Journey notes
Why this route works
Why does this itinerary fit travellers from Delhi?
This 4-night Maldives friends package suits Delhi travellers because the short duration fits a 5-day leave window, flights from Indira Gandhi International Airport reach Malé in under 5 hours, and the visa-on-arrival policy means no advance paperwork for the group.
Indira Gandhi International Airport handles scheduled services to Velana International Airport in Malé, with direct flights available on select days. A 4-night trip from Delhi requires only 5 days of leave, making it practical for working professionals. The package price starts at ₹85,000 per person for a group of four, covering flights, shared accommodation, and breakfast.
The itinerary is activity-focused, with water sports and reef experiences scheduled across the 4 nights. Tripstor can adjust the group size and room configuration for groups of four to eight friends.
What experiences does this package include?
This friends group package includes shared resort accommodation, a beginner scuba diving session, a snorkelling trip to a nearby reef, a night fishing excursion on a traditional dhoni, a water sports session covering kayaking and paddleboarding, and a sandbank visit.
- 4 nights in shared twin or triple rooms at a 3-star or 4-star resort
- Beginner scuba diving session (Discover Scuba Diving) with a certified instructor
- Guided snorkelling trip to a nearby coral reef by speedboat
- Night fishing excursion on a traditional dhoni, with equipment provided
- Water sports session covering kayaking and paddleboarding at the resort
- Sandbank visit by speedboat with free time on the sandbank
- Daily breakfast for all group members at the resort restaurant
Who is this package best suited for?
This package is best suited for groups of four to eight friends aged 18 to 40, departing from Delhi, who want an activity-focused short break. The itinerary includes at least one structured activity per day, with evenings free for the group to socialise at the resort.
The beginner scuba diving session suits friends with no prior diving experience, as the Discover Scuba Diving format requires no certification. Friends who already hold a PADI Open Water certification can request a reef dive upgrade in place of the beginner session. The package is not suited for travellers seeking a slow-paced or wellness-focused trip.
How do the days unfold on this trip?
Day 1: Delhi Departure and Resort Check-In
Velana International Airport is the Maldives' main international entry point, located near the capital Malé. The group departs Delhi, arrives in Malé, and transfers to the resort by speedboat.
Day 2: Beginner Scuba Diving Session
Discover Scuba Diving is a beginner-level scuba session conducted in shallow water under the supervision of a certified instructor, requiring no prior certification. The group completes the session in the morning at the resort's dive centre.
Day 3: Snorkelling Trip and Sandbank Visit
The guided snorkelling trip departs by speedboat to a coral reef located away from the resort, offering a wider variety of marine life than the house reef. The group visits a nearby sandbank in the afternoon for free time in the water.
Day 4: Night Fishing Excursion
Night fishing on a dhoni is a traditional Maldivian activity where participants fish using hand lines from a wooden vessel after dark. The group boards the dhoni at approximately 7:00 PM and fishes for two hours.
Day 5: Check-Out and Return to Delhi
Resort check-out is at 12:00 noon, with the speedboat transfer to Malé timed to the return flight. The group arrives back at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi the same evening.
What should you know before booking?
Indian travellers receive a Maldives visa on arrival, valid for 30 days, at no charge. Each group member needs a valid Indian passport and a confirmed resort booking for immigration clearance. The Discover Scuba Diving session requires participants to complete a medical declaration form before entering the water.
The Maldives Green Tax of USD 6 per person per night applies to all guests at tourist resorts and is not included in the base package price. Groups should budget approximately USD 24 per person for a 4-night stay in Green Tax charges. Alcohol is available at resort islands but is not available on local inhabited islands due to Maldivian law. Tripstor confirms all resort-specific policies before the group finalises the booking.
