- Leisure Activities
* Big game fishing
Reel in a big tuna, sailfish or mahi mahi from the 16.7-metre (55-foot) High Flyer, a sport fishing boat specially designed for big game fishing on the high seas. Unmatched by any other boat in the area, the luxuriously furnished High Flyer features an 81-centimetre (32-inch) flat-screen television, surround-sound MP3 music system and other advanced amenities. Set lunches are served on board. Guests may choose a full-day (8-hour), or half-day (four-hour) charter package.
* Island-hopping
The Maldives' 1,190 islands feature countless sandbanks and reef tops where you can enjoy unlimited land or sea activities – snorkel at isolated reefs, visit traditional Maldivian villages or relax in private on a deserted sandbank. Our 16.7-metre (55-foot) luxury sports cruiser, Landaa Summer, allows you to island-hop in comfort. Its easy sea access makes for effortless snorkelling or swimming from the back of the boat, while the air-conditioned salon with flat-screen television provides comfortable relaxation in the heat of the day. Set lunches are served on board.
* Seaplane photo flight
From 457 metres (1,500 feet) in the air, you will have a whole new perspective on the Maldives. Savour the views of miles and miles of islands, lagoons and calm azure waters during this 20-minute flight, and take advantage of limitless photo opportunities. Seaplanes may be chartered privately.
* Island picnics
A private cruiser takes you across the atoll for a picnic on a small island or a sliver of sand, lost in an azure sea – the perfect setting for a romantic celebration or a family day out. Snorkel amongst brilliantly coloured corals, go fishing or simply relax in the shade of your tent.
* Jogging
A leisurely jog around the island at dawn or dusk is one of the best ways to view Kuda Huraa's amazing vistas, where the sea meets the sky. Jogging maps are available.
