SHARK ISLAND

Fuvahmulah, Maldives

Fuvahmulah is a unique island gem in the Maldives, famous for its rich marine biodiversity and unparalleled underwater experiences. Unlike any other Maldivian atoll, Fuvahmulah stands alone in the deep blue, creating a diverse ecosystem that attracts a variety of ocean giants, including the elusive tiger sharks, whale sharks and hammerheads. The island's pristine coral reefs, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic drop-offs make it a world-class destination for diving enthusiasts. Above the water, Fuvahmulah offers a glimpse into authentic Maldivian life, with lush tropical landscapes, freshwater lakes, and a vibrant local culture. A visit to Fuvahmulah is more than just a dive trip; it’s a journey into the heart of the Maldives’ natural beauty and heritage.

Day 1

Arrival in Fuvahmulah

Welcome to Fuvahmulah - your tropical sanctuary for an unforgettable seven-day journey. After touching down on a domestic flight from Malé, the capital of the Maldives, you'll experience a heartwarming Maldivian welcome that instantly immerses you in the island's warm hospitality.

After formalities, it's time to meet your fellow explorers and the dream team taking care of you for the week. We'll kick off with a fun dinner meet-up.

Settle into your island sanctuary, where the rhythmic ebb and flow of the ocean waves serve as nature's lullaby, setting the stage for the adventures that await you.

Use the rest of the day to explore the island by scooter, socialise with your new travel mates, but rest up—you've got a a series of thrilling days full of sharks coming up.

Day 2-7

Shark Diving

Each morning you’ll be greeted by the ocean's melody and the anticipation of the unforgettable adventures that await.

Enjoy breakfast with a view, and then head out for your first tiger shark dive in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives. With a whopping five full days of exclusive dhoni boat adventures and the chance for up to three dives daily, you'll be having meaningful moments with these ocean predators, gaining new perspectives on why their survival is so critical. Your expert in-water guides will accompany you every step of the way, guiding you to vibrant coral gardens and a kaleidoscope of marine life that will leave you breathless.

Join an exclusive Shark Science and Shark Behaviour presentation. These presentations are designed to gain a better understanding of sharks and broaden your awareness of the challenges they face. All set up so you become a shark advocate in no time. You will also have the opportunity to give back to the community by participating with our beach clean up.

Round off the day with a group dinner under the stars, sharing stories and discoveries with your fellow adventurers.

Day 8

Farewell

Catch one last glorious Fuvahmulah sunrise; the sky's early-morning show is your final island salute.

After savouring a last breakfast at your island retreat, it's time to prepare for your flight back to Malé. We've got your transfer to the harbour all organised.

Board your domestic flight back to Malé. It's a quick flight but a great chance to ponder the incredible week you've just had.

As you head home, those close encounters with tiger sharks, rainbow-hued coral landscapes and swirling schools of tropical fish won't be just memories; they're a part of your traveller's DNA now.
