along.
We do however recommend to practice ‘catch and release’ where possible.

Snorkeling lessons will be conducted by your dive instructors, and you’ll get the chance to view some of the most beautiful coral reefs up close and personal in the deserted islands you visit on excursions. All guests are requested to respect and take care to preserve this unspoiled beauty.
