About this Jrny

Pristine white-sand beaches, the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean and vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life — welcome to the Maldives. This is a trip for water lovers and adventurers. No experience is needed, just an urge to explore and jump into the water!

Leading this adventure is Tascha Eipe, Maldives expert and a certified PADI rescue diver with 100+ dives.

The journey begins in Male with a speedboat transfer to Fulidhoo, a beautiful local island. With its white sand beaches, vibrant marine life, and the clearest shades of blue water, Fulidhoo is nothing short of paradise and serves as our base in the Maldives.

Our water explorations begin with a snorkelling excursion to swim with gentle nurse sharks, a visit to a sandbank and an evening boat ride to take in a spectacular sunset. Next, we jump into the vibrant underwater world again with snorkelling in coral gardens. The amazing colours and breathtaking coral formations are a sight to behold. With some luck, we might even encounter a turtle.

Set sail on a dolphin cruise to watch these majestic creatures in their home, surrounded by the vast ocean. For those ready to take the leap, try an introductory scuba dive. For our next adventure, we don our snorkelling gear and explore a sunken shipwreck off the coast of Fulidhoo.

We celebrate the end of our Maldivian adventure with a beach party with the backdrop of a stunning final sunset. The Maldives is a remarkable destination and this Jrny makes it accessible for everyone.
