Maldives Tours and Trips 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."

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.
