Outer Atoll Surfaris

For the serious surfing adventurer, Outer Atolls Surfaris explore the truly isolated southern atolls. Horizon II is a fully equipped, live-aboard motor cruiser featuring comfort and reliability without the luxury price tag.

Outer Atolls Surfing

The breaks in the southern atolls work on a wider range of swell and wind conditions than those of the Inner Atolls so an experienced Outer Atoll guide is essential.

We were the first company to operate Outer Atolls surf tours in the region and our well trained Surf Guides have a vast knowledge of the surf breaks and conditions.

This is a remote region, and our well established emergency procedures have proved to be of vital importance on a few occasions when serious medical problems have ocurred.

There are about a dozen breaks in the region, including Beacons (Right), Castaways (Right), Five Islands (Right), Love Charms (Left), Tigers (Left), Bluebowls (Right) and Two Ways (Left & Right). (Click here for more information about Maldives Surf.)

Outer Atoll Surfari Boat - Horizon II

From 2010, our Outer Atoll Surfari holidays will be on Horizon II, a modern cruising vessel built in 2002, refurbished and very well maintained. Six comfortable cabins all have air-con, fan and en-suite bathroom. Facilities include a fully stocked bar/saloon area with TV, DVD and Hi-Fi entertainment system.

Meals are good and plentiful, with a variety of European, Asian and seafood dishes served in the saloon, on the shaded fore-deck dining table or sometimes on an island beach . This is one of the least expensive boats in the Maldives, and is exceptional value for money.

Horizon II has a dinghy/ zodiac, and is accompanied by a support dhoni - a traditional Maldivian boat ideally suited to shallow lagoons. The dhoni improves access to waves and anchorages and allows the group to split between breaks. And the main boat can be in a safe anchorage while the support dhoni allows extra dawn and evening surf sessions.

Waheed, the Captain of Horizon II is one of the most experienced skippers in the region - he really knows the local communities, the islands, reefs, breaks and surf conditions.

You can snorkel on unspoilt reefs, catch a fish for dinner, and see parts of the country that most tourists never experience.

Boats have all the necessary safety and comunications equipment including Marine Radar, VHF, Radio Telephone, mobile phone (most areas), GPS, desalination plant, generators, and a trained and experienced crew.

The Trips

A surfari trip typically takes a maximum of ten surfers. Guests arrive in Male', the Maldives' capital, and are transferred by local flight to the outer atolls where Horizon II is based for the surfing season.

The trips are 11 nights, cruising the atolls and surfing at the best available waves. On the last day of their holiday, guests fly back from the southern atolls to Male' airport for their flight home.

The package price includes inter-atoll flights, eleven nights on board, all meals, 1.5 litre bottled water per day, surf guide and all taxes.
