Maldives Small Group Tours

Though small in size, Malé is the beating heart of the Maldives, filled with history, culture, and local life. Start your exploration at the Maldives Islamic Centre, home to the magnificent Grand Friday Mosque, which features an iconic golden dome and intricate wood carvings. The National Museum, located in Sultan Park, showcases royal artifacts, ancient scripts, and pre-Islamic Buddhist relics.

For a true taste of local life, visit Malé’s bustling markets. The Malé Fish Market is always lively, with fishermen unloading their daily catch, while the Local Market offers exotic fruits, dried fish, and handmade Maldivian souvenirs. Don’t forget to take a sunset stroll along the Malé Artificial Beach, a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.

Vaadhoo Island in Raa Atoll is famous for its bioluminescent beach, where the ocean glows in shimmering blue waves at night. This natural wonder is caused by phytoplankton, tiny marine organisms that emit light when disturbed by movement. Walking along the shore under a star-filled sky while the waves sparkle beneath your feet is an unforgettable experience. The glowing waters can sometimes be seen on other Maldivian beaches, but Vaadhoo is one of the most consistent and famous locations to witness this surreal phenomenon.

Located at the southernmost tip of the Maldives, Addu Atoll offers a unique experience far from the usual tourist crowds. Unlike the northern atolls, Addu has a distinct local culture and geography, with lush vegetation and wide roads perfect for cycling—a rare sight in the Maldives. The atoll’s largest island, Gan Island, was once a British Royal Air Force base, and remnants of its colonial past, such as old bunkers and an airstrip, can still be found.

For divers, Addu Atoll is home to the "British Loyalty" shipwreck, a WWII-era oil tanker now covered in coral and marine life. The calm, deep waters around Addu make it an excellent spot for both wreck and reef diving. Those looking for a more relaxed experience can enjoy secluded beaches, mangrove forests, and birdwatching—Addu is home to several bird species not found elsewhere in the Maldives.

Sun Island, officially called Nalaguraidhoo Island, is one of the most luxurious and picturesque locations in the Maldives. Located in South Ari Atoll, this island is known for its pristine white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and lush tropical gardens.

Luxury resorts on Sun Island offer overwater villas, spa treatments, and fine dining experiences with breathtaking ocean views. For adventure seekers, the island provides a range of water sports, including jet skiing, parasailing, and windsurfing. The surrounding coral reefs make it an excellent location for snorkeling and diving, where you can encounter reef sharks, sea turtles, and vibrant tropical fish.
