Half-day guided snorkeling to nearby coral gardens; see reef fish and turtles — ideal first-day activity to get wet and relaxed. Most operators run trips 1:30pm–4:00pm.
Depart for a full-day shared boat that visits three spots: a coral reef for snorkeling, a private sandbank for swimming and lunch, and a dolphin-spotting area at sunset. These trips usually run 8:30am–4:30pm and include lunch, snorkeling gear and guide.
Visit the National Museum (typically open ~9:00–16:00; hours may vary or close for holidays) for Dhivehi history, then stroll Sultan Park and Old Friday Mosque (note: mosques close to non-worshippers during Friday midday prayers).
