Why surf Maldives?
With 1,196 islands spread across 26 atolls, the Maldives is home to some of the best waves in the world, offering everything from perfect peeling lefts and rights to hollow barrels and long, top-to-bottom rides. We’ll explore the very best the central atolls have to offer, using a fleet of boats to ensure we score the best waves on offer each day.
Your trip is led by Glen Gaudion, an ASI-certified surf instructor with over 15 years of experience surfing, coaching, and guiding around the world. Having spent several years living in the Maldives, Glen brings deep local knowledge of the atolls, combined with his role as Thermal’s CEO and a passion for sharing world-class waves. Now based in Cabo, Mexico, he continues to guide surfers to unforgettable experiences across the globe.
Your floating resort
This vessel accommodates up to 30 guests in 15 cabins and suites. With 7 cabins and 8 suites, each featuring sea views or port lights, the rooms are arranged across two levels: cabins on the lower deck and suites on the middle deck, offering a refined and comfortable experience at sea.
Is this just a surf trip?
This Maldives trip is more than waves, it’s an island adventure. Surf uncrowded breaks, explore hidden atolls by boat, snorkel in crystal-clear lagoons, and soak in stunning vistas. With pristine beaches and vibrant marine life, every day blends surfing, exploration, and adventure.
Will non surfers be bored?
Far from it! Each day we will always have an activity scheduled for non surfers. This may including snorkeling, wake boarding, diving or fishing. Guests can spend time in the spa facility, relax in the Jacuzzi, or simply enjoy the sunshine.
How do room allocations work?
Room allocations will be upto the group to decide. We can assist helping determine which rooms will be best for each guest.
Should I bring my own boards?
Yes, most airlines will allow you to bring your boards over up to around 8’6 (check with your airline). Also bring spare fins, leg-ropes, wax, grub screws as there are no surf shops out there!
What’s not included?
Flights & drinks are not included.
Passport Validity
Your passport must have at least 6 months validity from the date of departure.
Will I get seasick?
As this is a very large vessel you don’t tend to notice the movement. There can be instances when crossing between atolls that it can get rough so we do recommend people bringing medication for motion sickness just incase.
