7 Nights – 8 Days vs. 10 Nights – 11 Days
SUP Surf Adventure 🌊🏄♂️
Day One – Arrival Day ✈️🚤
Upon your arrival in the Maldives, you’ll be greeted by a representative from Adora or Moon Tours right outside the international arrivals area. If you arrive the day before, there won’t be a representative meeting you, but we’ll guide you on your next steps.
At 10:00 am, we’ll gather at Malé Airport, right in front of Coffee Club / Burger King—it’s a small airport, so we’ll be easy to spot! From there, you’ll board the Adora to begin your adventure.
⚠️ Important: If you can’t arrive before 12:30 pm on Day One, you’ll need to arrive the day before and overnight in Malé or Hulhumalé. You’ll also need to arrange your own transfer to and from the airport, but we’re happy to assist. Check out our FAQs for recommended accommodation options.
Typical 8-Day Tour 🗓️
On this itinerary, we typically explore the Meemu Atoll. if the conditions call for it. This route includes some of our favourite waves—perfect for those on a tighter schedule but still looking for an incredible experience.
Typical 11-Day Tour 🌊
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, we’ll cruise as far as Laamu Atoll, maximising your wave count and delivering the best possible experience.
What to Expect on Your SUP Surf Adventure 🏄♀️🚤
Our SUP surf trips start and end in Malé Harbour, close to some of the nation’s most famous waves in the North Malé 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 surf—this trip is all about fun, smooth rides rather than heavy slams.
Flexibility is Key 🌬️⛵
We believe that a surf trip should be fluid—not 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 – Departure 🛫
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 you’d 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 night’s 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! 🌊🍹
