About this trip
Eight days based around Goidhoo Atoll, a quieter corner of the Maldives away from the resort circuit. This is a slower, community-focused trip built around local islands, their people and the water around them.
You'll snorkel reefs, explore mangroves and seagrass beds, and spend time on three inhabited islands getting a feel for daily Maldivian life rather than just beach time.
There's a cultural and environmental thread running through it - cooking with local women, meeting NGOs working on sustainability, and learning how these island communities function.
