November to April (northeast dry season) for the most stable weather, calmer seas and clearer snorkel/diving conditions; May to October is the southwest monsoon—more rainfall and bigger swells but still good for diving and often quieter/pricier for travel.

Tropical maritime climate: warm year-round with average temperatures around 25–31°C (77–88°F). Humidity is high; short heavy showers possible, especially during the southwest monsoon.

Primary international gateway is Velana International Airport (Malé). From Malé you can reach Fulidhoo by:

• Public ferry: economical but slower (multi-hour journey; schedules vary).
• Speedboat or private transfer: faster (typically 1.5–3.5 hours depending on vessel and sea conditions).
• Domestic flight + boat is possible to some Vaavu islands but check available routes. Always confirm transfer options and schedules with your accommodation before travel.

2–4 nights to relax, snorkel and join a day dive trip; 5–7 nights if you want a slower-paced stay with multiple dive days and island hopping.

Lightweight, breathable clothing; modest dress when visiting local homes or the island community (cover shoulders and knees). Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, a light rain jacket (for monsoon months), swimwear, water shoes, and your own snorkel if you prefer familiar gear.

Try local dishes such as mas huni (tuna and coconut breakfast), garudhiya (clear fish soup), and grilled fresh tuna. Souvenirs include lacquerware, handwoven mats and coir products, dried Maldivian tuna (Maldive fish), and small handicrafts made by islanders.
