We can tailor-make island hopping itineraries in the Maldives for you for almost any island and any duration. We put together this suggested twin centre tour to two of our favourite islands because they offer excellent value and show divers the diversity of dive sites and marine life on two atolls. Not to mention, both of these island resorts have unforgettable house reefs!
Day One: London to Male
Fly overnight from London Heathrow to Male on a direct flight.
Day Two: Male to South Male
You will be met at the airport by our ground agents, who will show you to your speedboat for a transfer to your island resort (approximately 30 minutes). When you arrive you will receive a warm Maldivian greeting and be shown to your room where you will stay for the next week.

Day Three - Eight: Biyadhoo Island
Biyadhoo Island is a small and simple island, the way the Maldives used to be. The island is surrounded by a vibrant house reef teaming with marine life that is great for snorkelling and diving. There are 7 secret passages to the cave where you can find ghost pipe fishes, harlequin shrimp, and other macro miracles. The 5* PADI dive centre will organize boat dives to some of the best corner and channel dives in the area, such as Kandooma Thila. These sites feature strong currents and pelagics and are sure to impress even seasoned divers.

Day Nine: South Male to Ari Atoll
After breakfast, you will be taken by speedboat from Biyadhoo to Male, and then on to your next island getaway, Kuramathi (approximately 1.5 hours).
Once you are greeted and shown to your room, you can spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing on the beautiful white sandy beaches, snorkelling, or enjoying some of the wonderful facilities that the island has to offer.

Day Nine - Fourteen: Ari Atoll
One of the most extensively facilitated islands in the Maldives, Kuramathi Island Resort has something for everyone. But the 5* PADI Gold dive centre and location to some of the best dive sites around Ari and Rashdoo Atolls make it the ideal island for divers. The island offers a house reef which is available for guided and unguided dives which can be made throughout the day. The island is surrounded by deep waters which attract pelagics in the channels and drop offs nearby. The dive centre offers boat dives to the most famous sites of North Ari Atoll, as well as Hammerhead Point, which is only 8 minutes away by boat and gives Advanced divers the opportunity to dive with hammerheads throughout the year.
