A full week of island life: two snorkeling trips to different reef points, a sunset dolphin cruise and a night-fishing trip under the stars, with plenty of slow beach days in between.

One of the few local islands sitting right between two world-class marine encounters.
Half-day and full-day trips on the reefs and sandbanks around Mathiveri.
A guided two-hour snorkeling trip to the best reef points around Mathiveri, where you can encounter manta rays, nurse sharks, turtles, coral gardens and a shipwreck. Snorkeling gear (mask and fins) and a life jacket are provided free, and a guide joins every trip. Suitable for all confident swimmers.
A two-hour guided boat cruise in search of wild dolphins in the waters around Mathiveri. Because the dolphins are wild, we cruise the area to find them, so sightings take time and are never fully guaranteed — but encounters are common. A relaxed trip, especially beautiful at sunset.
Head out with a local guide for traditional handline fishing around Mathiveri, by day or under the stars. Keep your catch — and we can arrange a special fresh-fish dinner cooked from what you land. A fun, authentic evening on the water.

Quick answers to what travellers ask us most.
The easiest way to reach Mathiveri from Malé airport (MLE) is the private speedboat, which runs every day and takes about 1.5 hours. We arrange it for every booking, and it can collect you at the airport: on arrival, go to counter C4 and the team will direct you. From Malé or the airport it leaves at 10:00am (9:30am on Fridays) and 4:00pm, and from Mathiveri back to Malé at 6:30am and 1:00pm; times can shift with the weather and are confirmed when you book. A cheaper public ferry leaves Malé around 9:00am on Mondays and Thursdays, changes boats at Rasdhoo and takes about six hours. Send us your flight details once your booking is confirmed, and see our Mathiveri guide for the full route.
Two options. A private speedboat is fastest (about USD 60 per adult each way, USD 30 for children under 10, free under 2), runs every day, and has a morning and an afternoon departure in each direction. The public ferry is cheapest (about USD 10 per person each way) but leaves Malé only on Mondays and Thursdays (around 9:00am), changing boats at Rasdhoo and taking about six hours. We book your speedboat once dates are confirmed and can advise ferry days for your travel date.
Manta rays gather at a reef near Mathiveri and are seen reliably year-round. We run guided manta snorkelling trips when they're present. Sightings are never fully guaranteed, but Alif Alif Atoll is one of the Maldives' best manta areas.
Yes. A local-island guesthouse on Mathiveri costs a fraction of a private-island resort. You book directly with us — no resort markup — from USD 50 per night, with the same reefs, beaches, and excursions nearby.
Dress modestly in the village and keep swimwear for the bikini beach. Mathiveri is an inhabited island, so loose, light clothing that covers more than beachwear is expected when you walk around the village. Swimwear is fine on the designated bikini beach, and alcohol is not sold or served on the island. Pack swimwear, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen (reef-safe if you can), a light rain layer for the wet season and a valid passport; mask, fins and a life jacket are provided free on snorkelling trips. We brief you on the local etiquette before you arrive.
