| Excursions - Island Hopping |
Venturing off the beaten path is part of the adventure.
 By local definition, when you leave your tourist resort on a visit to a place of special interest, that is an excursion. Resorts often offer a good choice of reasonably-priced set excursions. Some of these might include a visit to a fishing village and a visit to Male'.
Another way of fitting in a lot into one Package is island hopping. This involves going on a circuit of islands nearby, perhaps entailing a visit to a fishing village, an uninhabited island, and various stops for snorkeling and a barbecue.
Almost all resorts offer an excursion program. Some of these programs are scheduled while others are tailor-made to suit individual needs. The scheduled programs often include island hopping and night-fishing; unnique terms for a unique destination.
 Island Hopping
An 'island-hopping' excursion would take you to another resort, an uninhabited island and an inhabited island all in a day-tour designed to give you a taste of the country. You would also get the opportunity to snorkel in the clear waters of a desert island and experience a barbecue on the beach. Some resorts take this a step further by conducting the excursion by sea plane.
Male' Excursion
Male' Excursions are organized regularly by resorts in Male' Atoll, however some resorts in other atolls also offer you the opportunity to visit the capital during your stay. Male' is the political and commercial hub of the country. (See Section on Male')
 Night Fishing
Night fishing is a special Maldivian form of evening entertainment in which you could enjoy the peace and stillness of the night under starry skies while you fish for snapper or grouper, and end the evening with a barbecue prepared with your very own catch.
 Photo Flights
Resorts also offer you the opportunity to savor the beauty of the Maldives from the air. While some resorts offer organized photo flights by seaplane, you have the option of arranging your own aerial expedition as well. |

 The Maldives' spas are in a world of their own. It is the perfect blend of luxurious therapies, health and beauty experiences and sensory stimulation complemented by the tranquil surrounding and blissful tropical beauty.
Spas offer a large number of therapies and facilities ranging from aroma+herapy, massage to Jacuzzis and saunas. Many of the treatments combine traditional Asian therapies with classic European spa techniques.

Here are a few tips about your holiday health
 Before you travel, tell your travel agent permanent disabilities or chronic conditions when you make your booking. Bring with you any devices you depend on. Also bring a good supply of all medications you are dependent on. Back these up with a valid prescription in case Customs needs it or if you need a refill.
Avoid traveling through countries in which dangerous diseases have been reported.
Next, be careful where you eat and drink. Registered food and beverage outlets in the country are usually safe. Avoid raw fruit and vegetables from dubious sources.
 If you need medical attention, alert your host. Most tourist resorts have in-house first aid centres and/or house doctors.
Exercise caution when diving, snorkeling and swimming. Follow correct procedure, use proper equipment and follow any directives given by instructors.
Being cautious and sensible is what makes a safe holiday. |
