Male Atoll, Meemu, Dhaal, Thaa and Laam Atolls – Maldives

→ Join this surf boat trip!

How to get there?

In order to get to the boat you will have to fly to Male, Maldives.

To get on the boat on time and leave to the Central Atolls on time, you will need to be in Malé before 12pm on October 28th. For the return you need to book a flight after 1pm on November 7th.

If you would like to arrive and depart a few days earlier/later to be able to settle in before the trip and chill down after, we recommend you to stay either in Himmafushi or Thulushdoo: both are close to Male (30min speed boat) and have quality surfing spots within walking distance!

Check-in on the boat is from 12pm on the 28th. Check-out is at 9am on the 7th.

Once you booked the surf trip, we will keep updated on the WhatsApp group chat!

If you need help or have any other questions just let us know.

What is not included?

  • A/R International flights to the Maldives (Male)
  • Surfboard rental is not included: we recommend bringing at least 2 surfboards (up to 8ft). If you cannot bring your own surfboard we recommend renting one here.
  • Alcohol and soft drinks available for purchase on board
  • A travel insurance is strongly recommended for this surf trip. If you don't have one, we can offer you our Allianz travel insurance. Just add it when booking your surf trip.

Surf conditions

The Maldives surf season goes from April to October. Waves are incredibly consistent and while in Summer it may get big and sometimes a bit wet, the shoulder season (October and November) brings good weather and more playful conditions for the intermediate surfer.

Since the Central Atolls take longer to reach, fewer boats operate in the area compared to the more crowded Male Atolls – which translates to fewer surfers in the line-up.

Since most surfers heading to the Central Atolls are usually interested in more advanced waves, this often leaves other more intermediate spots (but still world-class) completely empty. This is the perfect recipe for a week of scoring incredible waves and improving your surfing skills.
