Day 1:
JOIN THE CRUISE AND VISIT RIHIVELI BODUVELI AND BBQ
Welcome onboard the dhoni at the Airport. After settling into your cabins, the captain or one of our crew members will go through all the safety aspects of the tour. On the first day, we will depart to South Male Rihiveli Boduveli, this will take 3 & half hours or a maximum of 4 hours. Boduveli is a beautiful sandbank, perfect for your first lesson in snorkeling the beautiful coral reefs of the Maldives. Bodu means big and Veli means sand, so this island is the island of big-sand, making it the ideal place for some sunbathing and just relaxing. Night at the anchorage on Rihiveli Boduveli lagoon.
Overnight Accommodation on Safari Boat Including meals: Lunch, Dinner
Day 2:
CRUISE TO VAAVU AMBARAA
After a relaxed start this morning, we continue to the southernmost point of South Male Atoll before crossing the channel to Felidhe Atoll. Whilst South Male Atoll is within the ‘tourist zone’, Felidhe Atoll and the other southern atolls are not. And whereas there are about 20 resorts on the islands of South Male Atoll, there are only two in Felidhe Atoll. The main industry is fishing and there is a chance that we will see traditional boat-building on at least one of the islands. Our total traveling time will be about 2 to 3 hours, depending on how many times we stop off en route. We should reach the idyllic uninhabited island of Ambaraa by early afternoon, with the remainder of the day free to enjoy the beach and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters around the island.

Day 3:
CRUISE TO FENBOA FINOLHU, MEEMU ATOLL
Today we sail south for a further 2-3 hours, crossing to Meemu Atoll. As with the rest of the journey, we are hardly ever out of sight of land (weather permitting) and we cruise closer to many of the islands. Meemu Atoll has 34 islands of which 25 are uninhabited. Some of the inhabited ones grow yams, and all of them are almost totally dependent on fishing. Here more than anywhere, we are likely to experience the true Maldivian way of life. Shortly after entering the atoll, we arrive at Fenboa Finolhu, another beautiful uninhabited island where we aim to base ourselves for the night – again with plenty of time to enjoy the beach and to snorkel amongst the reefs.

Day 4:
CRUISE TO DHIGGARU
After a relaxed start we head east to the inhabited island of Dhiggaru. Here we drop anchor outside the reef, a great area for snorkeling. Late afternoon is a good time to visit this lively village, which often has large dhonis under construction and very few tourist groups visiting it. We enjoy the laid-back pace and traditional way of life of its people; as with all the villages that we visit it is important to remember to dress respectfully and behave responsibly. When visiting a house or mosque, shoes must be removed. We hope to be invited in the evening to a performance of Bodu Beru (Big Drum), the traditional folk music of the country.

Day 5:
CRUISE BACK TO FELIDHE ATOLL
Today we head back to Felidhe Atoll and its administrative center Felidhoo. This is the least populated of the administrative centers with a population of about 400 people. Again, we take time to wander through the village; every visit ashore shows us something new and different about the lives of the islanders. Again, this is a great place to enjoy a Bodu Beru performance.
