Why we went to the Maldives when resorts are not our style!: "On arriving on Hulule 'airport island', we transferred to our Maldivian 'dhoni' and set sail. The traditional dhoni is thought to have derived from the Arab dhow and our vessel was converted for live-aboard cruising. Relax and explore the tropical island paradise of the Maldives. Snorkel and swim amid spectacular reef flora and fauna. Spend time and eat with the local people, away from the tourist hubs"
