Day-by-day itinerary

DAY1

Arrive in the Maldives

Fly from Entebbe to Malé (connection included). You are met at the airport and taken to your resort by speedboat or seaplane. Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so a late arrival may mean a night near the airport first (we tell you in your quote). Check in to your overwater villa and enjoy dinner.

DAY2

House reef snorkelling

Slip off your villa steps or walk to the house reef to snorkel among colourful reef fish, with a chance of turtles and rays. Snorkel gear is usually available at the resort. Spend the afternoon by the pool or on the beach.
