Trip Snapshot
Our North Ari island hopping tour is designed to allow guests more flexibility and choice. Part of the excitement of travelling is arriving at a new destination and exploring. We are also aware that on some days you may wake up and decide today I fancy doing nothing. With this tour we will do the groundwork for you. We will book all accommodation and breakfast, organize and assist with your public ferry transfers and ensure there is always a guide on hand. This leaves you the responsibility of deciding what you want to do and when you want to do it. All of which can be organized during your trip or in advance if you prefer a more scheduled itinerary. The island of Rasdhoo is surrounded by the breathtaking ocean and is approximately 60km from Male. Rasdhoo is an inhabited local island offering a great place to see the culture of Maldivian people with a population of around 600. Ukulhas is situated in north Ari Atoll an area widely regarded as one of the best diving spots in the world. Ukulhas has an abundance of green vegetation as well as beautiful white sandy beaches and provides the ideal opportunity to discover Maldivian culture. Mathiveri is a small island. A large part of the community is involved in yellow fin tuna fishing. There are a couple of local restaurants and a handful of souvenir and local shops. In the center of the island is a 500 year old Banyan tree which acts as a landmark from the ocean. The lagoon is large and clear and when the season is right it is possible to snorkel or swim with manta rays on the outside reef. The island has a private tourist beach with sun umbrellas and sun loungers
