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.

Unfortunately I didn’t have the best experience with UI Maldives. First, the meeting time was 8:30 and check in staff didn’t arrive until 9:00 which was the start of the tour. I spent time looking around the jetty, asking people and thought the tour was cancelled as no one was at there at the stated reporting time, and well after. Second, the boat arrived at 9:30 and the tour was supposed to start at 9:00. Delays are expected and okay, but there was no communication around this. We checked in and were just waiting for further instructions. Third, the tour leader wasn’t the best unfortunately. I asked if a guide could stay close to me as I’m not great at swimming in currents to which he said to get in and practice and if needed a guide will help! Especially as on another tour the leader assigned guides to poor ocean swimmers. The life jacket was entirely ripped on one side and they didn’t have another one my size. I tried contacting them multiple times via Viatour ahead of the tour and received no response. I’m sure there might be positive experiences for others, but I didn’t have the best experience on tour or in dealing with the company prior to the tour, so I wouldn’t recommend this company/ experience.

It's pretty good. We didn't go to that snorkeling point but to the one more sheltered due to the weather. Saw a lot of dolphins.

Let’s see: one hour late. Then the so called boat comes: old, noisy, you’re packed to one another, couldn’t stand the waves. NOT a tour boat for tourists at all. The sandbank is ok for a few photos, lunch just ok. The snorkelling? OMG the unsafest thing ever. Boat was not anchored and you go swim near the “border” of a resort. What is wrong with this tour company!!! Please read this and don’t go!!!!
Wonderful day with UI

We had a wonderful full day with UI. The boat sailed along beautiful islands and we saw many dolphins from the boat. We waded to a sandbank and we snorkeled at a great spot with rays, sharks and lots of beautiful tropical fishes. The boat was fine and well equipped for snorkeling and the Indian lunch was excellent. The crew was very friendly, professional, helpful, and caring to make it a memorable excursion. I would definitely recommend this day trip to everyone.
