The Maldives is renowned for its pristine beaches and turquoise waters, but it’s the vibrant marine life beneath the surface that truly sets it apart. Known among divers as a hidden gem, the Maldives offers stunning coral reefs and an abundance of marine creatures that make it one of the world’s most sought-after dive destinations. With water temperatures a steady 27°C to 28°C year-round, every dive is comfortable and awe-inspiring. Onboard, our dive masters and instructor provide the opportunity to complete a try dive or full dive course in paradise. Certified divers can enjoy unlimited exploration with the support of a Nitrox-equipped Dhoni, while those who prefer to snorkel can join a guided snorkelling tour led by our expert crew. Snorkelling equipment is provided free of charge, and any diving activities or courses can be conveniently paid for at checkout. Whether you’re diving deep or staying near the surface, the Maldives’ warm waters, incredible marine life, and professional crew ensure every moment in the ocean will be unforgettable. 🌊🐠🌅

Fishing has long been the lifeblood of island nations, and the Maldives is no exception—widely regarded as one of the ‘fishiest’ places on the planet. While pelagic species are often the prime targets, the reefs and shallows are teeming with exciting game fish that will test your skills. Expect fierce encounters with Bonefish, Barracuda, Grouper, Snapper, and the king of fish, the Giant Trevally (GT)—for which heavy-duty gear is a must if you plan on hauling these beasts onto the boat.

Cruise the deep blue waters along the outer reefs, where Yellowfin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, Dolphin Fish, Wahoo, Sailfish, and Marlin roam. With the freedom to fish from all three boats and the enthusiastic support of our crew, anglers can fully embrace the thrill of fishing these bountiful waters. If you’re serious about your fishing game, bring a solid rod and plenty of your favourite lures—because out here, the big ones are waiting. 🎣🐟🌊

We have a couple of inflatable SUPs available for guests to use free of charge—perfect for a flat-water paddle, some exercise, or just fun off the back of the boat. 🏄‍♂️🌊

Please note: Inflatable SUPs in the Maldives take a beating. With the intense sun and heat, we’ve seen failures across multiple brands. While we aim to have them ready for your use, if they sustain damage and become unusable, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to repair them during the trip. We appreciate your understanding and will do our best to keep them available for as long as possible! ☀️🚤

Inhabited Local Islands 🌴🏃‍♂️

Step ashore and explore the charm of a local island with a relaxing walk or run. Most islands are small and easy to navigate, featuring sandy roads and tracks that can be circled in 20-30 minutes. Be sure to bring a water bottle and a few dollars, just in case you want to grab a snack or souvenir from a local store.

To respect the local Muslim culture, women should dress modestly, covering their shoulders and knees.

Uninhabited Islands 🏝️📚

Enjoy some downtime on a deserted, palm-fringed island, where you can stretch your legs with a beach stroll or run. Lay back in the sand with a good book, or do your part by collecting any plastic bottles that have washed ashore.

There’s no need to bring money here—bikinis and alcoholic beverages are welcome on uninhabited islands. Just remember to stay hydrated and bring a water bottle to keep cool under the tropical sun. ☀️🍹

Movies 🎥🍿

Adora offers fully air-conditioned lounges with large flat-screen TVs, as well as in-room TVs for your personal enjoyment. Each TV is connected to an onboard entertainment system, showcasing a variety of movies and music. We also have a hard drive pre-loaded with movies—but feel free to bring your own USB loaded with your favourites to watch in your cabin.

Books 📚🔄

Our small onboard library offers a selection of books and games to enjoy during your downtime. We also encourage book swaps, so feel free to trade a book you’ve finished for something new.

Games 🎲🃏

There’s always something fun to play on Adora! Our selection includes board games, playing cards, and Moon Tours favourites like Uno and Monopoly Deal. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick game or an epic showdown, there’s always friendly competition to be found on deck.

We’ve got yoga mats onboard that you’re welcome to use anytime. Stretch, bend, and find your flow wherever it feels right, whether it’s soaking up the gentle breeze on the rooftop sundeck (with options for sun or shade) or in the comfort of the air-conditioned lounge or your cabin.

Take a moment to relax, recharge, and connect, the perfect way to balance out all the excitement on your Maldives adventure. 🌊🌞

Our chef invites you into the kitchen for a hands-on experience learning how to create delicious local Maldivian dishes. Get ready to master fragrant curries, soft roti bread, and the art of fresh fish preparation.

Discover the secrets behind Maldivian spice blends that will have your taste buds dancing and bring a piece of the Maldives back to your kitchen. This is more than just a class; it’s a flavour-packed experience you won’t forget! 🌶️🥘

Bring your camera—because in the Maldives, it’s nearly impossible to take a bad photo. Whether you’re snapping turquoise waters, palm-fringed islands, vibrant sunsets, or capturing the bright culture and friendly locals, you’ll find endless inspiration to keep you engaged for hours.

Beneath the surface, marine life bursts with colour and variety, making underwater photography a must.

For adventurous photographers, surf and action shots offer another challenge. Try capturing surfers from the beach or surf boat, or if you have a waterproof camera and strong swimming skills, jump in and catch those epic in-water angles—the surfers will thank you for it! 🌊🏄‍♂️

Depending on our itinerary, there may be an opportunity to purchase a day pass and enjoy the luxuries of a private resort. Treat yourself to a relaxing massage, lounge by the pool, or savour a romantic private dinner with your partner—pure bliss in paradise. 🌅🍽️💆‍♀️

Resort day passes range from $50 to $200 USD, depending on the resort and what’s included. Availability is subject to our cruising schedule and the resort’s policies at the time.

Take a break from adventure and immerse yourself in ultimate luxury—because you deserve it! 🥂🌴

We love arranging visits to local primary schools or kindergartens, offering a wonderful way to meet the community and immerse yourself in the friendly, happy culture of the Maldives. These visits are often a highlight, providing meaningful connections with teachers and children.

If you’d like to make a donation, the kids and teachers are always grateful for sporting equipment such as tennis rackets, soccer balls, crayons, and pencils.

We encourage guests to buy supplies locally, either from a nearby island or in Malé. Not only does this support local businesses, but it also saves you the hassle of carrying items from home. Small gestures like these go a long way in making a positive impact. 🏀✏️
