Maldives in October 2019
Fellow travellers, we are inviting you on April and May 2017 to join a new route across the Maldives. We have prepared a non-touristy route in one of the most beautiful and breathtaking places on the planet. We are going to visit two islands that lie on the most beautiful Alif Alif atoll.
We’ll be carrying out a journey from the snow-white beaches and uninhabited islands by the Ukulhas island to the Thoddoo island that abounds in things green and is surrounded by coral reefs. We’ll be drinking juice right out of coconuts, going to meet those who live under water, taking picnics on the beach, learning to fish for tuna and getting acquainted with the culture and daily life of one of the most beautiful and ancient countries in the world.
