There are a select few countries in the world that offer the kind of tranquillity that The Maldives provides. Set in the centre of the Indian Ocean, this island nation is a tropical archipelago. Pristine sandy beaches and turquoise lagoons characterize this Asian vacation favourite. Hop on a snorkeling, sandbank and sunset cruise tour in Maldives to get a glimpse of its natural beauty.

Malé, the capital city of The Maldives is home to its main international airport. While this island is mostly inhabited by the local Maldivians, you can get by with some basic English. However, you also have the choice of learning Dhivehi – local language of The Maldives , if you are keen to form a deeper bond with the islanders.

Home to Velana International Airport , the public island of Malé is one of 200 local islands where the locals live and work. The most common way to get around the countless little islands of The Maldives is to take a public ferry or a speed boat or even dhonis – traditional Maldivian wooden boats . However, the quickest mode of transport is seaplane. While seaplane rides are very expensive, domestic flights across various atolls and islands are a tad bit more affordable.

Malé is the starting point of a number of exciting day tours. Sign up for a full day Malé City walking tour to discover this place better. If you wish to explore the waters, choose from an array of scuba diving, snorkeling and fishing tours offered by Samudra Maldives .

What is Snorkeling?

At the forefront of various water-based activities to do in Maldives , snorkeling introduces you to the marine biodiversity of the Indian Ocean through a peek into the surface of the waters. This water sport requires that the participant comes kitted out with appropriate snorkeling gear. A snorkel and a breathing pipe with a mouthpiece are the most basic accessories one needs.

It is not even necessary to know swimming to be able to snorkel. As long as you can walk comfortably on the seafloor and keep your snorkel-covered eyes under the water surface, you will be able to enjoy the gorgeous views of the corals and vibrant fish on the reef with our Maldives snorkeling tours .

For advanced snorkelers, fins are also recommended for swimming in the high seas where the currents can be strong. However, beginners can snorkel on the house reef of most private and public islands where wave breakers ensure safety from strong currents. Those who struggle to breathe with the mouth can use modern snorkeling masks which cover the entire face and let you breathe through the nose.

What is a Sandbank?

Unlike islands, sandbanks are not always permanent and cannot be guaranteed to have a dedicated location. Interspersed amongst 1,200 odd islands in The Maldives are stretches of sandy land which are only partially visible to the naked eye. These are called sandbanks.

Partly submerged, sandbanks set the mood for a romantic getaway from your already private island resort in the equatorial archipelago. Depending on the shape of the sandbank, they are also known as sand bars and sand strips. Generally without a name, sandbanks are nice recreational areas to relax and tune out of the city chaos while on a vacation.

Snorkeling, Sandbank and Sunset Cruise Tour Timings & Fee

The half day snorkeling, sandbank and sunset cruise tour commences at 2 PM and lasts for 4 hours, coming to a close at 6 PM, which is well after sunset for The Maldives. Since the tour is organized every day of the week, it is possible to book as per your convenience.

The snorkeling, sandbank and sunset cruise tour is priced at USD 160 per adult. Kids below the age of 5 years travel for free. However, older children between the ages of 6 years and 12 years are charged only half the rate for adults, which is USD 80 per person. The tour fee includes all local Maldivian taxes which are a 16% GST and a service charge of 10%.

Half Day Snorkeling, Sandbank and Sunset Cruise Experience

A perfect blend of the ocean, a beach and the natural sunset, this is one of the best Maldives half day tours . The excursion also allows you to learn a new skill in case you are not familiar with snorkeling. Balanced in the adventure and relaxation elements it provides, the snorkeling, sandbank and sunset cruise trip should not be missed. The tour unfolds as outlined below.

Coordinated Pickup

  The meeting point for the half day snorkeling, sandbank and sunset cruise tour is the HulhuMalé main jetty which is close to the ferry terminal. Hotel collection can be arranged at prior notice, especially if your hotel is in Malé or HulhuMalé . In case you wish to be picked up from a different island, a cruise tender jetty pickup is available on special request.

The journey will be on a private speed boat, unless specified otherwise. The journey to the first stop, a secluded sandbank, will take approximately 40 to 45 minutes from Malé, the world’s smallest capital .

Safety Briefing

As you cruise through the Indian Ocean, with the waves frothing behind you and leaving a white trail on the water, you will be given your buoyancy aids. Life jackets are mandatory for tourists in The Maldives who whiz past in speed boats. The tour guide for the snorkeling, sandbank and sunset cruise trip will brief you on the things to take care of to ensure your safety on the waters.

Guidance on Responsible Snorkeling

The Maldives pays great care to environmental conservation, and responsible snorkeling is an important part of their eco-tourism initiatives. You will be mesmerized by the crystal clear lagoons and colourful coral columns that have made this country so popular with divers.

To maintain the serenity of the marine ecosystem and avoid stressing out the marine life, there are certain best practices which are told to every participant on the snorkeling, sandbank and sunset cruise tour. Since your first stop is a sandbank, you will have the opportunity to snorkel on its house reef. Try not to squeeze or poke any of the soft corals, starfish or other sea creatures to avoid causing them harm or stress.

Sunbathing on a Sandbank

  When the boat docks some distance away from the deserted sandbank , you will get your cue to jump into the shallow water and stride over to the shimmering white sandbank. You will be provided with a sun umbrella to keep you cool in the Maldivian afternoon sun, which can be pretty strong.

You are free to sunbathe or go snorkeling near the sandbank. If you have always wanted to get a tan, bring along your tanning lotion that you can spray on to ensure a uniform bronze on your body. Those who are looking to escape the sweltering heat can carry some sunscreen lotion in gel form to keep their skin calm.

Snorkeling Site Visits

  After relaxing on the sandbank, you will next be taken to a couple of snorkeling sites in Maldives . These dive sites are not always pre-decided as the final selection depends on the weather and visibility. Snorkeling is best done on a clear day when the chances of rain are slim and the winds are not too strong.

The speedboat will stay anchored in the middle of the ocean while your snorkeling guide jumps into the water and encourages you to do the same. You will be given sanitized snorkels, wind pipes and fins but you can use your own in case you are more comfortable in your personal gear.

The experienced guides are also spotters who will show you where to look and what to spot. If you are not a swimmer, the guide will give you a buoyancy aid which you can hold while he helps you navigate through the ocean waves.

There are many exciting fish, sea plants and coral reefs that you can expect to see on the two snorkeling dives. Look out for the popular clown fish, tiny schooling fish, starfish, stingrays, manta rays, and most importantly, both hard and soft corals. You might also spot some turtles if you are lucky.

Dolphin Spotting on a Sunset Cruise

  After the final dive, it will be time for sunset, and also a signal for you to return to HulhuMalé Island . However, unlike the onward cruise, the return journey has a couple of special things about it. You will not only be able to relish the stunning Maldivian sunset from the ocean , but also catch some playful dolphins travelling with their pods in the horizon. It is hard to miss the rhythm and coordination of these water mammals that always leap out of the sea for oxygen.

There are several other day tours in The Maldives that let you experience something unique about this country on each trip. If you do not wish to mix things up, you can take the 3-point snorkeling tour and the 6-hour sandbank trip separately. Whatever be your preference, the country has something to suit your taste!

Private Sandbank Picnic Maldives Style – A Unique Experience

Home > Maldives

The Maldives are home to plenty of sandbanks – large and small. While they are often not possible to reach on your own, the majority of the resorts in the Maldives offer a private sandbank picnic Maldives style or even dinner. Our picnic was organized by Fushifaru , a beautiful 5-star resort that opened its doors in October 2017. Fushifaru Maldives sits between two channels that connect the inner lagoon to the vast Indian Ocean.

Sandbank Picnic Maldives

Booking & price.

The island earned its reputation as an extraordinary underwater world, which now also boasts with 49 beautifully designed luxury villas . Fushifaru is also only a 5-minute boat ride away from a beautiful sandbank. In this article, you’ll be able to find out everything you know about booking a private sandbank experience.

You can book a private sandbank experience directly at the resort you’re staying at. At Fushifaru they have a very convenient way of communicating with their guests – via WhatsApp. I booked this experience as a surprise for my boyfriend Mikael, so I really appreciated that I could keep it a secret and not need to worry about sneaking away to the reception or make calls from the villa.

No time to read now?

No worries! Save on Pinterest to read it later.

The private sandbank experience is not as costly as it may appear, but it will depend on the perks you want. I paid around $120 USD for an afternoon (approximately 3 hours) at the sandbank. This price included picnic-style food, a bottle of wine and transport. Bear in mind that champagne is more expensive and will set you back for at least $95 USD (plus taxes) for a big bottle.

How to get to the sandbank

We went to the reception of our resort and once our boat ride arrived, we boarded. After a 5 minute ride from the main island, we made it to our very own private sandbank. We really couldn’t believe our eyes at how magical it was. Nothing but the waves hitting the soft sand and the sun shining over our heads. We took the drone out to take some shots while we waited for the food to arrive. And the food arrived in style! The little boat dropped off wine, food, water and some sweet baked goods. A perfect basket of goodies for a romantic private sandbank picnic in the Maldives.

What to do at the sandbank

Well, besides eating and drinking your heart out, there are plenty of things you can do with your time on the sandbank. We took lots of photos, swam, strolled around and swung in the hammock. Time will definitely fly by while you’re enjoying this experience, so make sure you make the most of it by just being there and relaxing. Fushifaru has two different booking options for the sandbank, morning and afternoon. I decided to book the afternoon slot, so we could watch the sunset here.

Fushifaru is an amazing Maldivian resort & also organized this sandbank picnic for us!

Fushifaru Maldives – A Gorgeous Private Island Resort

We watched the sky change colors from orange to pink and all the way to purple. Booking the private sandbank picnic was a dream come true and a truly unique way to experience the Maldives.

Hey Roderick! Yes, they first dropped us off so we can settle in and a few minutes after that they delivered the wine and picnic food. Then we were completely alone for 3 hours! So you can anything you want :) Haha, wink wink :D

Sandbank Trips in Maldives

To visitors to the Maldives, the unassuming patches of the purest white sand that are dotted throughout the Maldivian territory might be hardly worth a mention. But the closer one looks at these beautiful aquatic dunes of sand, the more one would become mesmerized by its subtle beauty and almost mysterious nature. Untouched by modernity, there is nothing humble about the exquisite scenery of the sandbanks. A feast for the eyes, its untamed beauty will live up to the expectations of the guests, surrounded by nothing except pure white sand.

The sandbanks are of many shapes and sizes. One feature that all these sandbanks have in common is it’s sandy and barren, treeless surface. These small islands of sand are scattered throughout the seas surrounding the main islands and can be used for anything that the imagination allows you to do. Whether it’s to take a break from an exciting adventure or a simple, romantic excursion over the ocean, the sandbank Trips Maldives offer thrills for the curious and solitude for wanderers.

Like the weather, the sandbanks are in a state of constant change. The ocean moves and recreates the sandbanks according to its will, making the banks an evolving organism of mystery and timeless beauty. Travellers can spend 3 magical hours wading in the shore, soaking up the sun, sand and the turquoise waters. Awaiting you are refreshments and a selection of tropical fruit under a shady beach umbrella to make your sandbank experience even more enjoyable.

Do you want to feel like a billionaire even for a couple of hours? Booking a sandbank excursion will let you experience how owning your own private space will feel. You can enjoy much more than simply a day at the beach in The Maldives if you spend the entire day lounging on a sandbank. Every stage of this excursion, from the pickup to the return trip, has something to offer. The exhilaration of enjoying the utmost privacy while being on a little sandbank in the Maldives, surrounded by crystal clear waters and a coral reef. Private picnic and dining, snorkelling, endless photo op, swimming, sunbathing, and strolling - even an overnight stay, are possible activities in a sandbank. Because most, if not all, sandbanks are just sandy, barren, and tree-less surfaces of land, one should be at the mercy of sunblock, sunscreen, hats, or beach umbrellas. Some resorts offering sandbank excursions are Hurawalhi Island Resort, Adaaran Prestige Vadoo, Dusit Thani. If you are on a budget, more affordable selections can be found in Maafushi, Kuramathi, and Fushifaru islands.

Hi Freya, It depends on your resort. Couple of hundreds of USD to several, sometimes 1000 or more. Prices also depend on the all concept too ( food, drinks, butler or not, chef or not, transportation…).

Sandbank trip Maldives

Sandbank is literally paradise on earth, an oasis of calm and beauty that can be found in the middle of the sea. It creates a perfect combination between amazing nature and a wonderful panorama. You will arrive here by boat and forget all your worries, because this isolated sand spit will make you feel like you are on a private island.

We will be happy to arrange a trip to the most beautiful sandbanks for you. We can also arrange a wedding ceremony, a romantic dinner with a proposal or another romantic celebration on the sandbank.

What is a sandbank?

Sandbank is a small sandy island in the middle of the ocean. Most sandbanks are formed only at low tide. At high tide, they hide under the water surface. The size of the sandbank is usually only a few tens of meters in length and a few meters in width.

Additional information

Leave the jetty of Diani Beach and head for an amazing sandbank in the Indian Ocean. Here you get to admire the clear blue sea and enjoy the beautiful view of Diani Beach from this stretch of sand that only becomes an island at low tide.

During low tide the sand forms a tiny but paradisiac island, right in the open sea. Depending on what time the tide is low, you either leave in the morning or in the afternoon. Enjoy being surrounded by infinite water, soak in the sun, snorkel, swim and feel free!

During this trip you travel to the sandbank on board of a traditional wooden sailboat called ngalawa, which totally depends on the wind for its speed. Once on the sandbank you can rest and of course enjoy the shallow blue waters around the sandbank. An amazing experience, but make sure to put on lots of sunscreen!

Dive Into the Caribbean’s 15 Best Snorkeling Havens

Posted: March 6, 2024 | Last updated: March 6, 2024

Are you an avid thrill seeker looking to explore life under the sea? One of the highlights of a Caribbean vacation is enjoying the sights that live under the water. Next time you think about spending a week on a cruise or lounging on the beach, check out these spots for breathtaking snorkeling excursions.

1. De Palm Island, Aruba

De Palm Island is the gem of Aruba for snorkeling enthusiasts. The island is a private resort with world-class dining and stunning beaches, but the natural beauty lies under the water. Just offshore is a shallow reef allowing beginner snorkelers to catch glimpses of the beautiful parrotfish in as little as three feet of water. Enjoy a solo swim or join a group tour; this will surely be a highlight of your vacation.

2. Bonaire National Marine Park, Bonaire

Bonaire is a famous spot for scuba divers from all over the world. Luckily, you don’t need an oxygen tank to enjoy its underwater life. The island has over 6,700 acres of explorable waters, home to more than 300 species of fish and endangered sea turtles. To spot these beautiful creatures, book a tour of the sandbanks too far offshore for swimming.

3. Caracas Bay, Curaçao

Just a few hours away from Bonaire is the island of Curaçao. Head on over to Caracas Bay for some fantastic snorkeling adventures. One of the coolest sites is a well-preserved sunken tugboat. Snorkelers can get up close and personal with this sunken ship covered in reefs, crabs, and other sea life.

4. Cozumel National Marine Park, Mexico

Snorkelers, scuba divers, and freedivers can spend all day diving in Cozumel National Marine Park waters. The site has many sandy bottom sights with multiple schools of migrating fish. If you ever tire of underwater life, the site is also home to Mayan Ruins and a world-class resort and spa.

5. Turtle Bay, Barbados

Imagine coming home and being able to tell the story of diving with 100-year-old sea turtles. That’s exactly what you will get when you snorkel in the waters of Turtle Bay. The bay is a natural feeding area, so tourists will likely be able to watch these majestic animals wad in the shallow waters. Take advantage of making this magical memory if you plan to visit the Caribbean.

6. Sapphire Beach, St. Thomas

Sapphire Beach is a fantastic tourist spot due to its relaxing sandy beaches and excellent snorkeling opportunities. Just 50 feet offshore, there is a reef and grassy bottom home to many species of fish, sea turtles, sea rays, and nurse sharks. Don’t worry—the sharks may look dangerous, but they’re harmless.

7. Buck Island, St. Croix

The snorkeling on Buck Island is so special that the United States made it a National Monument protected by the Parks Department. A famous trail follows the Carribean coral reef, where plaques share information about the surrounding environment. The course brings you to beautiful underwater caverns and caves made by these colorful coral reefs that will leave you and your crew in complete awe.

8. Creole Rock, St. Maarten

Creole Rock is an island completely encompassed by an intricate coral reef. The reef attracts many tourists looking to catch a glimpse of life underwater. Here, you can find hundreds of fish and the many predators that prey on them. That may sound scary, but the reef is safe and one of the island’s most prominent tourist sites.

9. Pigeon Island National Park, St. Lucia

If you want to feast your eyes on some of the world’s most beautiful fish, St. Lucia is your ideal destination. Here, you can find over 500 different species of fish, including rainbow parrotfish, Spanish hogfish, and scorpion fish. When you dive, grab a fish ID chart and see how many kinds of fish you see on your next adventure.

10. Escambrón Marine Park, Puerto Rico

The next time you find yourself in Puerto Rico, venture to Escambrón Marine Park for some epic snorkeling. There is an entire miniature city under the waters here. Over 200 artificial reefs, shrunken statues, and columns make up an “ancient city” inhabited by beautiful fish. It’s a fun dive and an underwater photographer’s dream.

11. Cades Reef, Antigua

Cades Reef is a great snorkeling spot due to its exceptional visibility. In some spots, you can see as far as 100 feet below the sea level. The mild waves offer perfect conditions for seeing parrotfish, eels, rays, and an occasional reef shark. It is a great spot for both experienced and novice snorkelers to enjoy a day in the water.

12. Green Island, Antigua

On the other side of Antigua, sandy beaches and grassy bottoms are ideal homes for sea turtles. Green Island is a short boat ride offshore, but it is an excellent spot for swimmers of all levels. Tourists can view sea life from waters ranging from 15 feet to as shallow as 1 foot.

13. Grand Anse Beach, Grenada

Grand Anse Beach is one of the most touristy parts of the island of Grenada. Those who avoid the shops and restaurants can head to the beach for some fun in the water. Just offshore, snorkelers can find a variety of fish and an occasional turtle. The real treat is watching the abundance of eels poke their head out of the underwater sand.

14. Stingray City, Grand Cayman

The name says it all. This is where people can get up close and personal with these majestic rays. Don’t be afraid; these rays are beyond friendly and enjoy human interaction. Have your camera ready because you will want to snap a picture of the “smiles” on the bellies of these marvelous sea creatures.

15. Baths of Virgin Gorda, Tortola

These natural pools are separated by giant boulders, making them a perfect home for fish and snorkelers. It is an astounding place for adventures to climb over the rocks and explore hidden crevices. You never know what you might find in one of those hidden pools.
