Maldives Day Snorkel Cruise

Overview

The Maldives Day Snorkel Cruise is the ideal trip for Indian travellers with limited time, or anyone who wants the Maldives' famous underwater life without committing to a week-long liveaboard. In a single relaxed day you visit three of the best snorkel sites in the North and South Malé Atolls — typically a coral garden teeming with reef fish, a turtle reef, and a manta or reef-shark cleaning station in season — with a friendly guide in the water to point everything out. The boat is a comfortable shared snorkel vessel or traditional dhoni with a sun shade, freshwater rinse and a small deck for relaxing between swims. A set Maldivian lunch and water are served on board, and most trips include a stop at a pristine sandbank for swimming and photos. This is not a dive trip — no certification or experience is needed, masks, fins and snorkels are provided, and the guides happily help first-timers and children. It departs Malé/Hulhumalé in the morning and returns by mid-afternoon. For travellers who want a deeper underwater experience, we recommend one of our liveaboard safaris — but for a single brilliant day in the water, this is the right choice.
