Thulusdhoo, Maldives

Non Diver - Private acc. (5 days / 4 nights. Incl. 0 dives)

The scene
The Maldives is a destination most famous for the spectacular underwater environment of tropical coral reefs. We recommend doing a full course, but if you'd rather just have a try, you can book try diving as a supplement to this package.

Snorkelling is also very popular and a less expensive way to see some of the aquatic wonders. Operators on the island advertise organised tours on the basis of popularity. So sign up for a snorkelling excursion, or rent a set of snorkelling gear from the dive center, be bold and go explore on your own. The dive centre staff will be happy to give you ideas of where to go and where not to.

Kayaks and stand-up paddle boards can be rented on an informal basis from vendors on the beach. Experience the great outdoors while silently gliding over the water with the ocean breeze to ruffle your hair.

During the months from April to October, Thulusdhoo is a surfer's dream. With five world-famous surfing waves right on your doorstep, you can surf these bucketlist waves to your heart's content. Surf taxis operate from the beach at very reasonable prices for drop off and pickup. Surf coaches can be found on the island to introduce you to the surfing world, with expert advice on beginner waves right there on the beach.

Location
Thulusdho is an island where the surfing and the diving crowds live side by side on the beach. One block away is the real Maldives, the local village with its steady, slow pace of life, white sandy streets and green plants everywhere. It is all very pretty!
There is no alcohol on the island, but often, there is a really cool bar-boat just off the island, where you can quench your thirst with a cold beer, while the sun goes down and the tropical heat makes way for the comfortable evening breeze. From June to October you might even see manta rays feeding on the plankton which is attracted by the lights of the bar-boat! Take a mask and snorkel with you and join them in the warm water for an amazing encounter with these gentle giants.

Your guesthouse – Golhaa View
Just 20 meters from the bikini-beach you'll find the relaxed guesthouse of Golhaa View Inn, and 30 seconds of walking in the opposite direction will bring you to the dive center.
Your breakfast will be served in the cozy restaurant or outdoors in the lounging garden which is lush and green with endemic vegetation and trees to provide shade. Step out of the garden right onto the Bikini-beach to enjoy the turquoise waters. The guesthouse is very popular with surfers as well as divers which provides a great atmosphere.

Your Room
Each room has A/C, Fan, WIFI, television, refrigerator and a private bathroom with a hot shower. The rooms are cleaned daily.
