What people love about touring Maldives solo
- Maldives Island Hopper
Amazing week in the Malvides with Lucas and Aiman. The only thing bluer than the ocean water were Aiman's eyes. Stunning location with two stunning guides. To swim in the water with such majestic creatures was a real treat..and I guess the sea animals weren't bad either. Well organised trip and fun was had by all. Cheers!

That was our second time with this tour operator and that was a great choice! We spent 7 wonderful days in Maldives and we can say with full confidence that it was a perfect stay! From arrival to departure, everything was well thought out and excellently organized. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our a nice resort employee. He explained everything on the island, was always available via WhatsApp, and took care of any requests we had. On my birthday, I was surprised with a beautifully decorated private beach spot. We enjoyed the sunset, had some cake, and received champagne – a truly special moment that made our vacation even more memorable. Many thanks for this memorable time.
This tour is fabulous. We stayed on two beautiful islands which gave us two totally different vibes but both were wonderful. The itinerary is carefully thought out and the legendary team at Indy Escapes and Koda Sail have really taken the time to make sure we can see and experience as much as possible in the time given. Jacob the tour leader was incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable, kind and caring. He made sure to take the time to check in with everyone. He was also patient with everyone and made sure he took a lot of photos and videos of everyone with the sea life and in picturesque locations. We saw whales, manta ray, stingrays, sharks, turtles and hundreds of of tropical fish. The accomodations were very impressive and all had spacious rooms with sea views. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anybody interested in seeing the Maldives.
