About your trip

After 5 incredible sold-out Maldives trips in 2026, we are SO excited to be bringing this trip back again! It's truly one of my favorite trips EVER!

The Maldives is a dream destination like no other—crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and an endless stretch of white sand beaches


We’ll be exploring the incredible marine life of the Maldives on a "Safari in the Sea", swimming alongside nurse sharks, stingrays and potentially even the majestic whale shark! Expect to snorkel or dive in some of the most pristine waters in the world. (And if you've never scuba-dived before and have wanted to try, this is your chance!!) 


We will also have an incredible drone & underwater photographer, ensuring that your experience is not only unforgettable but also beautifully documented.


From luxury overwater villas to island-hopping on traditional Dhoni boats, this trip is about both adventure, relaxation, and discovering the wild side of this tropical paradise.


If you’re ready for an experience filled with turquoise lagoons, exotic wildlife, and the adventure of a lifetime, join me in the Maldives! 


Initial deposit of $500 is non-refundable. All payments are nonrefundable 120 days out.

Day 3

Whale shark

After breakfast, we will depart for South Ari Atoll, where we will search for the world's biggest fish, the Whale Shark. We cannot guarantee sightings, but we will do our best with this "safari of the sea!"


Swimming with whale sharks in the Maldives is an incredible experience, offering a unique opportunity to encounter these gentle giants in their natural habitat.

We work closely with the Maldives Whale Shark Research Project, a local NGO that lobbies for greater protection of these majestic creatures, and we will learn a little more about Whale Sharks before entering the water. 


After our day on the water, we will stop at Dhigurah for a sandbank lunch and enjoy one of the country's most beautiful islands for swimming and a drone photoshoot before returning to Fulidhoo in the evening for an included bonfire dinner.


Day 4

Swim with Nurse Sharks

We will wake up with the sunrise on our island paradise to go on another adventure today: swimming with nurse sharks!


This is a trip highlight and a moment you're sure to never forget! Our team will be in the water helping to capture epic content during your excursion.

After, we will have a breakfast on a remote sandbank in the Indian Ocean.

Enjoy the crystal clear waters (and more drone videos!!) before we head to a 5 star resort for a day pass! Option to add on the all-inclusive alcoholic package here!

Day 5

Leopard shark safari & scuba diving!

We'll have beachside breakfast again before departing on an excursion to see if we can locate one of the beautiful leopard sharks that live in the lagoons off our island.

If we're lucky, we may even find some dolphin pods on our way! And our crew will be there filming the entire underwater experience so you can just enjoy :)

Enjoy lunch back on our local island before gearing up for scuba diving!

This is an optional activity, but the Maldives is an amazing place to try scuba diving for the first time! This often ends up being a trip high for many people so I highly recommend you try it!

Enjoy an included dinner on the beach.

Day 6 and 7
