Our tours generally begin and end in the International Airport on Hulhule' Island barely ten minutes across the channel from Male', the capital. Each tour covers two or three atolls or more depending on the duration. The cruising is done during the daylight hours, passing by palm-fringed islands set over sugar-white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons. Normally the vessel is calmly anchored by sunset, sometimes near an uninhabited island or a deserted sand bank, sometimes near an inhabited island, affording our guests an opportunity to savour the local arts, crafts and singing and dancing called boduberu .
