Had the most fun!
I have travelled to 28 countries and snorkeled all over the world. This is the best snorkeling experience I have ever done! The rays were so beautiful up close and the so many different fishes. The tour guides were super friendly and made sure we had a go

Fantastic island
A truly beautiful island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The sea is crystal clear and the environment is peaceful. It can be easily reached by boat from the airport. The food is very good.

Happy stopover
We enjoyed a stopover at Male; we had 5 hours of waiting at the airport before catching our boat to our hotel. We took advantage of spending this time on a walking tour. It was a lovely experience. We were accompanied by a guide with knowledge about the h

Perfect escape
Crossroads offers a perfect escape with its pristine beach, and the island is calm and very relaxing. We will definitely be back to enjoy another day of sun and sand.

Centara getaway
The resort is adults-only, and it is nice and quiet. You can totally relax and just listen to the ocean.

Great Adventure Tour!
Second activity with this company after my DST. Loved both adventures!
Our guide and boat captain were friendly. The weather during our tour isn’t great, so the waters were rough. We were still able to snorkel around two spots. The sandbank visit is

Everything you look for typical Maldivian holiday
Having followed numerous European forums for years, I know what most tourists want to find on an island when they book it. Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu fulfils the vast majority of their wishes. The island is not too big, not too many villas on the water, separa

COCO PALM Private Island Escape
1. PROLOGUE
There is something primeval about the desire to be alone on a desert island. Something that almost demands revenge for that Garden of Eden which was taken away from us by Adam and Eve and was supposed to be our home forever! It is like a pers

Be prepared to be ripped off if you want late check out
We are a group of 21 of adults, teens and kids. Our flight landed at 9:30 pm at night. Whilst the hotel is only 20 minutes away by boat from the airport, it was not until 12:30 am that we received our last piece of luggage in our room.

Our first experience in Guest House, the White Maakanaa Lodge
Our arrival at the jetty of Keyodhoo, in the afternoon after an hour and a half by speedboat from Malé, was received with exquisite courtesy by almost all the staff of Maakanaa, who gave us two necklaces of flowers and refreshing towels. Loaded our lugga

When you are preparing to choose on which Maldivian island you want to spend your holiday, usually you express your own priorities in choosing.

Excursion to Madoogali’s reef
This year I choose Gangehi for my Maldivian stay, but initially I was very torn between this resort and Madoogali.
For this reason, when I saw that between snorkeling excursions the biologist Valerie proposed also the reef of Madoogali, even combining it

Gangehi Island Resort (the fourth part)
PLANTS and other
In the island the trees are not dense and, apart from the palms, they do not appear to be very old (they don't have a wide foliage or a huge trunk like the very big banyan tree that I had seen in Biyadhoo, for instance).

GANGEHI :What do I find there? (first part)
Because I have so many things to write, I will divide my review in parts
first part: THE RESORT
The first important thing to know is that in Gangehi there is one hour more than in Malè, very useful to make the best use of the sunny hours of the day

Nobody will resist the temptation of visiting Maldives. Its striking beauty never fails to please the eye, while its entertainment venues are totally breathtaking.

Nice vacation but
Went to Biyadhoo aware of finding a resort but with very basic a still very lush and beautiful coral.
Indeed, considering the quality / price ratio you can not wait that long ...
We stayed two weeks and since we love to spend hours in the water to snork

Eriyadu: Small island, big dreams
My titel is the sentence that adorns, since a while, the cover of Eriyadu's fb page. A kind of state of mind, which is currently and actually on going!

Paradise in the middle of the sea
Bathala is a peculiar island, you either love it or hate it, there are no half measures. I was there in May for the third time and I liked the island even more, maybe because this year I met people that I knew from our previous visit.
