THE ACTIVITIES
Sojourn Surf Charters

(Equipment is basic hand lines and mask/snorkel & fins. If you want quality gear, please feel free to bring your own with you).
Exclusive 10 nights Trip
With this option, you can surf any atoll from the North Male to Laamu Atoll, or even further down south, if the conditions are good. This trip is a fully flexible, no-limitations surf safari taking you to secret spots around the island paradise chain with just you and your mates for company, except of course the abundant marine life.
For 10 nights we suggest cruising from and returning to Male as this avoids the cost and baggage restrictions of domestic airfares. The only limitations is the weather and nature and your surf guide will make sure to advise you which breaks work best under any given weather conditions.
Internet Access
All Maldives charters have Wi-Fi hotspots onboard for basic website browsing, emails, messages and Wi-Fi calling. But if you are after more download bandwidth the cheapest option is to just grab a SIM from one of the local providers which can be purchased at the airport once you have cleared customs, or at a local village during your trip. You can also add the global roaming option to your current plan but make sure you’re aware of the costs involved with your provider.
