Experience the vibrant culture, history and heritage of the southernmost atoll of the Maldives. Addu Atoll lies below the equator in the Southern Hemisphere and offers a unique opportunity to meet locals and experience life in this remote area. This experience is very different from the resort islands and hotels where travellers usually stay while in the Maldives.
Our guide/driver will pick you up from either your hotel / port / airport and drop you off at the same location or a location of your choice.
Discover the island of Gan, with a rich and unique history. Gan was formerly inhabited by locals and later served as a British Army base during the Second World War. Today, the island has a commercial airport and multiple businesses, while its historical sites remain preserved for sightseers.
After that move on to Feydhoo, part of Addu city where the airport connects to, with a rich and vibrant culture. You can find local eateries, shops and outlets along this island and get to meet and hear stories of the locals.
Next stop is Maradhoo Island, where some of the oldest historical monuments (mosques/graveyards) can be found. Similar to Feydhoo Island, this island is also inhabited and you get to meet the locals and check out how life goes around in this quaint area
Moving on to the heart and capital of Addu City and the largest island by comparison, Hithadhoo island consists of all the major governing offices of the area as well as some of the most unique attractions. One such would be a hospital that is literally built on a marshland/fresh water lake. Discover old sites, a nature park where you can kayak or snorkel, and traditional local hangout spots along the island’s beaches.
