Time for an adventure – Male’ Tour Excursion

Even though the main tourist attraction of Maldives is the clear blue sky and azure sea, for a seeker of adventure our history and culture will definitely be captivating. Bandos Maldives has a special excursion; Male’ Tour, to ensure you don’t miss the chance to travel back in time to learn about our rich culture and visit historical places.
Male’ Tour starts off at 1430 Hours as you board the speedboat and start your journey to the capital city Male’. After a short 10-15 minutes ride, you will be received at the jetty by our energetic tour guides who will be the captain of your escapade ship. Divided into groups of two, your time traveling starts not far from the jetty itself.
