Conrad Maldives Rangali Island unveils the Undersea Academy, a new three-day educational journey for children aged 5-12. The programme is an exciting blend of learning and fun designed to spark a love for the ocean among young travellers.

The journey begins with the unveiling of oceanic wonders, where the first day features an engaging Marine Biology talk at the resort’s kids club, Majaa Explorers Hub and a mesmerising visit to the world‘s first Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, offering a glimpse into the aquatic world as the children descend five meters below the sea and discover a variety of fish swimming overhead the 180-degree acrylic dome. The adventure continues on the second day with a glass-bottom boat tour. This thrilling marine expedition brings the mysteries of the deep to life, providing an up-close view of the vibrant sea life. The final day will see the young explorers put their learnings to the test in a fun and interactive session, finishing with a  graduation ceremony to honour their newfound knowledge and passion for the marine world. 

The Undersea Academy exemplifies the resort’s dedication to environmental education and conservation, designed to ignite passion for the new generation of ocean enthusiasts. This programme presents the thrill of exploration with the delight of learning, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Maldives. Offered at US$150++ per child, the program runs from  Monday to Wednesday at Majaa Explorers Hub until 28th February 2024. This enriching three-day experience promises to be an enriching journey into one of the world’s most exquisite locations for sea life.

Outside of the new academy, the family-friendly resort invites younger Conrad Maldives guests on further adventures, from taking part in sports and games, arts and crafts, culinary workshops, snorkelling trips and even enrol in the bubble maker class where kids get familiar with the basics of scuba diving. The resort’s marine biologists also hold regular talks about its coral adoption program, offering younger guests the chance to learn about the importance of corals in the ocean’s ecosystem.
