South routes – 7 nights

Routes

Go South & Go Back South

We have created these special routes that
travels through the Maldives from Malé to the
southernmost atoll, Addu, or vise versa.
Our itineraries are designed to be flexible. You
can book the trip in either direction:

Go South: Starts in Malé and ends in Gan.

Go Back South: Starts in Gan and ends in Malé.

Because Gan International Airport is easily
accessible, you can conveniently book your
international flights to arrive at one port and
depart from the other.

In 7 nights of cruising, you will experience
everything the Maldives has to offer, visiting 6
atolls: the beauty of its reefs, cleaning station
manta rays, and the channels of the southern
atolls with their spectacular pelagic life and
countless grey reef sharks.

You'll encounter numerous shark species:
hammerheads, bull sharks, schools of silvertip
sharks, oceanic blacktips, leopard sharks, and
thresher sharks. Plus, there are 3 dives with tiger sharks in the Fuvahmulah atoll—absolutely spectacular! We also won't miss the night whale shark dive in Taa or Gaaf Alif.
