How to Reach Banana Reef

Situated in the North Male Atoll, Banana Reef comprises a protected marine area full of dramatic cliffs, breathtaking coral growths, fascinating caves and overhangs, along with some big predators like barracuda, sharks etc.

It is also the first internationally recognized reef of the nation. This reef is exclusively popular for the snorkelling practices.

Being situated in one of the most developed atolls of Maldives in terms of hotels and resorts, Banana reef is quite easy to reach. Formed like a banana, this natural reef extends from the Northeast to Southern region covering an area of approximately 300 meters. The nearby resort islands present in the Maldives include Kurumba island, Club MED island and Fullmoon island which is equally popular world-over.

Since the time the North Male Atoll has attracted a scuba diver (which was nearly twenty years from now), Banana Reef has gained a different status. It is highly coveted as an ideal spot for adventure lovers. Another most prosperous feature about this island is its fishes. The fishes present here, have absolutely no fear of the photographers, so one can easily capture some excellent shots of the Banana Reef. Although, it becomes important to be a bit conscious during the strong water currents. As sometimes, it gets really tough to hold the control over the boat when strong current lashes the delicate reef. Banana reef is full of fantastic hotels, inn and resorts, so accommodation is not a big concern. One can find some great holiday packages in very budget.

The answer of how to reach Banana Reef is quite simple. First, one needs to take a flight to reach Male International Airport. To take the journey further, boats, seaplanes and private yachts are the options to reach Male North Atoll. The boat service here is equivalent to a car, whereas sea planes and yachts are more likely to be used by the tourists. Private transfers are mostly expensive. It is important to note that air taxis and boats are not operating at night, therefore, it is always advisable to plan the travel to avoid reaching there around darkness. Public ferries and cargo boats are other options available for budget conscious and independent-minded travelers.

Nagesh's 5 days trip to Maldives

Earlier we were little skeptical to book our trip on travel triangle but after receiving quotes from travel agents and checking their reviews we were happy to know that they were genuine. We booked for 5N maldives with Sumuk international. They were patient enough to give quotes for various resorts and we had many date changes till the last moment. In the end we choosed Villa Nautica which was wonderful. All communication form our travel agent was very which was helpful.

Karan's 4 days trip to Maldives

Except the Rs. 2200 I had to pay to the payment gateway while paying for my trip, my experience has been great with Travel Triangle. However, the Travel Triangle app on Play Store did not support latest version of Android so I relied on their mobile website for interactions. Also, the website does not look refined, but it gets the job done. Piyush from TT was helpful and sincere. The agencies TT connected me with gave best prices and the one I found reliable - Footprint Holidayz, Naushad - I chose and I am happy with them.
