The Dhoni will explore between different islands, where you will have the opportunity to snorkel. It is not guaranteed to see sharks, however, there is a chance.

I wanted to know how much the final price was, I saw that we have 5% less when we have already done an adventure with G

the 6 april for two people, couple

Can I change components of my itinerary, specifically in Maldives? I would like to take low-level aerial photography across a few hundred aerial miles of the string of pearls

Our tours and itinerary are set on our departures. We do not book any activities listed outside of our itinerary for our travellers. When in the Maldives you are mainly going to be cruising around the South Malé and Felidhu atolls, disembarking to visit islands and sandbars along the way.

  We've checked the date and the USD pricing already has a promotion applied, so we're unable to add another. We can only add one discount per tour, per person, so the Tour Radar website price is correct in this instance.
