Discover the highlights of Villingili Island on a guided tour from Malé. Learn about the island's unique, haunted history, meet the island's friendly stray cats, and snorkel at the house reef
Meet your guide at the Villingili ferry terminal in Malé (or in Villingili, for guests staying in Villingili). Begin your tour with a walk around the island and learn about its unique history and haunted reputation!  As you walk, you'll meet the island's friendly stray cat population and feed them with the cat food provided by your guide.  Next, you'll cool off with a guided snorkel of the house reef. Get fitted with your rental gear and follow your guide into the water.  After your snorkel, stop by a local cafe and try traditional Maldivian "short eats" (available for afternoon tour only). Finally, wrap up the experience and get help navigating back to your accommodations.
