It
is strongly recommended the clients bring equipment of personal nature.
However if one needs any special gear, it is advisable to let us know
of requirements at the time of booking.
Cruising / Sailing
Unlike
the sailing safari, cruising safaris are hardly affected by the weather
and can be enjoyed throughout the year. The choice of boats is greater
as is with the diving safari. The itinerary can be varied significantly
to include all your favorite resorts and 'Robinson Cruiso' islands. It
also gives you ample opportunity to visit fishing villages and discover
their simple lifestyle. A cruising holiday is the best way to see much
of the Maldives in a relatively short period of time. As always, you
will enjoy the company of our experienced crew and the delightful meals
served on board.
As with the sailing safari, the diving option is available on the cruising safari, but must be pre booked at the time of your reservation. Select the boat of your choice for your Cruising Safari.
