Gulhi Village Island Tour

Spend free time on beach-blessed Gulhi, a teeny coral atoll in the Indian Ocean that proves good things come in small packages. About 1,000 people inhabit this idyllic sliver of sand, many of them supporting themselves in traditional ways. The residents fish and process their catch, make handicrafts out of natural materials, and build boats that are used for various purposes. While walking about, you can expect to see fishing boats that typically catch tuna, grouper and the oddly named squirrelfish, a colorful species with spiny fins and rough, prickly scales. You might also see other people making coconut-leaf thatching. Life on Gulhi is wonderfully simple and best expressed through your time at the beach. You will be free to do whatever you please, including swimming in the turquoise seas, basking in the sun while stretching out on the sand and meandering along the coast in the gentle surf.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Cruise to tiny Gulhi Island and spend time relaxing on one of the beaches.
• Meander through the island’s village and observe an authentic slice of life in the Maldives.
• Do whatever you like during free time with no reason to rush or schedule to follow.
