Come and discover the 1,199 or so islands that make up the Maldives, a paradise destination. Located in the northern Indian Ocean, these islands are grouped into 26 atolls. During your 10-day cruise, you will sail and surf in the south of the archipelago, in the Huvadhoo atoll. Still little frequented, the place is ideal to catch the waves and explore the seabed in complete serenity. The local crew will also propose you other activities depending on your stopover (snorkeling, fishing, hiking...). The best season for surfing in the Maldives is from March to October.

Croisière surf aux maldives
Jean Yves
Aug 2023
11 jours de rêve entre sessions de surf, snorkeling avec la faune marine, baignades, navigation sur mer calme, bonne ambiance à bord etc…
Le personnel du bateau était aux petits soins, rien à redire sauf que les spots de surf, bien qu’accessibles par bateau pour la plupart, sont en fait très fréquentés ( parfois jusqu’à 35 personnes à l’eau…)
