Signature Experiences

Experience the first-ever zipline in the Maldives and take in unforgettable ocean views and jungle vistas. At a height of 5 to 10 metres and overseen by our professional Zipline Rangers using world-class safety practices, the zipline takes a scenic route through the forest near our majestic water villas. With towering platforms and rope bridges along the way, it ends at an elevated dining tower raised 12 metres above the ground. This experience can either be done as a stand-alone experience or accompanied by a gourmet breakfast or dinner at Flying Sauces. Operating during daylight hours only, the zipline takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes; the Flying Sauces dining experiences take an additional 1 hour for breakfast and 2 to 3 hours for dinner. Each Flying Sauces experience is suitable for a maximum of 8 guests during the day and 16 guests in the evenings, aged 8 and above. Please note that this is the only activity on our island for which closed shoes are compulsory. We also suggest that you select clothing that allows lots of freedom of movement and which can be worn with a harness that has individual leg-loops. We can provide pouches for mobile phones should you wish to take yours along with you. Reservations may be done through your Barefoot Guardian and are based on availability.

Experience the ocean with complete freedom. Gliding, diving, skimming – all of this is possible with a SEABOB. Learn to move through the water like a fish, on the surface and beneath the waves. The SEABOB is environmentally friendly, moving powerfully and almost silently as you explore the marine world. eFoils use an advanced battery to power a silent electric motor that is mounted on an all-carbon fibre hydrofoil, which can be controlled with a wireless Bluetooth hand controller. Riders, from beginners to those already skilled on a board, can fly for over an hour of fun at speeds of up to 40km per hour! What happens if you fit a surfboard with a motor? You get an eSurf-board with a carbon fibre body that is hydrodynamic and stable. The board also houses the motor, and you control the handheld throttle. The eSurf lets you get up to speeds of 56km per hour, making this an exhilarating water sport.
