Overview

About this package

Five days staying in a comfortable guesthouse on Maafushi, a local island where the same lagoon you'd pay ten times more for on a resort island laps at a public beach. Days fill with snorkeling trips, a sandbank excursion by traditional dhoni, and evening walks through a fishing village that still runs on its own unhurried clock.
