The island has several restaurants, a dive centre and a marine life station, and its house reef offers snorkelling with turtles and blacktip reef sharks. The Rasdhoo hammerhead dive site is nearby. Besides resort guests, visitors from Rasdhoo resident island can buy day passes (prices set by the resort). From Malé, it takes about 1.5 hours by speedboat or about 20 minutes by seaplane.
