The island country of Maldives is highly popular for its day trips. These mainly include varied boat trips to various far flung and uninhabited islands of the country.
Other popular day trips are inclusive of island-hopping trips, dolphin-spotting tours, sunset cruises, yacht trips, glass-bottomed boat trips and snorkelling safaris. Perennial tours like night and big game fishing are also popular.
The island hopping tours can extend anywhere from a half day to a full day. The trip includes a trip to any of the fishing villages and an uninhabited island. At the island, beach barbecue is served. The tour is conducted through traditional boats, dhoni, or speedboats. Arrangements can also be made for spending a day and night alone on an uninhabited island.
A trip to the Fisherman's Island as a part of this trip can provide an insight to the cultural heritage and local handicrafts of the country. Various luxury cruisers also offer cruises to the varied islands to enjoy sunset and dolphin watching.
Families visiting Maldives with children can have a half day picnic on a private island and relax on the beach & enjoy swimming. This can be combined with a stroll along the white beaches or a snorkel on the reef. Snorkelling enthusiasts can also indulge in Sunrise Snorkelling in the open-water reefs.
Whale Submarine is a popular excursion in Maldives. One can get a boat for reaching the submarine from the airport or Jetty No. 1. The departure is scheduled every 30 minutes. On reaching the submarine dock, one can board the submarine for heading to the waters to view the reefs.
