There is nothing much to do on the island but you can go snorkelling, fishing, diving. It was exactly the same you described 7 yrs back. Guess nothing has changed much!

There is a restaurant at the bottom of your hotel I think its called Aveli, that was the best food on the island, get the red chicken curry with rice mix it together very good, they had a few other good things I just do not remember, it's been a few years, I think I would also get the red chicken curry, and dip my fries in the red Curry that was very good also, a few places had decent fried rice, in general, the food was OK at best, go to Guraidhoo island, its a smaller island, but it's prettier, stay there one day max because once you explore that island there's not much to do. You could take a boat usually it's a small boat that will bring you there. You could see the liquor boat from the beach if you look far enough, it's a yacht, we did not go it was big windy waves, I don't think the drink would've gone down very well on a wavy day. If you're bored you could go swim with the whale sharks, but I'm not sure this is the season. It's known to be one of the best locations to do that.

Yeah the breakfast, even as a Maldivian; is not the best, but I suggest you try a more traditional one! (Ask the restaurant staff for suggestions, mine would be kulhimas w/ plain tortillas with a side of mashuni and some Vegs) It'll fill you up but be ware it could be spicy. Edit: and for those wondering why the water looks muddy it's because of the weather and rain, otherwise it would be crystal clear. The weather isn't the best at all, the next whole week is said to be very bad. I've postponed my fishing trip atleast 4 times now 🤣 And for any potential future traveller, do bring a good set of Jeans shorts or just tropical shorts with a thick sandal / crocks because you don't want sand all over your clothes and thick rocks and corals to damage your shoe*

Maldivians have many things for breakfast, but somehow strangely they serve this combination you just mentioned (sausage, egg and bread) to foreigners (perhaps they assume foreigners will not like Maldivian food). Unfortunately restaurants do not serve variety of Maldivian food. Its like potato in the world. there are many varieties of potato, but what is exported are only one or two varieties around the world. if you like roshi (flat bread) and curry it is available or one other breakfast food is mashuni and roshi. mashuni is tuna mixed with coconut. it is eaten with roshi (flat bread). Also traditionally we used to eat boiled breadfruit. There are many maldivian food... im not really sure why some restaurants don't serve. many restaurant workers are also not maldivians. pls do ask maldivians you see in hotel or in the island. i think they will be happy to guide you or assist you with information.
