There's a day-trip available that we've done twice...

1. 20 minute seaplane flight to Biyadoo, halfway down South Malé Atoll
2. Speedboat to a sandbank at the south end of South Malé Atoll. (Nice fish and coral on the north side).
3. Speedboat to Rihiveli Resort.
4. Wade across to Rihiveli's Picnic Island for barbecue lunch.
5. Wade back to Rihiveli for speedboat to either Guraidhoo or Mafuri (Maafushi) local townships for sightseeing/souvenier shopping.
6. Speedboat back to Biyadoo to meet seaplane.
7. Arrive back at the airport around 5:00 p.m.

Cost for this (for the last two years) has been US$149 per person.

Ask for details at your resort.
