#100WaysOfTravel #velanainternationalairport #maldives #indianocean This is the cutest Airport I have ever seen in my life as it is located right in front of the Indian Ocean. Walking out from the airport, the infinity ocean sea is just in front of our eyes and there are plenties of public and private boats park by the jetty to pick up the guests. Yesssss, not the grab, not the taxi, but the speedboats waiting outside. Whereas inside the airport, there are a lot of lounges and counters of the resorts or hotels surrounded waiting for their guests to approach for the seaplane arrangement. Again, the seaplane is nearby only and you just need to take the bus to the terminal. The distance is quite near and it only takes lesser than 5 min. Are you ready to visit the place for sun and sea ?

#100WaysOfTravel #shoppingexperience #awesomepic #seaanimal #maldives #velanainternationalairport #souvenirs #shopaholic This is where you can shop like you are in Disneyland when you travel to Maldives!!! Just keep some money until the last day of your trip as this is the most complete souvenir shop that located on Velana airport after you passed the custom!!! Any magnets, cups, toys, picture frames, ornaments with Maldives logo can be found here without needing to look for the souvenirs anywhere in the downtown or the private islands. Just be reminded, the items are quite pricey like the small magnet will cost around USD 10 - USD 15 already!! But anyway, this might be once in your lifetime travelling to Maldives, soooo, just but whatever you like 😆😆

#100usdchallenge #$100challenge #100challenge #NatureOnABudget When people think of the Maldives, they imagine luxury resorts, private speedboats, and five-star dinners. But let me tell you something: you don’t need to spend thousands to enjoy this paradise. I managed to spend less than $100 on my trip, and yes, it’s absolutely possible! 📖 How I did it: ✔️ Accommodation: Instead of dreamy overwater villas, I booked cozy 1-3 star hotels with Trip.com for $15–30 per night. Clean, comfortable, and all I needed for resting after a day on the beach. ✔️ Transport: Forget private speedboats that cost $40–100 per trip. Locals use public ferries, which cost as little as $1–5 per ride. They’re slower, but the views are amazing and you save a fortune. ✔️ Food: I skipped hotel restaurants and went to local shops. For around $10, I picked up fresh fruit, snacks, and even made my own sandwiches for beach picnics. Simple and perfect for island life. ✔️ Flights: Thanks to a low-cost airline, I found a direct flight at a fraction of the price most pay. 🌴 Why it’s worth it: Traveling this way felt more authentic. I met locals, saw a different side of Maldivian life, and enjoyed stunning beaches just like anyone paying 10 times more. So if you’ve been dreaming of the Maldives but thought it was out of reach—think again. With the right planning, you can make it happen.

Swimming alongside sharks in the #Maldives was one of the most thrilling and awe-inspiring moments of my life. Feeling the rush of adrenaline as these majestic creatures glide peacefully around you is an experience I’ll never forget. #Malé #SharkDiving #Maldives 🏝 Where to find them: ✔️ Fuvahmulah Atoll – famous for tiger sharks (ideal for experienced divers). ✔️ South Ari Atoll – the best spot to see whale sharks all year round. ✔️ Vaavu Atoll – popular for grey reef sharks and nurse sharks, often even on snorkel tours. 💸 Cost of the experience: Snorkeling trips with sharks range from $70 to $150 USD per person. Full scuba diving excursions are around $120 to $250 USD, depending on the location and whether gear rental is included. I booked my flights and island transfers with Trip.com, which made it easy to plan my adventure across different atolls. Swimming with sharks isn’t just an activity—it’s a humbling reminder of how breathtaking nature can be.

The #Maldives is one of the best places in the world for scuba diving, thanks to its crystal-clear waters, rich marine life, and stunning coral reefs. From colorful fish to graceful manta rays and even whale sharks, diving here feels like entering another world. #Malé #ScubaDiving #Maldives 💸 Costs to expect: A single dive with gear rental typically costs between $70 and $120 USD, depending on the island and dive center. Multi-dive packages or PADI certification courses are often available at discounted rates. 🏝 Best islands for diving: ✔️ Maafushi – budget-friendly and close to top dive sites like Kandooma Thila. ✔️ Dhigurah – great for spotting whale sharks. ✔️ Baa Atoll – a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for manta ray cleaning stations. ✔️ Fuvahmulah – for more advanced divers seeking tiger shark encounters. I booked my flights and transfers with Trip.com, making it easy to hop between islands and choose dive resorts with excellent guides. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced diver, the Maldives offers an underwater paradise you’ll never forget. #snorkelingtrip

#snorkeling There’s nothing quite like gliding through the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and curious marine life. Today, I swam alongside graceful sea turtles, danced with playful tropical fish, and even spotted a majestic manta ray gliding past like an underwater superhero! 🐢🐠🦈 Every moment here feels like diving into a living postcard—the colors, the serenity, the sheer magic of it all. If you’ve ever dreamed of an underwater adventure, the Maldives is where dreams turn real. 💙 📸 Pro Tip: The best snorkeling is right off your resort’s house reef—no boat needed! Just grab your mask and let the ocean welcome you. 👇 Have you been here? What’s your favorite Maldives memory? Or if you’re dreaming of it, which marine creature would you love to meet? (I’m team turtle forever! 🐢💚) MaldivesMagic #UnderwaterParadise #SnorkelingDreams #WanderlustWarning #localguides
