3 Point Snorkeling Safari

This 3-hour snorkeling tour departs from Hulhumale or Male and visits three reef sites across the Maldives, where reef sharks, sea turtles, eagle rays, and stingrays patrol vibrant coral gardens. Your certified guide serves as both spotter and safety net, helping you navigate the underwater landscape while pointing out details you might miss solo. All gear is provided, though bringing your own mask reduces leak risk and boosts confidence. The outfit prioritizes reef conservation and follows international safety protocols.
