Kulinarik & Getränke
Dining on board is a highlight of the Gahaa experience, featuring a mix of local Maldivian dishes and Western favorites. Meals are served in a covered, open-air dining area on the main deck, providing a relaxed atmosphere for guests to enjoy fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including fresh-caught fish. The crew is happy to accommodate specific dietary requirements, such as vegetarian options, when requested in advance.
Shore excursions & land activities
The Gahaa focuses on shallow-water exploration and coastal discovery rather than deep-water activities. Guests can enjoy ample time snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, exploring shallow reefs and shipwrecks teeming with marine life. The crew provides all necessary snorkeling equipment and guidance for these water-based excursions. Beyond the water, the itinerary emphasizes land-based exploration. Guests have the opportunity to hop off the vessel to visit scenic, uninhabited islands, participate in beach clean-ups, and spend time on picturesque sandbars. These excursions offer a unique perspective on the Maldivian landscape, allowing travelers to experience the natural beauty and local culture of the atolls at a relaxed, comfortable pace.
