Itinerary - Maldives Beach Life: five paradise islands among sharks, rays and dolphins
Welcome to Maldives
Check in: our adventure begins in Maafushi
Flights are not included in the package, so you can decide which airport to leave from, at what time and with the airline you prefer... This is to give you maximum freedom of choice. Here's how the meeting works !
Arrival at Malé Airport and transfer to our island: the journey truly begins. After checking into our guesthouse, we’ll have time to get to know each other, explore the island, and start discovering the local culture that will welcome us for the week.
We’ll ease into the tropical rhythm and let the island vibes take over.
In the evening, dinner on the beach under the stars, toes in the sand — the perfect way to start our Maldivian adventure.
Not included : transfer from Male to Maafushi, meals and drinks at the expense of individual participants.
Turtles and watersports
Turtles, coral garden and dolphins
The day begins with snorkeling in the coral garden, where we swim among colorful schools of fish and stunning coral formations. We then move on to a second reef, home to sea turtles, which we often spot grazing on seagrass.
While sailing, we keep an eye out for dolphins — and with a bit of luck, we’ll see them playing in the waves. The morning ends with a moment of pure relaxation on a sandbank or at a picnic island, depending on the tide.
Watersports
In the early afternoon, we return to Maafushi, where water sports await us: parasailing to admire the atoll from above, jet skiing for thrill-seekers, and SUP or kayaking for those who prefer to enjoy the ocean at a slower pace. There’s also time to relax and get ready for the evening.
Included : Speedboat transfers, mask, snorkel, fins, life jacket, beach towel, underwater videos taken by the guides, packed lunch, and water.
Not included : other meals and drinks
Nurse sharks, rays and Fulidhoo
Nurse sharks and rays
We set off on one of the most thrilling excursions: swimming with the incredibly curious nurse sharks and the magical encounter with stingrays, which often come right up to the shore. We meet them in shallow, crystal-clear waters, where it feels like we’re part of a nature documentary.
After the adrenaline rush, we take a break on a pristine sandbank, white, remote, and perfect for dreamlike photos.
Dolphins and Fulidhoo
Next, we visit Fulidhoo Island, an authentic place where we can experience the everyday life of the Maldivians. On the way back, we enter the dolphin lagoon: if we’re lucky, we might even get to swim with them! A day that blends pure excitement with the discovery of a world far removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Included : Speedboat transfers, mask, snorkel, fins, life jacket, beach towel, underwater videos taken by the guides, packed lunch, and water.
Not included : other meals and drinks
Relaxing day at the resort with open bar
Hammocks, cocktails, and coral reef!
Today we completely unplug: we spend the day at a resort, surrounded by palm trees, white sand, and tropical comforts. We can relax in an ocean-view hammock, sip cocktails at the open bar, and go snorkeling along the island’s coral reef. Lunch is served as a rich international buffet, and two sweet and savory snacks are offered throughout the day.
One more toast to our journey!
The afternoon is all about relaxation: those who wish can enjoy a rejuvenating massage, while others soak up the sun, read a book, or simply let themselves be lulled by the sound of the waves. It’s the perfect moment to slow down, recharge after the first few intense days, and embrace the more luxurious side of the Maldives. No rush, just the sound of the sea, your feet in the sand, and the sky slowly changing colors as the sun sets on the horizon.
Money pot: Speedboat transfers, buffet lunch, open bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, sweet and savory snacks, beach towel.

Discover scuba diving session (first-time dive) or fun dive (for certified divers)
After lunch, those who wish can take part in a special experience: a Discover Scuba Diving session: the first dive with a tank, guided by local instructors, or a fun dive for certified divers. For those staying on the surface, there’s the option of visiting a nearby island or simply relaxing on the beach.

Whale sharks and Manta rays
It's time for the gentle giant and the manta rays!
This day will give us some of the most intense emotions of the journey. At dawn, we set sail for a two-part sea adventure: the first part will be dedicated to searching for the whale shark, the gentle giant of the oceans.
Once we reach the Ari Atoll, we’ll dive into the crystal-clear waters and attempt to swim alongside this majestic creature, all while respecting its space.
With adrenaline still pumping, we’ll move to a lagoon where manta rays are often seen, graceful and majestic. We’ll watch them glide through the water, either in formation or solo, dancing in the current like kites in the sky. Two encounters that will be etched in our memory forever.
Relaxation before returning
In the afternoon, depending on the timings and locations of the morning sightings, we’ll decide whether to stop at a nearby island for some relaxation and a few photos. In the late afternoon, we’ll return to Maafushi, bringing with us the unforgettable images of the most thrilling encounters of the trip.

Relax on the beach or at another resort?
Water sports and farewell bonfire
or our final day in the Maldives, we’ll have one last group experience: depending on the weather and logistics, we’ll decide whether to visit a nearby island, where we can stroll among the palm trees and relax on the beach, or return to a resort for a few more hours of luxury to toast to an unforgettable journey. Alternatively, we could explore a new coral reef for one last dive together amidst the ocean's vibrant colors.
Whatever the destination, we’ll share this final adventure as a group, closing the trip just as we began it: together, with smiles and the spirit of discovery.
