Snorkeling Safaris: Maafushi is a gateway to world-class snorkeling. Popular tours often combine multiple stops, such as the Coral Garden, Maavelaathu, and Banana Reef. Many excursions specifically target sightings of nurse sharks, stingrays, and sea turtles.
Dolphin Watching: Take a speedboat trip to nearby channels where pods of spinner dolphins are frequently spotted leaping and playing in the wake of the boats.
Scuba Diving: For those wanting to go deeper, several PADI-certified dive centers offer "Discover Scuba" sessions for beginners and guided reef or wall dives for certified divers
Manta Ray Snorkeling: Seasonal tours take you to the South Malé Atoll, where you can swim alongside these gentle giants as they glide through the water.
Floating Bar & Safari: Since alcohol is not permitted on the local island itself, a popular alternative is visiting the floating bar docked just offshore. Free shuttle boats take guests to the vessel where they can enjoy drinks and dinner with a sunset view.
