Travellers Experience / Reviews about Gan Island

Joseph Thomas visited at: 2011-12-20

The island is pretty much far from Male yet it is easily accessible with an international airport. The island gives a private isolated feel to the travellers with a perfect fusion of luxury and fusion. Due to the surrounding reefs, Gun island is one of the most famous in Maldives for snorkelling. The corals here are also unique and colourful. During scuba diving the tourists are sure to explore the shipwrecks due to the rich history of island. Tourists can also visit to the other parts of the Atoll whose four main islands are joined by a causeway. While travelling from one attraction to another it is best to use cycle or motorcycle.
