Maafushi before 5 years was amazing.. Now very crowded and after that hotel 'terrible' for me in the bikini beach.. Lost the natural.. I will choose Fulidhoo sure and I'm thinking Fulhadhoo and Fehendhoo for next time .. 😁
@@StokedForTravel oh really ? I hesitate between this island and the island of Rashdoo, Fulidhoo seems to have a more beautiful lagoon and blue water but Rashdoo a better reef for snorkeling with more sharks in particular... (according to the internet)
Just came back from ukulhas. I was staying in West sands hotel. The best on island. Look for a person name Hardy there. Beach front. Famous with Europeans and Russians mostly. Awesome island. Definitely going back to back maldives.
Great video loads of valuable information thank you - just one question you mentioned there is no ATM on the Island can you give me an idea of how much cash do I conservatively take for a 10 day stay all the tours and experiences for a family of 5 - much appreciated
Sometimes they do turn up in the evenings and you can see them from the beach, but this isn’t super often. You can certainly do alimatha as a snorkel trip though 😊
Hey, thanks soooo much for your video.. it's exactly what I needed. I travelled to resorts hotels around 13 times, I'm just in love with this country. Just a little sad to see how all these beautiful islands begin to renovate into luxury stuff and unaffordable prices with jacuzzis and pools everywhere. I want to try a local island and Fulidhoo seems very good. I'm a diver but love also love to do some snorkelling, would you mind telling me how the snorkelling is ? and if we can snorkel all around the island or is it limited by the bikini beach areas ? Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it! For sure Fulidhoo is a great local island option and is beautiful 😊 snorkelling off the island itself is pretty minimal (and you can do it all around the island) but the reefs within a short boat ride are epic and well worth checking out. Make sure you do the Alimatha sunset snorkel too!
Great guide! You mentioned covering your shoulders on the local islands but I’d also say knees as well if you’re a girl. A little bit of respect for the dress code goes a long way 😊
I’m doing 6 nights in Maldives. Want to split into 2 islands. Was thinking dhigurah and1 other. Dhigurah is fairly close to fulhidoo. Which island would anyone suggest/
What's the best of the budget hotels with beach front for female solo travellers or the cheapest holiday resort. Is it a good idea to spread your stay between the two types of resort? Thank you
Good question Saravana! Dolphins are spotted year round, whale sharks are a little less frequent though and there’s no guaranteed sightings - generally speaking though May to Nov is the best time for them and manta rays too 😊 Fingers crossed you get lucky with them!
Hi when I checked on Google maps there is many fulidhoo island, in South male, can you send me the picture of the screenshot of this island that you speak about please? To see exactly which island is it
Still confused about transportation, if speed boat leaves at 11am, and we arrive at 3 pm. How can I book hotel without knowing the possible ride and the price? and the same story with the other islands..
Speedboat times can vary from island to island and operator too, generally speaking though the hotels can help organise transfers. However if you arrive later than the last boat, you might need to spend a night in Malé or Huhulamale for a night and head down the next day
@@StokedForTravel We have 2 hours left before the boat departs, there is no point in spending the night on Male. But my question is, is it risky not to book a boat through the guest house, or will it be okay if we get out of the airport and find this boat? I understand that if we buy a ticket on the spot, it costs $ 20 cheaper per person than through booking at the guest house?
@@JuliyaCoh personally I like landing and knowing that first part of the trip is all sorted, takes the stress out of things. Most guest houses will charge the same rate for the ferry or speedboat option as booking direct though in my experience
@StokedForTravel Hi there! We already came back. Yeah, we booked our transport throw the guest house both ways. But what a disappointment it was that they put us on a really high-speed direct boat from the airport, but we went back on a speed boat, but(!) with 2 more stops on the other 2 islands, as a result, instead of 1.45 hours, we drove 3.5 hours back. It was terrible, and by the way, Guest house asked if we would have a plane that day, to which I replied no, the next morning. That's why they decided to save money and as result is this. Therefore, next time I would like to have everything under control and even book transport myself.
@@twonomads2433 I was chatting to Adele from Fulidhoo Dive the other day and things are quiet but still open 😊 having also visited Maafushi I'd choose Fulidhoo every-time! Maafushi certainly wasn't the Maldives I was expecting...

Local islands in Maldives have a charm of their own! Great Video, very informative!
for sure! I love exploring them :)
Thank you I will visit Fulidhoo soon
Enjoy 😊🌴
It was so good to remember my trip to Fulidhoo in 2017. Good job!
Stoked to hear you enjoyed your stay! Any tips on your favourite activities or accommodation?
@@StokedForTravel I stayed in Kinan Retreat and did the picnic day trip, absolutely amazing
@@ClaudiaSantos-md8tp happy days! Did you visit any other islands?
@@StokedForTravel only Maasfushi
Nice! I definitely prefer Fulidhoo though, felt like Maafushi was a bit too much like a European resort! 🤣
Now I'm in Fulidhoo island. Thank you 😊
Yewwwwww! Enjoy 😊
What an amazing video! Helped me so so much! I wanted to know about dressing and how you get to the island. Your video served me well! Thanks!
Glad to hear it Yuna! Have an awesome trip 😊
Nice video keep it up stay con.watching video from dubai 🙏🇦🇪
Nice video and many informations! 👌 I have been some times in Maafushi.. But next time I'm thinking for that 😉
Glad you liked the video! If you liked Maafushi you’ll LOVE Fulidhoo! Way better in my opinion 😊🙌
Maafushi before 5 years was amazing.. Now very crowded and after that hotel 'terrible' for me in the bikini beach.. Lost the natural.. I will choose Fulidhoo sure and I'm thinking Fulhadhoo and Fehendhoo for next time .. 😁
@@makeupelias yeah it's certainly not the Maldives I envisioned. Fulidhoo on the other hands still has a beautiful lagoon and chilled local vibes
@@makeupelias exactly
Amazing video!!
glad you enjoyed it!
Hello dear friend greatting from Macau
Greetings back at you too 😊
Fulidhoo nice island...We have our guesthouse in Guraidhoo Island just for 32$ per night for 2 persons. Maldives on budget is very possible ;)
Nice! I haven’t visited Guraidhoo yet but I’ll put it on the list for next time! 😊
How is the experience in that island ?
Hello, thanks for this informations !
Is it possible to see some black tip shark or eagle ray on snorkeling in the reef ? Thank you
No worries! Yeah I saw plenty of rays as well as both black and white tipped reef sharks 😊
@@StokedForTravel oh really ? I hesitate between this island and the island of Rashdoo, Fulidhoo seems to have a more beautiful lagoon and blue water but Rashdoo a better reef for snorkeling with more sharks in particular... (according to the internet)

Nice! Stoked to hear your enjoyed Ukulhas - its on my list for my next visit!
Hey thanks for your video! What other island nearby can I visit? Would you recommend Ukulhas or Fulidhoo?

Hello, nice video! Can you advice which airport should I choose (from Europe) and from Maldives airport how to go to Fulidhoo?
You’ll need to fly into the main Malé International airport and from there it’s either a speedboat or local ferry option 🤙
@@StokedForTravel thank you again for all the advice!
That is the great Video.
Can I and my kid snorkel to see Nurse Sharks from the beach? Or I have to buy day trip.
Sometimes they do turn up in the evenings and you can see them from the beach, but this isn’t super often. You can certainly do alimatha as a snorkel trip though 😊

good tip there and certainly one that people should pay attention too! Thanks heaps!
Thank you for sharing your experience.. have you visited Ukulhas? I am unsure between Fulhido and Ukulhas
No worries! Unfortunately I haven’t been there yet, but I’ve heard good things! A lot of extra travel time though…
I think those islands in Maldives are underrated to be honest, in my opinion.
For sure! Any others you’d recommend?

Can anyone suggest hotel in Fulidhoo that you like so so much (with nice water)?
Seena Inn was my go to there 🤙😊
@@StokedForTravel thank you soo much!!
Hi I hope you reply my comment😊 may I know until what time the speedboat to Fulidhoo is available? Because I will land in Maldives at 2 pm
I’m not too sure on the current speedboat or ferry times unfortunately!
@@StokedForTravel okay thank you i will check later. Thank you for the video, it really help me😊
@@muthinuriyy glad it helped oyu out - have an awesome time on Fulidhoo!
Whats the right season month for Whale sharks and dolphin snorkeling??
Good question Saravana! Dolphins are spotted year round, whale sharks are a little less frequent though and there’s no guaranteed sightings - generally speaking though May to Nov is the best time for them and manta rays too 😊
Fingers crossed you get lucky with them!
Hi when I checked on Google maps there is many fulidhoo island, in South male, can you send me the picture of the screenshot of this island that you speak about please? To see exactly which island is it

Hi...we would like to visit fulhidhoo from male via public ferry... could you please share the timetable for the same 😊
Hi there! I'm not quite sure of the current public ferry times, but if you check with your accomodation they can advise or what's currently running :)
Amazing video! In which month did you visit?
I’ve been a couple times now - in both July and November 😊
@@StokedForTravel We are planning to visit in the month of August. But we are scared about the weather!! Any suggestions?
Best month to visit ?
Can you fly a drone on fulidhoo island? X
I could whilst I was there - just make sure you keep up to date with the latest local and national drone laws before you fly 🤙
Did u visit recently
I was out there the year before COVID started, so reasonably recently, why?
@@StokedForTravel cool just wondering how the situation is after COVID thanks for the info 😐 still can’t figure out mafusi or fulidhoo

Resort tour charges??
it really depends on which resort you opt for, but expect to pay around $150-200
@@StokedForTravel thanks
@@anshulmaheshwari4928 no worries - it's an epic island!
