About Handhu - Outer Atolls

Note: YOU CANNOT TRAVEL WITH SURFBOARD BAGS OVER 8 FT IN LENGTH' ON THIS TOUR AS THE DOMESTIC FLIGHTS CANNOT ACCOMMODATE THEM.

If you and a group of mates want to discover this remote frontier that few before you have then this is the trip for you.

You arrive in Male to connect that night with an Island Aviation flight to the far south, where the 90 ft Handhu and her friendly crew will be waiting to greet you. Overnight anchorage near the airport island then early the following morning commence your adventure of a lifetime.

The cost is slightly higher than the more mainstream charters however the experience of pioneering this new territory in total solitude is hard to put a price on.

Historic data shows that there are only three PEAK SURF MONTHS in this region, FEBRUARY, MARCH AND APRIL. We would love to sell more of these trips throughout the year however we would be doing you an injustice by sending you to this remote region at time other than the PEAK surf season.

Charters are 13 nights and our highly experienced surf guides will ensure you acheive maximum surf time.

Handhu's sister boat, Handhu Fahli, will also operate in Gaafu Dhaal atoll during this period. Both boats/guides will stay in touch constantly regarding the surf and co-ordinating their positions so they will be surfing different breaks, as many breaks work simultaneously.

Handhu is 90 ft in length and very well laid out with air-conditoned twin cabins with ensuites, air-conditioned saloon and lounge and a massive outdoor deck space featuring a large undercover alfresco lounge/dining area capable of seating at least 15 people. This is the favourite dining area as it allows guests to escape the hot Maldivian sun yet still remain outdoors capturing cool ocean breezes whilst watching the surf break nearby.

Facilities on Handhu include an air-conditioned saloon and lounge area with TV, DVD player and stereo system that is compatible with Ipods. If you prefer the outdoor breezes then the huge undercover lounge area is the ultimate place to chill out. The upper sundeck is a great area to hang out and watch the world go by and a great platform for photography.  The aft deck is the ideal fishing platform and many a fish has been caught here!
