Let us explain to you a bit more about the excursions in the Maldives and all activities that we can organize for you!
From snorkeling with whale sharks to romantic dinners on the beach, fishing excursions and cooking classes.
If you can think about it, we can probably organize it for you!
Escape the island and enjoy the serenity and solitude of a sandbank for a few hours. Take out some snorkeling gear to explore the surrounding reef and have some refreshments in a beanbag under the umbrella.
Optional: Take away one of our Bliss-made picnic basket for a mouth watering lunch!
South Ari Atoll is a unique spot, sporting some of the highest wild encounters of whale sharks in the world! On a clear and calm day, it’s not uncommon to spot multiple whale sharks.
With snorkeling gear, you’ll be able to swim alongside these giants with ease.
For centuries, the Maldives was primarily a nation of fishermen. Experience the traditional fishing lifestyle by joining the inhabitants of Dhigurah on their fishing adventures. Catch your own snapper, barracuda, grouper or other fish and have it barbecued on our rooftop or the beach!
Be one with the sea and explore the shoreline on a canoe or a standup paddleboard. You can make your way to the tip of the island or to a popular Manta Ray spot that’s nearby the Dhigurah shoreline. Feel free to pack your snorkeling gear and make your own adventure. Word of caution: Balancing on a standup paddle board may look easier than it is!
Love to dive a bit more into culture and local life? How better to do this than to cook with the local inhabitants of Dhigurah! We will organize a private cooking class for you with one of Dhigurah’s women and will translate for you. The actual cooking is done on the beach or on our rooftop. You’ll be able to pick the dishes you would like to learn, or let the ‘chef’ decide what’s on the menu for the day!
We have both Bottlenose and Spinner dolphins in Ari Atoll. They typically travel in small pods ranging from five to fifteen. On rare occasions, these smaller pods merge to form a super pod that can range anywhere from 50 to over 100 dolphins. We have also seen pilot whales swim alongside the dolphins.
We welcome you to explore the underwater world by learning how to dive! If you are already certified, hop aboard the ‘Dhoni’ and be amazed by our surrounding nature. Not only can you be snorkeling with whale sharks, encounter them while submerged as well!
South Ari Atoll is well-known for its amazing variety of fish and rich ocean life. Groupers, sweetlips, surgeonfish, fusiliers, moray eels, turtles, eagle rays, manta rays and many many more can be spotted. Nemo and Dory await you!
Dhigurah’s house reef is stretching for a few kilometers on the outside of the atoll. It is easily accessible by a 10 minute boat ride and amazing wildlife can be spotted! Hawksbill- and Green turtles, eagle rays, black- and white tip reef sharks, eels and a variety of fish are no strangers to our reef. With a bit of luck, a whale shark could swim right next to you!
The mantas that swim around Dhigurah are ‘reef mantas’. Although smaller than the oceanic mantas, the reef mantas are still pretty big, growing to an average wing span of 3-3.5 meters (9-11.5ft).
Hop on a boat to snorkel or dive with these animals around the corner! Or even better, paddle away on an SUP or canoe, take a mask and plunge in just outside of Dhigurah.
