Day Seven and Eight
Blown away by so many fun experiences, no one will know what day it is by now. However, everyone should be on familiar terms and struck by the notion they are experiencing something genuinely unique. Having accomplished much of what we set out to do, we now look to fill in the blanks. Bigger waves, smaller waves, islands inhabited or deserted, fish caught or not. Often it’s about now that the arms and shoulders beg for mercy, and finding other options gives people a break from surfing.
Day Nine and Ten
I never give up. This is one of the defining aspects of travelling with Liquid Destination – it ain’t over till the moment we drop you at the airport. It doesn’t matter if the body has given in, we surf, we laugh and we go right till the end. The featured event of the last evening is the slideshow of photos from the trip. It’s a great way to reflect on the journey, highlight the magic moments and have a few laughs. All things going to plan I drop you back at the airport, swearing you’ll be back next year to do it all over again.
Day One and Two
Whether you’ve flown in the night before or have jumped straight on board, it’s likely you are going to be fatigued from the long journey. Sometimes we take off as soon as you arrive and drive through the night, while on other occasions we push off in the morning. We try to get people into the water as soon as we can to blow the cobwebs out. The itinerary for the first day is typically pretty relaxed as people catch up on sleep, but by the second day, we should be posted up at a good wave that will keep us interested for a day or two.
Day Three and Four
I like to use the first couple of breaks to give people the chance to become comfortable with the reefs, learn where the best take-off zones are and start dialling in their boards. This is when people really start to settle into their holiday. We will enjoy a snorkel, and wander around some islands if they are in close proximity. The relaxed rhythm has typically kicked in by now with sunset beers going down a treat and everyone enjoying the stunning surrounds of the Maldives.
Day Five and Six
Depending on where we are, we will be searching for different waves to surf. I like to mix it up with lefts and rights, long walls and/or barrels. By this stage, we are typically planning a resort visit and the fishing adventures are definitely well and truly underway. Whether it’s trolling on the move or bottom bashing at night, the freezer should be filling up with fresh fish by this point.
Ten Days in Paradise
From airport pick-up to drop-off we promise you a unique Maldivian adventure. On our ten-day journey, we will tap into our knowledge of the best, uncrowded breaks and do everything possible to ensure you score the wave of your life. Along the way, we will venture onto deserted islands, access the best fishing and diving spots and maybe drop in on a resort, so that you get to experience all the Maldives has to offer.
From dawn surf checks, to sunset barrels, find your surfing nirvana on islands where deadlines don't exist!
Below the lineup: kaleidoscopic reefs, pelagic giants.
Where palm-fringed islands, perfect peelers and laid-back island culture collide.
The Maldives isn’t just a destination, it’s a dream wave playground. Picture more than 1,200 emerald atolls scattered across a turquoise Indian Ocean, each fringed by sugar-white sand and guarded by reef passes that come alive with every pulse of swell. At dawn you’ll glide into glassy barrels under blush-pink skies; by midday you’re drifting over kaleidoscopic coral gardens, watching reef sharks and turtle traffic beneath you; and when the midday sun has passed, you can be back out chasing another set of pristine, ruler-edge waves.
But it’s so much more than surf. Share a dawn coffee with your mate checking the surf, lay back reading a book in between surfs, snorkel the pristine reefs and their diverse colours of fish species or troll a lure for a wahoo and yellow fin that will bend your rod, and your grin. Finish the day with a cold beer, tall stories of barrels (or barrel dodging!) and a buffet-style dinner on board. If you love your reef fish, throw the handlines out or sit under the blazing stars in the Milky Way overhead.
Whether you’re a barrel hunter, a free-diver, a fishing tragic, or just someone who knows paradise when they see it, the Maldives delivers nature’s greatest hits on constant rotation.
All that’s missing is you in the lineup.
A fisherman’s playground with big pelagic and reef fish in abundance.
