* At Nature Maldives, our programs are open to all ages. We believe that learning is richer when generations come together. That’s why we encourage people of different ages to share, learn, and create side by side - whether it’s children learning from elders, or older participants gaining fresh perspectives from the young. Our activities promote intergenerational connection, mentorship, and shared discovery.

This Nature Connect includes a homemade local breakfast

Standing tall on a board and balancing by connecting with the subtle movements of the waves, this Nature Connect is all about learning the basics of cruising the lagoon in a meditative state while engaging your core muscles. It’s a balanced series of movements synchronizing the mind and body.

Participants will learn Fali Jehun (paddling) onboard a standup paddle board or kayak. The key is to learn through play as you get acquainted with the feel of water beneath the board and techniques of holding the paddle and movements. This is an introduction to this recreational form of cruising which offers benefits similar to biking, only much more fun and more aligned with our islander setting. You will get to experience how the limitless horizon opens up a more mindful connection with the ocean as you’re soaking in the sun’s warmth.
