 Kuda Bandos Picnic

kuda bandos island resort This is a small picnic island just 55 minutes away from the main island male'. Kuda Bandos is the uninhabited island of Kuda Bandos (literally meaning small Bandos) ideal for a private picnic on the beach or merely enjoying the sunset after a full day of snorkelling the reef or swimming in the clear blue lagoon.

Open throughout the week except Fridays, Saturdays and other public holidays, Kuda Bandos is the penultimate Robinson Crusoe experience.

 
 Fishing
kandu roadhi fishing Popular statistics have it that the average Maldivian consumes an average of 75 kilograms of tuna annually. Our love for fishing should then come as no surprise, and Kandu Roadhi boat is proud to share the Maldivian flair for fishing with the guests, particularly the art of baitless fishing. One needn’t be a professional as our team includes professional fishermen who will be able to assist you throughout the course of the entire trip. Geared towards this end is our state of the art vessel. A Prowler equipped with a fish finder, global positioning systems, radar and so forth.

Different types of fish are caught depending on the monsoon. The country experiences two main seasons, the South West Monsoon and the North East Monsoon. The South West Monsoon, which usually starts in May and continues until August, is the rainy season. However, given that these coral isles have an abundance of marine fauna, there hardly is a time when a trip fails to yield a good catch.

 Snorkeling Trip

kandu roadhi overviewThe coral reefs in Maldives are inhabited by diverse marine life and are teaming with colourful fish. Snorkeling is the easiest way to enjoy the beauty found beyond the lagoon. Please wear adequate sun screen. Reef snorkeling takes place directly from the boat, and is therefore suitable for stronger swimmers. If you are new to snorkeling we suggest you begin it on the house reef or the reef at Kuda Bandos.

Please remember reefs ae fragile ecosystems. Please do not stand, walk on the corals or reef.  Do not try to take any souvenirs from the underwater world.  It is not safe to remove corals as it may be even poisonous and may hurt your hands or feet.
