breakfree drop… maldives!
Last time: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZeJRM-RCXc/?igsh=MTF4d3lzMTg1b2dzNA==
We'll be scuba diving (all skill levels), snorkelling with nurse sharks, stingrays and dolphins, seeing the coral reefs, doing water sports (kayaking, jet skiing, paddle boating), chilling on the beach and meditating. I'll conduct the meditation on the beach for whoever is interested. There are 5 different options depending on whether you want to dive, and what kind of diving you want to do.
It's only a 2 hour flight to Maldives and there's no visa required. After the flight, we take a short speedboat ride to the island. Hotel details at the bottom.
Dates (Option 1): September 11th (Friday) – September 15th (Tuesday), 4 nights, 5 days
Dates (Option 2): September 11th (Friday) – September 14th (Monday), 3 nights, 4 days — we'll share pricing and itinerary details for these dates soon. Let us know if you're interested in this option!
