An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

The first part of the route takes you through natural habitats to reach a magnificent view of Mount Teide — the highest point of Tenerife.

Discover La Gomera by Jeep
Roam over the little island of La Gomera by jeep on a full-day exploration of the Canaries’ second smallest island. You’ll be collected from your hotel or a point nearby and head to the ferry port for the hour-long crossing over Atlantic waters to San Sebastián de La Gomera. You’ll join a caravan of jeeps to visit the fascinating features of the island, including Garajonay National Park. Your tour includes lunch in a local restaurant where you can taste the local favourites.

Scenic Catamaran Cruise
Set sail for a half-day exploration aboard a glorious catamaran cruise departing from Playa de la Américas. Departing from the Puerto Colón marina in the south of Tenerife, you’ll sail northwest in search of pilot whales and dolphins found all year round in these waters. Then you’ll head towards the coast to swim in the island's crystalline waters and pause for drinks and snacks. There’s time to appreciate the immensity of the Los Gigantes Cliffs, which measure up to 600 meters in altitude, one of the highest in Europe. Finally, you’ll call at the Bay of Masca one of the most picturesque spots on the island. • Duration: half day • Daily departures from Puerto Colon Marina • Operates year-round • Group experience

Tenerife Island Tour
• Duration: full day • Time: 8am to 6pm • Departs on Mondays • Operates year-round • Group experience

Discover Teide by Jeep
Spend a morning on a guided jeep safari through lands forged by nature and discover first-hand what it means to live on the slopes of a volcano — the mighty Mount Teide. You’ll travel comfortably but adventurously by jeep to one of the least-known corners of southern Tenerife. You’ll visit small villages such as Vilaflor, the highest village on the island, and see how they’ve learned how to live on the sides of a dormant volcano. • Duration: half day • Time: 9am to 1.30pm • Departs Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday • Operates year-round • Group experience

Explore Mount Teide and Masca
Dedicate a day to exploring Tenerife’s looming Mount Teide and visiting the pretty village of Masca. You’ll board a panoramic bus that allows 360-degree through its windows as you travel, beginning the day with a morning in Masca, reached by a winding and scenic road. There’s time to appreciate the dramatic gorge and palm trees which extend to the sea and the pretty houses here. The next destination is the National Park of Las Cañadas del Teide, a UNESCO World Heritage Site incorporating the highest mountain peak in Spain, Mount Teide. Otherworldly landscapes with volcanic lava formations and local vegetation surround the peak, and you’ll see the volcanoes that formed this island, some as old as Tenerife itself. You’ll have the option to ride the cable car to the volcano’s highest point. On the way back, you’ll stop at Vilaflor – the highest village in Tenerife. • Duration: full day • Time: 9am to 6pm • Daily departures • Operates year-round • Group experience

Questions? Sorted.
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
