It offers a perfect mix of natural beauty and cultural experience. Tourists can enjoy activities like snorkeling, dolphin watching, sandbank trips, scuba diving, and water sports. Unlike many private resort islands, Maafushi gives a more local and affordable Maldives experience while still feeling like a tropical paradise.
