Sail Maldives

Take a trip to paradise and climb aboard a traditional dhoni boat for an eight-day sailing trip through the Maldives. Spend your days sailing, swimming and snorkelling among colourful corals, white-sand beaches, mangroves and tropical fish. End each day watching the sunset and keep your eye out for possible sightings of dolphins, turtles, manta rays and nurse sharks. Have tea and locally made sweets with the locals on tiny islands, be treated to a traditional music and dance performance after dinner on the beach and learn how to make Maldivian cuisine with a cooking demonstration and breakfast. With a local crew and leader by your side, you’ll experience all the best bits of island living!
