good tip there and certainly one that people should pay attention too! Thanks heaps!

Hey, thanks soooo much for your video.. it's exactly what I needed. I travelled to resorts hotels around 13 times, I'm just in love with this country. Just a little sad to see how all these beautiful islands begin to renovate into luxury stuff and unaffordable prices with jacuzzis and pools everywhere. I want to try a local island and Fulidhoo seems very good. I'm a diver but love also love to do some snorkelling, would you mind telling me how the snorkelling is ? and if we can snorkel all around the island or is it limited by the bikini beach areas ? Thank you so much

@StokedForTravel

Glad you enjoyed it! For sure Fulidhoo is a great local island option and is beautiful 😊 snorkelling off the island itself is pretty minimal (and you can do it all around the island) but the reefs within a short boat ride are epic and well worth checking out. Make sure you do the Alimatha sunset snorkel too!

What's the best of the budget hotels with beach front for female solo travellers or the cheapest holiday resort. Is it a good idea to spread your stay between the two types of resort? Thank you

That is the great Video. Can I and my kid snorkel to see Nurse Sharks from the beach? Or I have to buy day trip.

@StokedForTravel

Sometimes they do turn up in the evenings and you can see them from the beach, but this isn’t super often. You can certainly do alimatha as a snorkel trip though 😊

Good question Saravana! Dolphins are spotted year round, whale sharks are a little less frequent though and there’s no guaranteed sightings - generally speaking though May to Nov is the best time for them and manta rays too 😊 Fingers crossed you get lucky with them!

Still confused about transportation, if speed boat leaves at 11am, and we arrive at 3 pm. How can I book hotel without knowing the possible ride and the price? and the same story with the other islands..

@StokedForTravel

Ай бұрын

Speedboat times can vary from island to island and operator too, generally speaking though the hotels can help organise transfers. However if you arrive later than the last boat, you might need to spend a night in Malé or Huhulamale for a night and head down the next day

@JuliyaCoh

Ай бұрын

@@StokedForTravel We have 2 hours left before the boat departs, there is no point in spending the night on Male. But my question is, is it risky not to book a boat through the guest house, or will it be okay if we get out of the airport and find this boat? I understand that if we buy a ticket on the spot, it costs $ 20 cheaper per person than through booking at the guest house?

@StokedForTravel

@@JuliyaCoh personally I like landing and knowing that first part of the trip is all sorted, takes the stress out of things. Most guest houses will charge the same rate for the ferry or speedboat option as booking direct though in my experience

@StokedForTravel Hi there! We already came back. Yeah, we booked our transport throw the guest house both ways. But what a disappointment it was that they put us on a really high-speed direct boat from the airport, but we went back on a speed boat, but(!) with 2 more stops on the other 2 islands, as a result, instead of 1.45 hours, we drove 3.5 hours back. It was terrible, and by the way, Guest house asked if we would have a plane that day, to which I replied no, the next morning. That's why they decided to save money and as result is this. Therefore, next time I would like to have everything under control and even book transport myself.

Resort tour charges??
