GREEN WARRIOR MALDIVES

The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, found in the North Malé Atoll in the Maldives, has a program for younger adventurers who are keen to uncover the depths of the ocean — and the pressing urge to protect it. The Ambassadors of the Environment program is in partnership with Jean-Michel Cousteau, the famed environmentalist who has dedicated his life to ocean conservation. The hands-on educational program is designed for both adults and kids — you and your family can join Cousteau’s marine biologists and explore the outer reef of the Atoll without ever stepping foot in water; you’ll see the footage in real time, learning about marine debris and conservation e ff orts. Go even deeper and pilot a submarine to see how species interact underwater. ‘Green Warriors’ will also learn about renewable energy and conservation, and experience a Citizen Science program to learn how the resort’s science team is monitoring plastic pollution in the ocean. The Ritz-Carlton Estate from $32,000 per night. Contact Arianna Calcaterra, director of marketing, maldives.reservations@ritzcarlton.com, +960 400 0999, ritzcarlton.com
