Rite of passage

Like the Pacific, the swells coming in from the open sea, due to Kaashidhoo's isolated nature as a natural atoll like Fuvahmulah, the famous Kaashidhoo Channel can prove a fun ride to the adventurous, with dolphins and flying fish trailing your passage, and sometimes an unlucky flying fish flying right into your vessel!

Although you may choose to make your passage on a speedboat, which will make the ride somewhat bumpy as the below video by Maldives photographer Ahmed Zahid shows, Kaashidhooans feel that only if you cross the channel as you are meant to be, on a dhoni, and get the feel of the channel for which it is famed for, then only you have gone through that rite of passage which makes you deserving to see the sanctuary of this isolated paradise.
