Meet your guide at the Villingili ferry terminal in Malé (or in Villingili, for guests staying in Villingili). Begin your tour with a walk around the island and learn about its unique history and haunted reputation! As you walk, you'll meet the island's friendly stray cat population and feed them with the cat food provided by your guide. Next, you'll cool off with a guided snorkel of the house reef. Get fitted with your rental gear and follow your guide into the water.
