You will be given more information about Yameen's phone number at the information desk if, for any reason, you are unable to locate him. Our team will be there to greet you when you arrive in Maafushi and assist with check-in. As we wait for additional visitors to come, feel free to visit the bikini beach or explore the island after settling into the hotel. Come together for a delicious BBQ buffet dinner at our beachside restaurant at 7:30 p.m. Do you want to get drinks later? If anyone is interested, alcohol is for sale on the yacht that is parked outside!

From the Maldives, greetings! ARRIVE AT THE AIRPORT INFORMATION FOR OUR CLASSIC 4, 7, AND 10 DAY TOURS You can now depart for our first island as soon as you arrive without having to wait for the full group thanks to a new airport pickup arrangement we've put up with hotel staff. You will be met by Yameen when you leave the terminal after retrieving your luggage. She will be holding a sign that reads, "Arena Hotel." You should inform Yameen that you have a reservation at the Arena Hotel with BeachLife Tours, and she will drive you to the next speedboat, which leaves at 9:15, 1:30, and 5:30 p.m. (the trip will take around 30 minutes).

Maafushi offers a wide variety of activities and lovely white sand beaches. There are about 4,000 people living in Maafushi, which is about 30 minutes from the airport. Maafushi was the first local island to start guest houses; they did so in 2010. Since then, there has been a quick flood of lodgings, making it one of the busiest - and most convenient - local islands close to the airport. Let me briefly explain why we visit Maafushi. First of all, it's handy. We know that most people are exhausted after lengthy travels, so it allows for a simple transition.

We also stay at one of Maafushi's top hotels, which has a wonderful beach, but the greatest part is that from there, we take some amazing day trips both alone and with the help of our own speedboat. We take you on excursions to far-flung islands with sand banks where you may swim, snorkel, watch dolphins swimming and jumping out of the water, tan in the sun, and have lunch before returning to Maafushi.

Inclusions:

* Includes 2-3 nights hotel.

* airport transfers, speedboat to Maafushi, & staff to carry your luggage in Maafushi.

* Includes continental breakfast every day.

* Includes a delicious buffet dinner every night next to the beach.

* Includes one speedboat tour around other islands, snorkeling around various reefs, snorkeling with turtles, harmless reef sharks, watching dolphins, and a free lunch on a beautiful deserted sand bank island with crystal clear waters and white sand beaches.

Optional activities: Scuba-diving, various snorkeling trips, jet-ski rentals, kayaking, paddle boards, resort island day tour, and more!
