About the Maldives ๐ด๐
A bucket-list paradise that most only dream about, the Maldives are scattered like jewels across the equator in the heart of the Indian Ocean. These gem-like islands deliver the ultimate vision of tropical blissโpalm-fringed beaches, turquoise lagoons, warm crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. The Maldives is not just a dream destination; itโs a playground for surfers, offering a stunning variety of world-class waves ready for exploration.
Made up of 1,192 islands across 26 coral atolls, the Maldives stretch 820 kilometres north to south and 120 kilometres east to west, with India and Sri Lanka as their closest neighbours. Itโs a place like no otherโalmost entirely ocean, where the highest point of land sits less than 10 feet above sea level. Picture a vast sea sprinkled with tiny coral islands resting atop an ancient volcanic range. Of these, only 202 islands are inhabited. With no hills, rivers, or significant tides, the Maldives is pure ocean bliss.

Boat Trip vs. Surf Resort ๐ฅ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
Whether you choose a boat-based or resort-based surf trip, hereโs what matters most: our itineraries, boats, and everything we do are specifically designed for Stand Up Paddle surfers. Onboard, you’ll be among friends who share your passion, with every detail catered to the SUP experience.
Why a Boat Trip Wins Every Time ๐ค๐
- Freedom and Flexibility: Our boat trips give us unrestricted access to all the best surf breaks, including those that are off-limits to land-based surfers. Chase the swell, avoid the crowds, and explore the Maldives at its finest.
- Discover More: A boat adventure allows you to see multiple atolls, uninhabited islands, and remote surf spots. Enjoy evenings by a bonfire on a deserted beach with a cold beer in hand after a perfect day of surfing.
- Seasick? Not Likely! Our yachts are big, stable, and anchored each night in calm, protected waters. Even our most seasickness-prone clients have been pleasantly surprised, experiencing minimal discomfort and leaving eager to embark on another voyage with us.
- Access to Prime Waves: While we skip the super-crowded North Malรฉ Atoll, weโll hit some great waves in South Malรฉ before heading to the Southern Central Atolls. With plenty of fuel, we have the range to cruise as far as Laamu Atoll on a 10-night charter or Meemu Atoll on a 7-night tripโguaranteeing the best waves based on the dayโs conditions.
Limitations of Land-Based Surf Resorts ๐๏ธ
Surf resorts are limited by location. For everything to alignโwind, swell, and tidesโluck needs to be on your side. Most resorts offer just one “private” wave, and access to other waves requires a speedboat or Dhoni trip, often with up to 30 surfers on that same break. Itโs a different game, with far less freedom to chase the best surf.
ย
Non-Surfing Partners Are Welcome! โค๏ธ๐น
Whether youโre travelling solo, with friends, family, or a partner, our tours are designed to entertain and pamper non-surfers while youโre off catching the waves of your life.
Whatโs not to love about cruising the Maldives on a luxury motor yacht? Picture yourself on the rooftop deck, soaking up the sun, with a cocktail in one hand and a book in the other. Too chill? No worriesโweโve got plenty to keep you busy:
- PADI Dive Guideย onboardย (qualified divers only)๐ ๐คฟย
- Inflatable paddleboards for lagoon exploration ๐
- Cooking classes with our onboard chef ๐จโ๐ณ
- Yoga mats and snorkel gear for ultimate relaxation ๐งโโ๏ธ๐
- Fishing, island hopping, and cultural interactions with locals ๐๏ธ๐ฃ
- In-room TVs, WIFI, and a library for your downtime ๐
- Beach clean-ups and sunset photography excursions ๐ธ๐
No matter what you choose, every moment onboard is an experience to remember. Our tours are about more than surfingโtheyโre about adventure, connection, and relaxation in one of the most breathtaking destinations on the planet.
Join us and experience the Maldives like never before!

Waves and Seasons in the Maldives ๐๐โโ๏ธ
Surfing in the Maldives has exploded in popularity in recent years, drawing surfers from around the world. The same powerful swells that light up Indonesia also make their way to the Maldives, though the waves here tend to be a bit more mellow due to the higher latitude and SE exposure. The Maldives is rapidly becoming a surfing hot spot, but with the right knowledge and guidance, you can still find yourself surfing empty lineups with just you and your matesโa rare and unforgettable experience.
The Three Main Surf Zones
1. North and South Malรฉ Atoll
- Surf Season: April to October (South-West Monsoons)
- Prime Swell Window: May to August (2 to 8 ft waves)
The North Malรฉ Atoll is the busiest surf zone in the Maldives. With a rise in land-based hostels and resorts catering to surfers, along with many boat charters focusing on this region, itโs not unusual to find 50 or more surfers on a single wave. North Malรฉ is ideal for budget-conscious travellers and swell chasers alike. When the swell is small, North Malรฉ can still deliver, acting as a swell magnet. But when the swell cranks, North Malรฉ transforms into a playground of deep barrels and intense reef breaks, with heavy hold-downs that demand respect.
South Malรฉ offers a quieter option as you journey further south, with fewer crowds but still great waves to explore.
ย
2. Central and Southern Central Atolls
- Best Time to Surf: April to October (Southern Hemisphere winter)
- Wave Size: 2 to 8 ft
This is our primary playground, where we focus most of our time. The waves in the Central and Southern Central Atolls are clean, long, and incredibly consistent. Throughout the southern winter, itโs rarelyย flat, with endless waves breaking across all wind and swell directions.
We canโt reveal the exact wave names here, but trust usโthis region is loaded with gems. The key to scoring these waves is boat access. With many of these breaks only reachable by water, youโll often find yourself surfing empty lineups, a dream for any SUP enthusiast.
ย
3. Deep South / Southern Atolls
- Best Time to Surf: February to April and September to November
- Waves: Always present, but fewer options for SUP
The Southern Atolls at the very bottom of the Maldives offer a more remote surf experience, though they come with challenges. While waves are present year-round, the winds can get strong outside of the prime windows. For SUP surfers, getting to these atolls isnโt easy, as local flights donโt accommodate SUP boards, and the wave conditions arenโt ideal for paddle surfing.
But no worriesโthereโs no need to venture that far south! The Central Atolls offer more SUP-friendly waves, along with plenty of variety to keep you stoked for the entire trip.
ย
Why Surf the Maldives with Us?
With our in-depth knowledge of the region and boat-based access to the best waves across multiple atolls, weโll ensure you score the best conditions possible. Forget about battling crowds. Our focus is on finding clean, uncrowded lineups tailored for SUP surfers. Whether you’re chasing long rides, perfect peelers, or exploring the hidden gems of the Central Atolls, this surf trip will leave you with memories for a lifetime.
The Maldives isnโt just about world-class waves. Itโs about freedom, adventure, and connection to the ocean.
7 Nights โ 8 Days vs. 10 Nights โ 11 Days
SUP Surf Adventure ๐๐โโ๏ธ
Day One โ Arrival Day โ๏ธ๐ค
Upon your arrival in the Maldives, youโll be greeted by a representative from Adora or Moon Tours right outside the international arrivals area. If you arrive the day before, there wonโt be a representative meeting you, but weโll guide you on your next steps.
At 10:00 am, weโll gather at Malรฉ Airport, right in front of Coffee Club / Burger Kingโitโs a small airport, so weโll be easy to spot! From there, youโll board the Adora to begin your adventure.
โ ๏ธ Important: If you canโt arrive before 12:30 pm on Day One, youโll need to arrive the day before and overnight in Malรฉ or Hulhumalรฉ. Youโll also need to arrange your own transfer to and from the airport, but weโre happy to assist. Check out our FAQs for recommended accommodation options.
Typical 8-Day Tour ๐๏ธ
On this itinerary, we typically explore the Meemu Atoll.ย if the conditions call for it. This route includes some of our favourite wavesโperfect for those on a tighter schedule but still looking for an incredible experience.
Typical 11-Day Tour ๐
With extra days, we have the chance to venture further south and stay longer at each spot, giving you more time to surf and explore. If the conditions align, weโll cruise as far as Laamu Atoll, maximising your wave count and delivering the best possible experience.
What to Expect on Your SUP Surf Adventure ๐โโ๏ธ๐ค
Our SUP surf trips start and end in Malรฉ Harbour, close to some of the nationโs most famous waves in the North Malรฉ Atoll. However, since these waves are often crowded with surfers from land-based resorts, hostels, and other charters, we typically avoid this area. Expect names like Jailbreaks, Sultans, Cokes, Ninjas, Honky’s, and private resort waves like Pastor Point.
Instead, we focus on the central and southern central atolls, which offer fuller, uncrowded waves ideal for SUP surfers. These boat-only accessible breaks provide long, clean rides perfect for SUPs, with just the right amount of size to remain rippable on a foil. There are some heavier barrel waves in the region, but our priority is SUP-friendly surfโthis trip is all about fun, smooth rides rather than heavy slams.
Flexibility is Key ๐ฌ๏ธโต
We believe that a surf trip should be fluidโnot locked into rigid schedules or distances. Our tours are built to flow with Mother Nature, following the best swell and wind conditions. We stay flexible right up to the last minute, adapting throughout the trip to get you on the best waves.
With a generous fuel and mileage allowance, we have the luxury to travel farther than most standard charters, taking you away from the crowds and into the heart of the best surf spots. Our outstanding boat, experienced crew, local surf guide, and Moon Tours representatives know the region inside out, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
The Last Day โ Departure ๐ซ
Currently, depending on the group, airport transfer is typically scheduled for around 9 a.m., based on the most common departing flight times. Occasionally, we can arrange a later transfer if it suits the majority of flights. If you’d prefer not to take the group transfer, there’s usually the option to stay on the boat for the day (for an additional charge) and arrange a private transfer later.
For safe flight scheduling, any flights departing after 1:00 pm will work perfectly. In some cases, a late checkout of the yacht might be available, giving you a bit more time to soak in the last moments of paradise.
If youโd like to catch an earlier flight, we can arrange a private speedboat transfer. This option costs approximately USD $200. Alternatively, a water taxi may be available for $50, depending on our final nightโs location.
Get ready for unparalleled SUP surf adventures, uncrowded waves, and freedom to explore the Maldives like never before. Whether you’re with us for 8 days or 11 days, every moment will be filled with surf, fun, and unforgettable memories! ๐๐น

Join us for the ultimate Maldives escapeโwhere surfing isnโt required, but fun is guaranteed! ๐โจ
The Maldives is renowned for its pristine beaches and turquoise waters, but itโs 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 worldโs most sought-after dive destinations. With water temperatures a steady 27ยฐC to 28ยฐC 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 youโre 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. ๐๐ ๐
Fishing has long been the lifeblood of island nations, and the Maldives is no exceptionโwidely 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)โfor 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 luresโbecause out here, the big ones are waiting. ๐ฃ๐๐
We have a couple of inflatable SUPs available for guests to use free of chargeโperfect for a flat-water paddle, some exercise, or just fun off the back of the boat. ๐โโ๏ธ๐
Please note: Inflatable SUPs in the Maldives take a beating. With the intense sun and heat, weโve seen failures across multiple brands. While we aim to have them ready for your use, if they sustain damage and become unusable, itโs unlikely weโll 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! โ๏ธ๐ค
Inhabited Local Islands ๐ด๐โโ๏ธ
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 ๐๏ธ๐
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.
Thereโs no need to bring money hereโbikinis 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. โ๏ธ๐น
Weโve got yoga mats onboard that youโre 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. ๐๐
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; itโs a flavour-packed experience you won’t forget! ๐ถ๏ธ๐ฅ
Bring your cameraโbecause in the Maldives, itโs nearly impossible to take a bad photo. Whether youโre snapping turquoise waters, palm-fringed islands, vibrant sunsets, or capturing the bright culture and friendly locals, youโll 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 anglesโthe surfers will thank you for it! ๐๐โโ๏ธ
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 partnerโpure bliss in paradise. ๐ ๐ฝ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
Resort day passes range from $50 to $200 USD, depending on the resort and whatโs 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 luxuryโbecause you deserve it! ๐ฅ๐ด
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 youโd 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 Malรฉ. 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. ๐โ๏ธ
Dining & Drinks ๐ฝ๏ธโ๐น
Meals, Snacks & Refreshments ๐ฅ๐๐
Enjoy three delicious meals a day prepared by our talented chefs. You’ll also be treated to pre- and post-surf snacks to keep your energy high. If youโre ever still hungry, just let us know, weโll whip up something extra for you!
