Our itinerary for this week offers an experience like no other. All arriving guests will be picked up at the airport at 1 pm (no late arrivals will be allowed on this trip), and on the same day, we will navigate directly to Hanifaru Bay, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve that facilitates sustainably led tourism and habitat protection for manta rays and whale sharks. This is a sublime spot for encounters with these ocean greats and makes this expedition one of a kind. It is a real privilege, as scuba diving here has been forbidden since 2012.

Besides once-in-a-lifetime manta experiences, the northern atolls of the archipelago offer numerous pinnacles that come with their own unique topography and hidden treasures such as swim-throughs and overhangs.

These calm northern waters are scattered with sandbanks and picnic islands with huge shallow lagoons that we're likely to have just to ourselves.

On top of daily freediving, you will have a chance to participate in the following:
