  • Is this the cheapest island in the Maldives, a local island 30 minutes north of the capital city Malé is Thulusdhoo. Known for its surfing, beaches and boat tours, it's also a very affordable island to visit, significantly cheaper then the local island and expensive private resorts.

    Just came across your channel by the wonders of TH-cam recommendations. Really enjoying your content and story telling.
    Just one thing to put right! Moray Eels like most all creatures in the sea are not inherently dangerous. Like most wild life, they will always try and flee the area than attack. An attack is always there very last resort and only happens if they are cornered and cant escape. While Moray Eels have some serious teeth, it is actually not the bite itself that poses the threat but the fact that they feed mainly on cadaver of dead see creatures. As a result a Moray Eel bite can cause blood poisoning.
    As a scuba instructor I have seen countless Moray Ells in the Med and Red Sea and have never had a bad moment watching them.

    I feel so sorry, that you didn`t find the best place for food - Byyoni Cafe, huge piece of local tuna in mushroom souce just for 5$....loads of other tasty dishes over there, hardly suggested to everyone, who wisits Thulusdhoo. Alsoo Season Paradise hotel is the best place to stay over there, swiming pool on the roof, everyday shows and lovely administrator Juna....

    Pilot whales are indeed lovely animals.
    2:20 - 8 Pounds Sterling comes to 14 Canadian Dollars. Not cheap at all!
    2:40 - $$$ Trump$ Religion, as it has always done...
    Sharks and rays will not usually attack you unless there is a shortness of food in the area.
    Great video!

    @charlottetubes 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Local businesses have to pay their staff in US dollars too. So the businesses ask for dollars, which they have to "buy", if you don't pay in dollars. It's not a rip-off, it's only logical. If they put their prices in USD and you decide to not pay in dollars, it's not their problem, it is yours. Male is far away, the Male exchange rate doesn't apply on the local islands. There are no dollar ATMs on the local islands, so bring USD cash. Don't refer to your exchange rate app because it's just unfair, the Maldives are and island state, this is why western food is expensive too, btw. You can get anything, and that's what the resorts provide, but it comes with a price tag. 35USD for a snorkelling trip, how do you think these people should maintain their boats so tourists are safe, how to make a living and pay their staff so that they can make a living? Weird sort of tourism with a return of the cheap mentality. I hope not too many people like this. Instead spend a bit more and leave a decent tip.
