Why the Maldives

A bucket list destination most people can only dream of, scattered across the equator in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the gem like islands of the Maldives depict the vision of a tropical paradise. Palm fringed islands with pristine beaches, turquoise lagoons, crystal clear warm water, stunning coral reefs and abundant varieties of marine life hosting a massive variety of world class waves that are now accessible to the travelling surfer.


There are 1,192 islands grouped in 26 coral atolls in the Maldives Republic, measuring 820 km’s north to south and 120 km’s east to west, the closest neighbours are India and Sri Lanka. People who have never been to the Maldives often have trouble comprehending that there is almost no land and the highest point above sea level is less than 10 feet.. It is sea with little pockets of coral dotted on top of an old volcanic mountain range. Only 202 of the islands are inhabited; there are no hills or rivers with little tidal movement.

Thank you to Norm for another great experience at Discovery Island lodge. I have done this trip numerous times and each time has been different based on weather, tidal currents and group goals. It is such a unique area for sea life to explore and the dynamic conditions allow for a great opportunity to practice paddling in currents and fast moving water and develop stronger paddling skills. With amazing chef prepared food, wood fire sauna & ocean cold plunges and always great people this is a trip not to be missed!

Another fantastic coastal touring camp at Discovery Island lodge. Mother Nature provided a great variety of some challenging and idyllic conditions, with turquoise waters, bays, channels. A true pleasure being so close to such a variety of marine life. A great learning environment and wonderful food by Isabel. Look forward to going back!

The Explore paddles in Comox provides an opportunity to have Coach Neil work specifically with you to fine tune your paddling skills and to give you a better understanding of efficient trip planning and reading the marine chart. As conditions changed we learned what to look for with wind swell and tidal and river current and how the water patterns change to help identify the safest route to take. It is so beneficial to annually review and refresh all the SUP skills before heading out on your own. There is always some new takeaway every time I am out on the water with Coach Neil. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and stoke out on the water. See you on the next Explore paddle!

Fantastic 4 days on the water circumnavigating Vargas Island, led by Norm who challenged us while making safety and education a priority at the same time. We are better at understanding the interplay of tide/currents/swell/wind/weather/route/hazards/goals for our trip planning after this rewarding educational experience, and come away with renewed motivation to continue progressing our navigation and paddle skills - and what a glorious amphitheatre to learn in! Thanks Norm and Tina!

This camp was my first with Norm and company. I’d heard wonderful things about his tours and retreats and am happy to report that my expectations were far surpassed. The atmosphere of the camp was warm and fun-loving yet, very informative and the instruction was effective. I thoroughly enjoyed and was impressed by all the staff involved in this retreat and can see why there was a noticeable number of repeat guests. I’m eager to do another trip with NHE.
