Ride the waves of Huvadhoo Atoll
A sporty cruise in the southern Maldives

During your 10-day cruise, you will sail and surf in the south of the archipelago, in the Huvadhoo atoll. Still little frequented, the place is ideal to catch the waves and explore the seabed in complete serenity. The local crew will also propose you other activities depending on your stopover (snorkeling, fishing, hiking...).
The best season for surfing in the Maldives is from March to October.
