Experience ‘The Real Maldives’

Explore the islands in the Maldives

Unlike a resort package, on Handhu you will be Island Hopping, the Maldives with the opportunity to visit local islands & meet friendly locals.  You will discover some pristine locations on the route less travelled.

Surf Trips All Year

Maldive Surfing Tours

The Maldivian Atolls offer a plethora of surf options all year round; catering to all levels of surfers.  During Off-Peak (Nov-Mar), we operate surf charters, unlike most boats that are booked for Scuba trips. This is the ideal time for surfers looking for 2-4ft waves in relative solitude.  During Peak seasons we will go anywhere to chase swells to remote locations* 
* Fuel surcharges may apply.
