This summer, the islands littlest guests will discover the Indian Ocean in Robinson Crusoe style, through scavenger challenges, immersive cultural experiences and underwater exploration, all led by Gili Lankanfushi’s experienced Mr. Fridays.

Holidays kick off with a Pirate Party on nearby One Palm Island, where budding explorers spend the afternoon marooned on the secluded sandbank learning to build ocean rafts and island shelters. Adventurers will bring their scavenging skills back to the main island for art and natural cooking classes.

The local community on nearby island Himmafushi provide an introduction into Maldivian island culture and music classes, teaching children the traditional Bodu Beru drumming technique and basic Dhivehi phrases.
