Other Activities
Snorkelling
Slip on a snorkelling mask and a pair of fins and head to the 15-metre drop-off zone at the edge of our house reef. There, discover vibrant coral walls inhabited by small sharks and colourful schools of fish, turtles, and rays. Our resident marine biologist can help you identify the array of aquatic life on guided trips, departing day and night, and explain the significance of our coral line projects and other underwater initiatives.
Surfing with Tropicsurf
Ideally located in the North Malé atoll, our resort puts guests within easy access of some of the best surf breaks in the country. Tropical water temperatures, consistent swells, and light crowds only add to the appeal. We’ve teamed up with the experienced instructors at luxury surf company Tropicsurf to offer an array of lessons and surf trips, tailored to guests of all experience levels, from beginners and intermediate surfers to expert wave warriors.
Excursions
Picture gliding through turquoise waters as hundreds of resident spinner dolphins swim by. Or reeling in large tuna and billfish as an experienced captain and crew cheer you on. At Gili Lankanfushi, we offer an extensive range of guided excursions for guests looking to explore what lies beyond our resort. Discover the markets, mosques, and minarets of Maldives’ capital city, Malé. Take a trip to Bodu Huraa, a tiny local island situated 20 minutes north of the resort, to meet with locals and stock up on handmade souvenirs. And sail through turquoise waters on a 14-metre Riviera yacht.
Watersports
Name your adventure, whether it’s windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, catamaran sailing, or paddle-boarding—we offer it! Our blue lagoon is the perfect place to hone your moves, gain speed, and witness a dazzling underwater display of colourful aquatic life and healthy reefs. Need a lesson? We’re happy to help you brush up your skills. If you crave more motion in the ocean, we can also arrange wakeboarding, water skiing, tubing, and private speed boat adventures.
