Useful Tips

If you have extra time, add a day trip to the scenic Gulhi Island, or go night fishing for an adventurous experience. If you have less time, consider doing only two activities a day and spending one day entirely on a resort island for a more relaxing experience. Avoid visiting the Maldives during the monsoon season between May and October as the country experiences heavy rainfall and rough seas, which can hamper island hopping experiences. Plan your itinerary in advance and check with the tour operators regarding the opening and closing times of attractions.
