Whisk away by private speedboat to a deserted Indian Ocean sandbank — a sliver of white sand surrounded by turquoise infinity. Snorkel pristine house reefs teeming with sea turtles and reef sharks, then enjoy a chilled champagne picnic under the open sky.
What to expect
A sleek, air-conditioned speedboat collects you directly from the Male cruise terminal. In 20–30 minutes you arrive at a postcard-perfect sandbank where the water is barely knee-deep and crystal-clear. Your guide leads a 45-minute guided snorkel on the surrounding reef before a gourmet picnic of fresh Maldivian seafood, tropical fruit and sparkling wine is laid out on the sand. The return transfer is timed precisely to your all-aboard.
Good to know
Pre-book at least 2 weeks ahead — sandbank picnics are in extremely high demand. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a dry bag for valuables. The speedboat pier is a 5-minute walk from the cruise terminal. Confirm your all-aboard time with your captain at departure.
