During our stay in Maafushi island we had two days to go around outside the island.

We went Island Hopping on day 1 with the hotel crew. We visited one of Maldives sand dunes which are so breathtakingly beautiful and then went to one of their picnic lunch where we have free time to explore the island while the hotel crew preparing BBQ lunch.
