The Maldives Atolls boast a wide variety of reefs filled with world-class waves.
The best way to the islands chain is via a boat trip, allowing you to score uncrowded perfection
and spend 10 days worrying about nothing except surfing and resting.
Choose between our unique Central Atolls group trip or join 10 days or an open boat from March to November.
Warm water. Endless atolls and ocean until the eye can see. Perfect waves rolling by empty. There's nowhere on earth like the Maldives and a boat trip in this surfers' paradise is a dream come true. Everything is taken care of and all you need to think about is surfing from sunrise to sunset.
We run a limited number of group boat trips during our favorite times of the year: April, July and October. Travel in April and October for milder waves and lower crowds, or in July to score consistent swells that turn on the best waves the Maldives has to offer → Discover more
We often hear from guests that 10 days of surfing in the Maldives gives them a progress boost equal to months at home. That's because of the consistent and repetitive waves, uncrowded lineups and group of supportive new friends in the water. You will spend multiple hours in the ocean every day, getting comfortable, repeating movements and pushing your limits.
We work with local guides with deep knowledge of the Maldives that will help us find the best waves for your level every day.
Maldives trips are only for autonomous surfers. As there are no Surf Lessons, you need to be an Intermediate or above surfer.

Shot over the course of these 10 days, this edit by our guest Felix features the unique waves and the vibes you can only experience when cruising across the Indian Ocean with a group of friends.
Every surf trip we take, it doesn’t matter where, the highlight is always the same: getting to know and becoming friends with different local people from all walks of life.Habeeb is one of those people we consider now friends.
A friendship slowly developed through endless hours cruising the Maldivian atolls together, various coffees and cigarettes in our favorite café in Muli and - after some convincing - some unforgettable mat sessions, sliding in the water together.
