Jeff· February 1st, 2025I just completed the Secret Paradise Maldives Tour and had a great time. The tour was personalized according to what I wanted to see and do and was fantastic. The tour included Male, Hulhumale, Guraidhoo, Maafushi and Gulhi. Some highlights of the tour were the fantastic beaches and snorkeling, where I saw coral reefs, dolphins, sharks, stingrays, muti-colored tropical fish and turtles. Also, it was wonderful to take in the laidback culture of the Maldivian people, while enjoying the beautiful blue waters and sunsets. Madives truly is a paradise! My tour guide, Archie, was excellent. The entire tour was organized seamlessly. Archie Is very knowledgeable, so he explained everything to me about Maldives history and culture. Since he is an expert snorkeler, he encouraged me and helped me with my equipment, and he took me to the best coral reefs and snorkeling locations. If I have the opportunity, I definitely will use Secret Paradise Maldives Tours again and would recommend them to family and friends.Show more

- SCSandra· May 10th, 2024After staying one night in Hulhamale, this trip visited three islands on the South Male Atoll - Guraidhoo, Maafushi and Gulhi. These are local islands with tourist facilities, within 35 km of Male. The accommodation was good on the three islands with air conditioning, friendly staff, comfortable beds and positioned near local areas and 'bikini' beaches. Our guide (Archie) was very knowledgeable, easy to get along with and helped to make the trip very enjoyable. Snorkelling and swimming trips were generally with other tourist groups on a local tour boat. Transportation to and between islands were by local ferry (except for one occasion with a speed boat).Show moreSecret Paradise commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your review.

If the December 7th one has more single people, I may consider that one. Please let me know if there are single folks booked for either tour.
