Can we reach there from Male by speedboat. Very informative video. Which dive company you chose and the cost of manta excursions.

Hi were you staying in the local island nearby hanifaru bay?

[@HandsomeLiu]

Hi yes. We stayed at the local island called Dharavandhoo. There is a domestic airport on the island so it’s super easy to get there from Male international airport. Also the local island is closer to Hanifaru Bay than any resorts. It was absolutely comfortable to stay there 😄

Lucky you. I spent airplane tickets and a whole week on Dharavandhoo Island in 2017 Sep.
Even though the weather is good, the dive shop just told me they sent drones but no manta is found in the area. 🥲
