This tour departs by boat from Maafushi in the Maldives for snorkeling with gentle nurse sharks at Shark Point. You will stop at Fulidhoo, a smaller and quieter island than Maafushi, to stroll its sandy lanes and local shops, then stand knee-deep in shallow water near the jetty as large stingrays glide around your feet. Enjoy a picnic lunch on a sandbank surrounded by turquoise sea, and on the way back look for pods of spinner dolphins in the dolphin lagoon. The tour runs in a small group of up to 15 people with an English-speaking guide.

Meet on Maafushi and travel by boat to Shark Point. Get into the clear water and snorkel among dozens of nurse sharks, known for their gentle nature. Nurse sharks are usually 2-3 m long, but they are generally docile. You can ask your guide to take photos of you swimming with the sharks.

Next, stop at the harbor of Fulidhoo, a smaller and quieter island than Maafushi. At only about 700 m long, it is ideal for a walk along sandy lanes, a visit to local shops, or a rest on the bikini beach. Then head to the jetty to watch large stingrays gathering near the shore, waiting for fishermen's scraps. Stand knee-deep in the water and watch them glide around your feet up close.

Have a picnic lunch overlooking the turquoise sea on an uninhabited sandbank or on Fulidhoo Island. The sandbank visit depends on the sea level. Afterwards, there is another session of snorkeling and photo time.

On the way back to Maafushi, stop at the dolphin lagoon to look for pods of playful spinner dolphins. The tour starts early in the morning and returns to the starting point in the late afternoon.
※ Wild animals live in their natural habitat, so sightings are not guaranteed.
※ The sandbank visit may vary depending on the sea level.
