Swimming with SHARKS in Maldives

Good Morning Travellers! Today, We got ready by 9.00 a.m. to go on our shark-watching trip. As we mentioned last night, It's a package. We can either watch sharks, or we can... Kasun, What else do we have in that package? We're going to a sand bank. Yeah, We have several activities like that, And we were getting ready to go, Because we get to swim with sharks today. That is the most exciting thing about today that we're looking forward to. Those sharks don't have any teeth, So there's nothing to

be worried about. It's almost a one-day activity, Because it would be around 3.00 p.m. when we return to the hotel after leaving at 9.00 a.m. And we're having our lunch over there. 14 people are going with us on our boat, We'll tell you all about this package in the middle of this video. Okay then, Stay tuned to our video today. Here, Kasun has found a new gadget. Before we go on shark watching, snorkeling, dolphin watching, or any other activity, We need to come here, And get all the equipment

that we need for our activities from them. Here they have life jackets, Along with all the snorkeling equipment. Okay, Now we're on our way to the boat, It's not far from here, There's so much stuff on my hands. The boat is only 100 or 200 meters away from here, Some parasailing activities are going on over there, Let's see, We would also like to try that sometime, Because we haven't gone on parasailing before. It's difficult for us to do these activities with Elina, Otherwise, Both of us could

have tried that at the same time. Going on this separately means that we'll have to pay for the same activity twice, Let's see, At least one of us would try to go, And if we did, We'll tell you all about its expenses as well. Either way, We're planning on doing a Maldives travel guide in the future, And we'll tell you about every sports activity that you can do here. Everyone is here, We'll leave shortly. You can sit here if you want. I bought some extra snacks for Elina from the hotel, Because

she might not eat the food that they give us there, And she gets hungry all the time. I mentioned that because people have been asking us that, How do we manage to make Elina eat, No matter where we go. And when it comes to a trip like this, We always take some extra food for her, Right? We were given water bottles, And three towels. So we're going to take a bath now. Good morning, So welcome to the Shark Bay trip of the Triton Prestige. I am Ridney, And this is Ayas. Two guys will be onboard w

ith our captain. There are so many stingrays here, And the sharks came as well. See, there are so many fish here. There's a huge herd of small fish here, Look, Elina. See. So you can make up your mind for sharks. We're going to snorkel with sharks. Wow, Nice. Yeah, The same shark. That much big. Maybe much bigger than that. Oh, Wow. So, You can only see what you see. Do not touch them, Don't be impressed or surprised by them and get stung. Just relax and see. Wear the feets and go. If not, I can

't let you go on water, Because it's for your safety. If you're in your bare feet, You may accidentally put your feet on a shark, And then the vacation is not going to be so good for you. Anyone while moving your hands, Get 3 meters away from the shark to move. Because otherwise, you may put your bare hands on a shark's body. I'm ready to go. Say hi. Where's Dad? [Chamari Singing Baby Shark] Where are the sharks? Elina, Where are the sharks? We came to the sand bank. This is where we take our lu

nch. This is a beautiful place too, But it's a little bit sunny. Let's go and see. Okay, Let's go, Let's go. It's so sunny, Isn't it? Wow. I want those. Wait, They'll give us. What do we have for lunch? Chicken and a sausage with yellow rice. It's so warm out here, It's fine by us, But it makes Elina uncomfortable. You're okay, Right? Are you okay now? It's okay as long as we stay under this umbrella. Let's eat and see what else we can do around here. Hi. Hi. What's your name, Brother? Ayas. Aya

s? Yeah. Thank you so much, Ayas. Ayas took so many photos and videos of us. Now we're ready to go back to our hotel, The other passengers are already getting on the boat. We took our lunch, And I'm so happy about today, We were able to see and experience so many new things that we've been wanting to do. We left our drone there, Now I'm going back to see whether it's still there. Yeah, It's here. Kasun, Kasun, How do you feel about today? Are you happy? We saw many things that we've been wanting

to see, Right? Yeah. We saw them, We got to experience them, To be honest, Now I want to live at sea. It gave me that kind of feeling today. It was the first time that we saw sharks that way, They were huge sharks, We knew sharks as predators, So getting to swim with them feels like a dream, And we were able to achieve so many dreams like that after we came here. Yeah. Here's the other one. The sun is gone now, It got covered by a huge cloud. There's a mermaid on this beach. We took a small bre

ak and came back down, The people are still celebrating, We heard some songs, So we came rushing down. There's a children's park here, We waited until the evening to come here, Because we couldn't come here yesterday. And the other thing is that, The majority of the people of this country are Islamic believers, So you can't walk around everywhere wearing bikinis. There are special areas for them. The bikini beach that we showed you yesterday is one such area. It is the only area on this island w

here you're allowed to wear a bikini. You can't walk in this public area wearing swimsuits. Since this is a local island, We need to respect their religion, So you need to consider such things when you come here. And they don't use or sell liquor here, So if you want to have some liquor, You'll have to go out on a boat. And sometimes boats with bars come here, So you'll have to take a boat and go there to have a drink. They don't use liquor in any hotel or restaurant here. Those are the main rul

es of the islands here. The other side, Other side. Hansaka has come to see us with a pizza, We had some fun last night, Hansaka came here today to get us some nice video clips, He's the one who shot the fireworks videos last night. Hansaka, What's your YouTube channel? It's "Yamu", Right? Yeah, Yamu. If you haven't watched Yamu, Subscribe to Hansaka's YouTube channel, He brings you many things about the Maldives from his channel, The name of the channel is "Yamu". I'll add the name to the descr

iption or somewhere below. Please subscribe to his channel. This is the Maafushi prison. We're on the main street of the Maafushi right now, The police station, Hospital, and all the ATMs are located on this main street. It was late when we got here, But we'll show you around as much as we can. Since we came back to our hotel around 4-5 p.m. from our morning trip, We haven't had much time to walk around the Maafushi Island. So we rested for a little while in our room, And came to take that walk

at night. Let's go and see the island now. There's a saloon here, Shall we cut her hair? Would you like to cut your hair? Shall we have a haircut? What did you say? They'll cut your hair for hours, But their work is perfect. Kasun, Would you like to cut your hair for hours? Shall we go? We should make an appointment and come. They'll perfectly cut your hair. This is the chair style in Male. There are so many chairs like this on either side of the road, You can sit there. Right, Elina? This is th

e ground. They have a huge ground here. This is the Mosque. There's a supermarket here, And there are so many items here, Including electric items, Milk packets, Groceries, and almost everything. Glass items, Yeah, This place has almost everything that your house requires. There's the hotel that we're staying at, We're so close to the hotel now. Why don't you come to Sri Lanka with us? I like to go back to Sri Lanka, You told me that you went there in January, Right? Yeah, I went there in Januar

y, And I'll go again next year. Yeah. Let's go on a trip when you come to Sri Lanka. Let's go for sure. Yeah. We came to get our footages from the trip earlier. They take our underwater video clips with sharks on this package, And they take our photos and videos with the dolphins, They shoot these clips from their Go-Pro for free, We were asked to come here before 8 p.m. to get our copy, So we came here with a memory card to get our copy. Let's go and see. We showed you this location to you in t

he morning, The hotel, The hotel is over here, And it's right in front of the hotel. Aww, Nice. Thank you. Let's go. We came back from our walk. Now we're going back to our room. Kasun, What's the time now? It's around 8.30, Right? Yeah. Let's go. Ele come, Ele come. Who gave this to you? Who gave this to you? Pizza uncle. Uncle Hansaka. We're ready to leave now, And they will deliver our luggage to the boat, Hansaka is also here, He said that he would also come to the boat with us, [Hansaka i

n the background] One of the most amazing Sri Lankan... He's flattering us. Don't say it like that. He's lying. [Hansaka in the background] So, Kasun and Chamari... There are so many water sporting points along this beach, And they have various activities, We can do some of them in Sri Lanka as well, They have jet skiing, kite surfing, Kayaking, Windsurfing, Fun tube, and so many activities. Okay. We can come to any of these places, See, They have a 20% discount going on, So just like that, Yo

u can find them anywhere on this beach, You can go to them and, Choose the activities that you want to do. We didn't get to do many water sports here, We only tried those shark-watching and dolphin-watching activities, Because we can't have those experiences in Sri Lanka. So we thought that, Since we can do these water sports in Sri Lanka, There's no need to do them here. But the water sports would feel amazing with the beautiful beach here, So you can, Stay at a hotel here, And some hotels

also offer these activity packages for you. You can either do them, Or you can get your activities arranged from a place like this on the beach. Some of them even have discounts. This is the off-season here, And they usually lower their prices in the off-season than they off during the season. Because this place will be fully packed during the season, And it's not very crowded these days, So you can, Come here and do these activities. Mom, Yeah? Play a song. Play a song? Brother, We'll see yo

u again someday, Good luck. Good luck to you too. We'll be here. Please subscribe to Hansaka's YouTube channel as well, It's called "Yamu", I'll add the name below here, You can see what's going on in the Maldives from his channel. We went for a small walk after we arrived here in Maldives, Can you hear me? Yeah, I hear you. So while we were walking in a shop, One of the local people in Maldives told me that, I thought you were telling that story. No, It's not that. One of the locals told us

that, There's a Sri Lankan YouTuber here, And he was a friend of this person, He told us the name of his channel was "Yamu". He said "Yaamu". So we thought that we had never heard a word like "Yaamu", Then after he showed us the channel that was telling us, We realized that it was "Yamu". Yeah. Okay then, Yeah.
