Dhonis are at the very heart of the Maldivian way of life and cannot be missed during your stay. They are the most common transportation in Maldives and play a fundamental role in the Maldivian economy for fishing, transportation of people and goods between Atolls and Islands.
Modern dhonis have become today a usual way to transport tourists for transfers, during excursions, diving safaris or to reach diving spots. They cross open seas and lagoons by hundreds on a daily basis and can be spotted everywhere, from the airport to the most remote Atoll of the archipelago in all kinds of weather conditions.
