November to April (northeast monsoon) is generally drier and offers calmer seas — best for diving, snorkeling and island exploration. The southwest monsoon (May to October) brings more rain and wind but can offer good conditions for surfing and fewer crowds.

Tropical maritime climate: warm year-round (roughly 25–31°C), high humidity, with a wetter season (roughly May–October) and a drier season (roughly November–April). Short heavy showers can occur even in the dry season.

Feydhoo and the Addu islands are best reached via Gan International Airport (IATA: GAN), served by domestic and some international flights. From Gan airport, islands are connected by roads and causeways — transfers by taxi or local bus are straightforward. From Malé, access requires a domestic flight to Gan (short domestic flight) or a combination of seaplane/transfer options depending on schedules; scheduled domestic ferries also operate but take longer. Local boats and speedboats provide inter-island connections within Addu Atoll.

Allow 2–4 days to explore Feydhoo and neighboring islands; 5–7 days if you plan multiple dives, surf outings and island-hopping around Addu Atoll.

Lightweight, breathable clothing for warm weather; a light rain jacket for wet-season showers; modest clothing for visiting local communities and mosques (shoulders and knees covered). Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, swimwear, water shoes and, if you prefer, personal snorkeling gear.

Try fresh Maldivian dishes such as mas huni (tuna and coconut breakfast), garudhiya (fish broth) and grilled tuna specialties. Local markets offer coconut products, woven mats and simple handicrafts—avoid buying coral or products made from protected marine life. Small local cafés and guesthouses serve authentic home-style food.
