Maldives Holiday and Vacation Packages Reviews
"The most relaxing week of my life was when I cruised through some of the world's most fascinating islands, explored beaches and fishing villages, met the local people and knew their culture. I also experienced snorkling the beautiful coral reefsof the Indian Ocean, saw some amazing sea creatures like turtles, sting rays, reef sharks, and a lot of colorful fish. I also enjoyed the sumptuous meal prepared by the chef on board. Maldives is a tropical paradise of white sands, blue skies and crystal clear waters."
Maldives Dhoni Cruise"We had a memorable holiday in Maldives. All activities were awesome, and the tour guide (Kamey) was fantastic. It was a trip worth remembering and we will definitely come back soon."
Maldives on a Shoestring"Our trip to Maldives last March 2013 was memorable and it was a great way to see the beauty of Maldives. The itinerary enabled us to experience Maldives in a whole new level. The crew were friendly and helpful and there were a variety of food that catered to everyone's palate. The places we visited were breathtaking and we saw some wonderful sea creatures like, sea turtles, sting rays, sharks and many species of fish. Our accommodation was in the Paradise Island Resort and it was a fantastic way to end the trip. Overall we had a great timend will and will definitely book another tour with Encounters Travel."
