  1. Day 1: Exploring the Capital of Maldives - Male
    5-minutes (2.4 km) from Velana International Airport.

    Arriving early in the morning, we start our journey by exploring the bustling city of Male. Visit the Hukuru Miskiy Mosque - a 17th-century mosque made of coral stone and admire its intricate decorations. Next stop is Majeedhee Magu - the busiest street of the city known for its traditional Maldivian clothing, jewellery, and handicrafts. Finally, relax in the afternoon by strolling along the artificial beach created in 2015.

  2. Day 2: Snorkelling and Island Hopping
    1-hour 30-minutes boat ride from Male.

    It's time to explore the beautiful Indian Ocean. Witness the mesmerising underwater world by snorkelling in the clear waters. We are going to visit two popular spots - the Manta Point to swim alongside manta rays and the Banana Reef known for its colourful fish species and coral formations.
