PRESENTATION

South Huvadhoo Atoll

The Surfers who come in Maldives are mainly concentrated on North Male Atoll, where 6 waves only are accessible ; without forgetting Lohis and Pasta Point which remain private Spots, only the customers of these two resorts are allowed to surf these waves. Because of the increase in the number of surfers, the spots are increasingly difficult access and atmoshere becomes tense.

The Team of Turquoise Surfing Travel chose to delocalize itself more towards the South to benefit from the last years of “Peace” Surfing in a still wild area. Huvadhoo Atoll is today the largest closed Atoll of the world.

For the experienced surfers, Surfing breaks of Huvadhoo are a true challenge.The atoll is with approximately 300Km in the South of North Male Atoll. The surfers who remained on South Huvadhoo describe the spots like “more aggressive than those of North”.

There is no many Resort on islands of Huvadhu and the only Tourists are the Surfers and the divers remaining on surfing or diving Boats which turn on this part of Maldives.

Access  

The only Airport of Huvadhoo is located at Kaadedhdhoo, about two hours of the first wave “Fiyoari”.
Concerning rotations at Paris departure, the best solution remains the Direct flight of Wednesday CDG- Male with Sri Lankan. Less stress concerning the luggage, particularly for Surf Bags which must arrive at male the very same day.
Rotations on Kaadehdhoo are not so easy. It is a Dash 08 which make rotations between Male and KDM, 33 seats and a consequent compartment, unfortunately you can not axceed a size of 7 ' for Board Bags.
At the start of Male, two flights are interesting, Tuesday and Thursday. It is necessary to count on average 01h10 since the capital, Male.

You must know that 48 hours at least are necessary to each Surfari Boat can join the Airport of Kaadedhdhoo since their central base located on North Male Atoll, all that for saying that logistics must be without fault.
Therefore each departure of Trip must at least be prepared three months in advance. The flights on KDM are charged (the plane remains the fastest means of transport for the natives making the shuttle between Malé and Huvadhoo).
We organize of Surfari on South Huvadhu for groups already made up, that would cost too much for an “individual “to join the boat in full cruising.
