10 Days in Maldives – Day 02 – Snorkeling #1 for Noobs

Posted on 8 Jun 20194 Oct 2019   by CY

Both the wife and our Ang Mo bud have snorkeled before, so of the three adults this trip, I was the noob. The Sunrise Huraa offers different packages at varying prices between USD15 to USD45/pax, depending on the location and
