Program

Day 1. Hi Maldives!

12:00 — we meet all tour participants on the island

13:30 — lunch

15:00 — sunbathe on a snow-white beach, swim in the arms of the warm ocean, relax after the flight

19:00 — we have dinner, get to know each other and discuss the snowstorm plan for the upcoming week of rest


The Maldives greets you rosy and sunny fr om the plane window, beckoning you with a heavenly tropical vacation, shining with colorful colors. Islands of various shapes meet your way, and, like in an art gallery, it's impossible to take your eyes off this masterpiece created by nature. Try to live these moments in pleasure, without fuss, because in the Maldives life is much slower than the city's pace, let yourself start your vacation right now

When you get off the plane, you will feel the pleasant Maldivian warmth and relaxation. Then it's very simple: a friendly, friendly, curly-haired guide will be waiting for you at the desk indicated by me (chat information for participants). He will take you to the speedboat to Thoddoo Island, which we will be the first to visit While you are waiting at the airport, you can have coffee in a cafe, have a snack, wh ere, by the way, they give you a ticket on Wi-Fi, and buy a SIM card if you need to work on vacation As it is, I understand Or just look at the beautiful ocean of turquoise shades

Then you take a speedboat to Thoddoo Island. Sail for about 1-1.5 hours, it all depends on the mood of the ocean that day. Bouncing a little, perhaps, but with a favorable breeze and sea spray, you break into the island itself. On the way, be sure to look around: sometimes brave flying fish jump out of the water and, of course, bullies dolphins who dashingly spin salts flasks and flasks above the water

Well, it's time for X! Welcome to Thoddoo! Everyone greets you on the island: a guide, buggies, friendly people, mighty trees, flying foxes, little Maldivian lizards To be honest, bananas and coconuts too

After exhaling a little after the speed boat, we head to the hotel on a buggy. The way to the hotel will pass through the island, so pay attention to residents' houses, small shops, cafes, mosques (Muslim Island), exotic trees, shrubs, flowers and even cats

And now we can see our Welcome hotel! The friendly hotel staff will bring you your suitcases, give you a Wi-Fi password, introduce you to cozy, locally decorated rooms, give you room keys and, of course, treat you to fresh, juicy, young and incredibly healthy drinking coconut!

After refreshing off under the air conditioning... oh yeah... it's a little hot, but it's the Maldives. After taking a cooling shower and lying on the bed for a while, we head to a snow-white beach with perfect cool sand. On the way, the guide will tell you a little bit about Thoddoo Island, show you where to buy fruit, toilets, showers, coral reef, sun beds, hammocks, etc.

It's time... meeting the ocean... it's love ❤️ You run to the ocean on the pleasant snow-white sand with your arms open, fall into it, he takes you with warm, gentle hugs, gently envelops you in warm and clear water. Note, you don't have to look under your feet — there's nothing but sand: no algae, no stones, no monsters) Relax and enjoy

In the evening, after swimming to our heart's content, having enjoyed exotic fruits and the warming sun all day long, we go to one of the island's cafes for dinner. We meet, talk about ourselves and plan a snowstorm for the coming week. After dinner, we take a short walk around the island, look into souvenir shops, buy everything we need and head to the hotel Here it is, the long-awaited rest and sleep


Day 2. Getting to know the island

7:00 — Island buggy tour.


8:00 — We have breakfast.

10:00 — Snorkeling on a home reef with turtles and fish.

13:30 — We have lunch.

15:30 — We arrange “rides” across the ocean on glanders.


19:00 — Dinner.

20:30 — Let's go see a real phenomenon — glowing plankton.

A tour of the island, snorkeling with turtles, canoeing and transparent boat rides, a dolphin tour and a search for glowing plankton.


We wake up to the first rays of sunshine and go on a buggy tour of the picturesque island. During the tour, you will get to know Thoddoo Island, see passion fruit plantations, papaya plantations, palm alley, sunrise and sunset beaches, the island's infrastructure, mosques and just the life of locals on

the island.

After the tour, we rush for breakfast and then go snorkeling together. Haven't you heard of snorkeling? Snorkeling is a form of swimming under the surface of the water with a mask and a breathing tube, usually with fins. A competent coach will tell you everything and, moreover, show you everything. So be patient, you will soon see the gorgeous underwater world of the Maldives. Thoddoo Island has a wonderful home reef, home to sea turtles, lots of colorful fish, rays and small sharks. This is where we'll go snorkeling

.

After snorkeling, we have a well-deserved long-awaited lunch, and then we will have an exciting SUP trip across the ocean. But as they say, don't swim behind buoys, so we'll stick to this rule.


If you could just get enough of emotions, it would probably be great, but no one canceled dinner. After a delicious dinner, we head to the beach at night to see the sparkles scattered on the beach that shimmer and shimmer when touched by a wave or breeze ✨ You probably already know this phenomenon is called glowing plankton. The guide will tell you all the details about this beautiful phenomenon. Get more space on your phones for new photos and more space in your shower for new emotions

.


Day 3. Dive into the underwater world

8:00 — We have breakfast.


9:00 — We go diving at the diving center.

13:30 — We have lunch.

16:00 — We are going for a bike ride around the island.

17:30 — We go fishing at night on a fishing boat.

20:00 — We will have dinner with freshly caught fish cooked on fire and share our impressions of the catch

We wake up at the first rays of sunshine and go diving. Diving is a form of scuba diving with equipment, an alluring and exciting adventure, combined with tranquility under the crystal clear waters of the Maldives. We will dive into the fascinating depths of the Indian Ocean under

the guidance of our experienced dive guides.

Diving offers a gateway to a world of vibrant marine life and breathtaking underwater scenery. Whether you're an experienced diver or a curious novice, our experienced and certified instructors will ensure a safe and memorable diving experience. We'll explore the kaleidoscopic coral reefs surrounding Thoddoo, teeming with herd fish, with the chance to see grey reef sharks and enigmatic hammerheads, as well as graceful manta rays. Dive along charming cliffs and walls, where every corner reveals a new ocean wonder

with the biodiversity of the Maldives.

After enjoying the cosmic views, we rush to lunch, after which we can just lie on the white sandy beach under the warming rays of the sun. When the sun is getting ready for sunset, we'll go for a bike ride around the island. A bike ride always brings a lot of emotions and impressions, because we feel freedom in every sense. On a bike ride, we'll visit the most mysterious corners of the island, ride around its perimeter, see how bananas and coconuts grow, and, if we're lucky, we'll see little turtles hurrying to dive

into the sea waters.

After riding our bikes to our heart's content, we go fishing to catch the biggest fish for dinner. The Indian Ocean is teeming with colorful, tasty and very healthy fish, so we take our equipment and go to the open ocean by boat. We are accompanied by experienced anglers who will tell you all the secrets of a successful catch. Well, after catching fish, we head to the hotel to prepare for dinner, while the fishermen will prepare our catch by adding a cup of rice and freshly sliced salad

.

After dinner, already tired, we go to bed so that tomorrow we will face the new day full of energy and impressions.


Day 4. Meet the inhabitants of the Indian Ocean

7:00 — We'll sail on a 3-in-1 excursion (manta, sea devil, babysitting sharks and a sandbar) 8:00 — We have breakfast aboard a speedboat 13:30 — Lunch 16:00 — We go for a relaxing Thai massage 18:00 — We spend this sunny day with a beautiful sunset on the beach 19:00 — Dinner 20:00 — Let's go in search of a glowing swim kton on a big beach







Good morning again! Today we wake up very early because we are going on an excursion, we call it “3 in 1” like coffee. We will visit the second planned island of Rasdhoo

, or rather its famous sandbar

A little sleepy, but looking forward to meeting sea devils, babysitting sharks and a sandbar, we rush across the mighty blue ocean with the breeze. When the speed is low, the captain and his assistants look intently into the ocean, of course, they're looking for manta rays that come here for a snack and clean up at the same time

There's

a little excitement in the boat. We're already putting on our flippers and masks, picking up the underwater camera and waiting for the captain's command ready: “Jump, jump!” , that is, “Jump, jump!” One by one, taking our time, so as not to frighten the manti away, we all go overboard and wait to meet the sea devil. Oh my God, they called it the sea devil, but in fact, manta is the most harmless in the Indian Ocean! She has no teeth, neither does she have a discharge on her tail... Enjoy Slowly, with slightly bated breath, we wait for the dumplings to appear, we set up the cameras, we feel light kisses from plankton

Oh, something is moving in the distance, flying, waving its 4-meter wings... it's her, the manta ray, majestic, kind, maneuverable. Personally, she resembles a tuned sports car: her streamlined shape, power, elegance in motion. Swimming with her is a pleasure, sometimes there are several, and they move in a joint one after another, opening and closing them with a big one mouth

After swimming enough with dumplings, full of emotions and impressions, we go to the sharks Yes, to the sharks. After manta rays, there is already a “knee-deep sea” Sharks are so sharks! Fully ready, we rush to “sharks point” As we swim slowly, the captain begins to gradually feed the sharks with slightly rotten tuna

Nurse

sharks appear slowly and imposingly, one after another. Food arrived by herself, so they don't need to move fast, they're just waiting for pieces of tuna in the water, but not for tourists, believe me? In the same way as on dumplings, we go overboard and enjoy swimming with babysitting sharks. They are faster and fussier, more concentrated than dumplings, they happily catch every piece of tuna. There are a lot of colorful, whimsical fish swimming around them, and they are also

a little hungry

After feeding the sharks and enjoying snorkeling, we head to the sandbar. On the way, a delicious and long-awaited snack awaits us

When we arrive at the sandbar, we take lots of photos, swim with colorful fish on the reef. On the sandbar, the sun is so close: it seems like we can reach it by hand

Well, the 3-in-1 tour is coming to an end Full of impressions, we return to the island On the way home, we can meet whole families of dolphins and flying fish. Arriving on the island and having a delicious lunch, for example, grilled octopus with vegetables or a large plate of seafood sprinkled with lemon juice, and after tasting delicious passion fruit mojito, we relax on white snowy sand in the shade under palm trees, listening to the sound of the surf



After soaking up the sand for a while, we go for a Thai massage Real Thai women do it, you can choose any massage, not necessarily a classic Thai one. For example, there is coconut or aloe vera, just relaxing with oils or sporty, in general, of your choice

After the massage, we hurry to watch the most beautiful Maldivian sunset, the one colorful, with fast-changing colors and images We take lots of souvenir photos and go to dinner After for dinner, when it gets completely dark, it's time for “glowing plankton” From -this rare phenomenon makes the ocean look like it's filled with stars. In the evening, during the breeding season, plankton approaches the shore, it resembles small bluish fluorescent bulbs. The largest clusters are visible even from space! I am sure that we will be able to see this phenomenon and enjoy a wonderful moment, adding another impression to our Maldivian piggy bank




Day 5. Let's rush with the breeze to the resort, the drummers show

8:00 — We have breakfast.


9:00 — We go to the resort island.

17:30 — We return fr om the resort and watch the sunset on our way to Thoddoo Island.

19:00 — Dinner.

20:30 — We will enjoy a colorful traditional drummers show.


A trip to a resort island with water houses, drummers show.

Today is a day of rest and relaxation after active days. After waking up and having breakfast, we head to the resort island. What is an island resort?

The Maldives consists of more than a thousand islands scattered in the azure of the Indian Ocean, and only a handful of them are inhabited. But inhabited islands also fall into two categories: luxurious resort islands, which are fully occupied by hotels wh ere the island has all the infrastructure (swimming pools, bars, playrooms, spas, fitness rooms, etc.), and local islands where locals live and ordinary tropical life flows. We are going to one of the resort islands for a day visit

.

After breakfast, we board a speedboat and race across the endless Indian Ocean. On the way, there is a chance to meet again a flock of dolphins and flying fish

.

Upon arrival at the resort, we are kindly greeted at the pier by the resort staff and show us all the sights. Then everyone has their own program: someone wants to swim and see a beautiful coral reef with lots of fish or “sip” a cocktail overlooking the ocean, read a book, take a million photos at the water houses or just “chill” in

the pool.

After enjoying the beauty and offers of the resort island, we head to our favorite Thoddoo Island at sunset. A view of the ocean from a speedboat before sunset... It's beautiful! A huge hot red sun meets the blue cold ocean. Five minutes and the sun went down below the horizon

.

When we

arrive on the island, we go to dinner. And after dinner, the Drummers Show awaits us. We will plunge into the colorful culture of the Maldives — fiery dances to the rhythms of traditional BODU BERU drums, the tropical atmosphere and the warmth of the hearts of local residents. This evening will definitely be remembered for a lifetime

.


Day 6. We ride on a sup on the ocean

7:00 — We snorkel on the ocean.


8:00 — We have breakfast.

10:00 — Let's go snorkeling with turtles and fish on our home reef.

13:30 — We have lunch.

18:00 — We admire the sunset, take photos at sunset in different locations on the island.

19:00 — We have dinner.

20:30 — We arrange gatherings around the campfire.


This morning is almost sporty here — let's spend a few calories on the SUP-board. The word “sup” comes from the English abbreviation SUP (stand up paddle), which means “stand-up paddle”. Sup boarding is called paddle boarding or stand-up paddle boarding. The SUP-board is a board that is mostly used to float while standing and is operated using a long adjustable paddle.

Boldly cutting through the perfectly turquoise waters, we sail on glanders to the reef surrounding the island and back. Along the way, we can meet sea turtles, colorful fish, and maybe even moray eels because the water is crystal

clear.

You can paddle while standing, sitting and even lying down, keeping your balance. It's great that the muscles of the whole body are turned on at this moment, even the stabilizer muscles. We will shoot our glanders with a drone to capture this wonderful moment and at the same time look at the beauty of the island from a bird's-eye view

.

After the “rides” on the glanders, we go to breakfast, rest for a while and hurry to the snorkeling we already know to take a couple more shots with the turtles under water.

After snorkeling, we will have a long-awaited lunch and rest. We only have one day left, so today we have time until dinner for your photo shoots. In the Maldives, wherever you go, you get amazing photos — on a palm tree, on a swing under a palm tree, at sunset, in a palm alley, in the rainforest and in a papaya grove. We enjoy it and take shots for our phone screensavers so that later, remembering pleasant moments, we can change them every day and

warm up with fond memories.

After a wonderful sunset, we rush to dinner, enjoy ourselves and go to the beach to light a fire. I know it's been a long time since you've been sitting around a campfire next to the ocean — it's a thrill. A pleasant sea breeze blows and refreshes, a hot fire warms you with warmth and crackling, coconut slowly turns into embers, you can hear the sound of the ocean and birds singing, the whole sky is covered with stars and the Milky Way is visible. The huge moon reminds us of night time and that it's time to share your vacation experiences and, of course, make wishes. But if we want to sing songs, we'll certainly take our guitar

with us.

Happy, smelling of fire, we head back to the hotel and getting ready for bed.


Day 7. we pay home with tropical fruits and souvenirs

8:00 — We have breakfast.
9:00 — Fruit shopping at a fruit tent on the beach.
10:00 — Let's go snorkeling on the home reef.
13:30 — We have lunch.
15:00 — We relax and enjoy the magnificent sunset.
19:00 — Dinner.


20:30 — Shopping in souvenir shops and walking to the ocean.

Today is our last day before departure, so after breakfast we head to the fruit tent to pick fruit and bring our families, family and friends some truly ripe and tasty fruit, and don't forget to grab, for example, a delicious Maldivian Bounty for our colleagues. It is made fr om coconut and honey and is carefully wrapped in a dried banana leaf. Believe me, everyone will be delighted with such a natural souvenir.

After the fruit shop, we traditionally go snorkeling with turtles and fish to our home reef to say goodbye to them soon. After swimming enough, we hurry to lunch and to the beach to “snatch” a little more of the gentle, warming sunlight, with plenty of room for the year ahead.

After a delicious dinner, after exchanging emotions and impressions about our vacation, we go to the gift shop, wh ere there is a wild variety of souvenirs: bracelets, clothes, paintings, plates, cups, pens, as well as figures of manta rays, sharks, rays made from various materials, handbags and much more.

After “shopping”, we walk around the island and say goodbye to the ocean, throwing a coin at it and making wishes that will come true, believe me. After the walk, we slowly pack our bags and relax. Tomorrow is a new day, a long flight and a return home.




Day 8. Bye bye Maldives, hello home sweet home!

We wake up early in the morning. A buggy is waiting for us to take us to the port. We sit down and race with the breeze across an island that has not yet woken up. At the port, just in time, a speedboat is waiting for us. We get into it and rush to the airport. Dolphins jump out of the water, compete with us in speed, and escort us home, sending us an air kiss with a wave of their

tail.

When we arrive at the airport, we go to check-in, have a coffee, stop by Duty Free and Maldivian souvenir shops, board a plane and send thousands of kisses to the Maldives.

Well, our journey is over. But the Maldives is waiting for you again. See you soon ❤️

I'm absolutely thrilled! Meeting Zoya is a gift from fate. Zoya is a person who shares her energy and creates harmony around her. I went to the all inclusive program in a state of extreme fatigue and with a lot of questions inside. I needed to be met and taken by the hand, “understood” and taken care of. And my expectations were met by 200%. Zoya takes care of her vacation and even more. She felt like a child in the village with her grandmother, who would take care of her and talk. I am grateful to fate for meeting Zoya and wish her great success in developing my business. Every person who needs care needs a meeting with her! Many thanks to Olya, who helps on the tour, the girls organize everything very harmoniously and share parts of their soul. The content of the tour is just a bomb! I saw and got the most out of this tour. If someone says there's nothing to do in the Maldives, that's not the case with Zoya at all. Sharks, manta rays, turtles, diving, the best beaches, the freedom to cycle around the island, socializing with girls, going to the resort, evening get-togethers... and much more. Toddoo Island, where you stay during your tour with Zoya, is better than any resort: you can see local life, try local cuisine, and the beaches on Toddoo are better than at the resorts, wide, with a remote reef, with turtles. I'm absolutely thrilled! I got the most out of it, and would love to visit Zoya again!
