Sandbank near Himmafushi Island
Our adventure begins as we head towards the captivating Sandbank near Himmafushi Island. En route, we'll have the chance to cross the dolphin channel, and if luck is on our side, you may witness dolphins gracefully leaping and frolicking near our boat. This is a thrilling spectacle to behold. Upon arriving at the Sandbank, you'll have the opportunity to partake in various beach activities, capture picturesque moments with your mobile phone, and take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters. The Sandbank is a truly unique island structure, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, offering an unparalleled experience. Our journey continues as we make our way to the charming local island of Himmafushi. Here, we'll serve picnic lunch for you to savor. Feel free to explore the island, immersing yourself in the local way of life, indulging in some souvenir shopping, and sampling delicious Maldivian snacks—a wonderful opportunity to connect with the culture and traditions of this community.
Following our Sandbank and Local Island Tour, we're in for an exhilarating snorkeling experience. We'll equip you with snorkeling gear, life jackets, and a life buoy to ensure your safety and comfort in the water. Our experienced Tour Guide will be on hand to assist you in exploring the breathtaking underwater wonders of the Maldives. Depending on the prevailing water conditions, we might make adjustments to the snorkeling location to optimize your experience. At Kanduoih Giri snorkeling point, you'll have the opportunity to observe magnificent stingrays, a vibrant array of fish, and even the elusive Moray Eel. Alternatively, if we make a stop at Kurumba Snorkeling point, prepare to encounter sharks, vibrant corals, and a diverse selection of marine life. For those eager to capture these underwater memories, we offer GoPro rental onboard. Don't hesitate to request this service from your Tour Guide, ensuring you can relive and share your snorkeling adventure.
Dolphin Cruise: In the event that our morning dolphin encounter is not successful, we have an alternative plan in place. We'll set a course for the Dolphin Channel, a renowned open water channel where dolphin sightings are highly probable on a daily basis. Although it's a matter of luck, if fortune favors us, you'll witness the spectacular sight of hundreds of dolphins swimming in close proximity to our boat, leaping playfully through the waves. To enhance this enchanting experience, we often engage in clapping, a friendly gesture aimed at capturing the attention of these magnificent creatures.
Return to Jetty: The boat returns to the Hulhumale Excursion Jetty around 4:00 pm, concluding the full-day tour.

The tour missed A LOT of aspects that were advertised: there were no beach towels, no changing rooms, no restrooms on board, no shower facilities, no tea & coffee, no local island tour (unless being left to walk alone is supposed to qualify), no snorkeling before lunch (lots of time spent at the sand bank and at lunch). Giving more than one star for two reasons: 1) the staff were nice, and their GoPro videos were absolutely worth the reasonable price; 2) the snorkeling was good, we saw a huge number of fish - but even this has a caveat: the staff on our boat and others fed bread to attract the fish, which is a harmful practice. Through a walking tour the next day I learned that other companies like Secret Paradise have more sustainable practices.

The lesson here is that speaking the same language and communicating are not the same thing. We never met up. We arrived an hour and half early. Made the first call that we just got off the ship and we're told we would be picked up shortly. No one ever arrived. Three calls later and 15 minutes after tour started a girl who spoke clearly said we were in the wrong place and had missed the tour. No more contact. $150 Gone I guess

At first, there was a 3hour delay. Mechanical problem on the boat. We wasted our halfday at the Hulhumale Jetty Port.. Though, the crew and tour officials are nice, helpful and all, particulaly Ms. Melony of UI Travel. The tour is fair for its price. Very good snorkeling spots, excellent sand bar, very good food. All in all, this trip is fair for its price. Next time kindly fix or test the boat first.
