Travel scenario
Day 1. A warm welcome. Male
From Malé airport, a speedboat will swiftly take you to a luxurious, executive-class yacht. A warm reception awaits you, with friendly introductions to the crew, refreshing welcome cocktails, and a delicious lunch crafted by the chef. Get ready for an endorphin rush as you embark on 8 luxurious days cruising through one of the most vibrant places on earth – the Maldives. Relax in the yacht’s jacuzzi and soak up the sun on the decks, easing into vacation mode after your flight. In the evening, over a gourmet dinner, you'll start counting the stunning sunsets and sunrises, enjoying the company of your loved ones. We know that trips like these bring people closer and strengthen friendships even more!
Day 2. Immersion in a colourful holiday. Rasdhoo Island
In the morning, your yacht will dock at Rasdhoo Island, one of the most vibrant places in the Maldives archipelago. A stroll along Madivaru Beach will be like therapy: soft, flour-like sand beneath your feet, warm sunshine overhead, and complete calm — no waves or wind — ideal conditions for peaceful relaxation.
After lunch, you'll dive into the underwater world at Kuramathi Faru Reef, one of the best snorkelling spots. Here, you'll see a variety of fascinating fish, such as parrotfish, barracudas, butterflyfish, clownfish, moray eels, and reef sharks. If you're lucky, you might even spot a Napoleon wrasse, a massive fish with a distinctive "hump" on its head.
In the evening, you’ll head to Mayaa Sandbank. Far from civilisation, this serene spot feels like the edge of the world. It’s the perfect setting for romantic sunsets, meditative walks, and endless conversations over dinner.
Day 3. Cosmic swim with manta rays. Fesdhoo Reef
Your morning will begin at Mayaa Sandbank, a small sandy oasis surrounded by the ocean — a perfect place to relax and enjoy the untouched beauty of nature. Then comes the highlight of the day — an encounter with majestic manta rays at Fesdhoo Reef. These graceful creatures will glide effortlessly through the water, floating around you — a memory to cherish for a lifetime.
As evening approaches, you'll receive instructions on observing mantas at night, followed by a mesmerising swim with these incredible creatures. They appear even more mysterious and otherworldly in the darkness, their smooth movements almost hypnotic. Wonder, delight, pure joy? Or perhaps euphoria? What cosmic emotions will this magical encounter evoke in you?
Day 4. Kaleidoscope of snorkelling. Degaa Thila, Emboodhoo, Mirihi
The morning will begin with refreshing snorkelling at the Degaa Thila Reef. The name comes from the word "Dhey-Gaa," meaning "two rocks," indeed, this reef features two large rock formations. It’s filled with underwater caves and hidden corners, where you can easily spot longnose hawkfish among the black coral and amusing Dracula shrimp gobies on the sandy seabed. Strong currents make this spot perfect for observing schools of neon fusiliers and predatory dogtooth tuna on the hunt! The yacht will then sail to the Emboodhoo area. You can relax on a white-sand beach and snorkel in the picturesque Emboodhoo lagoon. Your sea adventure will continue to Mirihi Island, where the Maldives' first overwater bungalows appeared — charming stilted houses perched above the ocean, complete with private terraces leading directly into the water. In the evening, you'll have a snorkelling briefing about whale sharks.
Day 5. A romantic experience with whale sharks and dinner on a desert island. Rangali, SAMPA, Dhigurah
Your day will begin with an exhilarating sunrise snorkel at Rangali Madiwaru, where many stingrays can be spotted, particularly during the northeast monsoon season. This area serves as a "spa" for marine life, where small cleaner fish remove parasites and dead tissue from the skin, gills, and teeth of larger fish and manta rays.
After breakfast, you’ll sail to the SAMPA region and have a romantic rendezvous with whale sharks. These gentle giants can grow up to 20 metres in length, but don’t worry — they feed only on plankton and, despite their size, are known for being friendly and even playful. What is it like to swim alongside such magnificent creatures among the corals? You’ll experience it all yourself.
In the afternoon, you’ll snorkel at the Dhigurah Arches, and in the evening, enjoy a romantic BBQ dinner on a desert island. The sound of waves, flickering candlelight, and stars twinkling will create a truly magical evening. These are the kinds of priceless moments that make the best memories in life.
Day 6. Beach holidays and water activities in Dhigurah, Vaavu, and Alimatha
The morning will begin with your arrival at Vaavu Atoll, a peaceful and secluded location known as one of the best spots for diving, fishing, beach holidays, and night diving. Here, you can witness dozens of blacktip sharks, nurse sharks, stingrays, and even the sunken ship Maldives Victory.
On the sandy, uninhabited Sandbank, you can relax under the shade of palm trees or, if you wish, arrange a professional photo shoot. After all, the most iconic photos many people associate with the Maldives are taken on such untouched islands. Jet skis and SUP boards are available for those seeking adventure.
In the late afternoon, you'll arrive in Alimatha for an evening of snorkelling. Visitors come here hoping to catch a glimpse of moray eels and other marine life. This spot is also famous as a nesting ground for sea turtles, and you may even witness newborn turtles making their way to the ocean.
Day 7. Alluring manta rays and cocktail party. Riveli, Male, Stingray City
The day will begin with snorkelling on the uninhabited island of Riveli. Next, you'll head to Stingray City, where you'll encounter the captivating manta rays. During one dive, you may see up to ten manta rays at a time — an experience that defies description. Enjoy a stunning sunset on deck in the evening, followed by a gourmet dinner and a cocktail party. This will be your final sunset together on this cruise.
Day 8. Goodbye, Maldives. Male
After breakfast, you'll head to the airport, taking with you your personal collection — a palette of colourful emotions and memories. After all, with Scenario Travel, it’s always like this: “One trip. Hundreds of discoveries”.
