Male Tours in March 2026

Explore leader: for Sri Lanka only satisfactory. Not easy to understand, didn't seem to feel part of the group, didn't join us for meals, a poor communicator (relative to past explore trips) For the dhoni Maldives cruise: Moosa was excellent in every way.

A great trip on board the well equipped dhoni, Kheti visiting different locations guided expertly by Moussah to see so much marine wildlife. Swimming with sharks and rays!! We were really well looked after by the crew and the food was excellent. Luckily the snorkelling helped keep the weight in check.

Sri Lanka tour, a great way to see Sri Lanka with a mix of culture and wildlife. Dhoni cruise, boat was basic but clean. Food amazing, staff great. A great way to see The Maldives, uninhabited islands and small local islands. Snorkeling at least twice a day, seeing Turtles, coral, fish and Nurse Sharks. Plenty of time to relax after a busy 2 weeks in Sri Lanka.

Highly recommend the Maldives boat trip. The crew and tour leader were all lovely. The boat was clean and comfortable, despite the cabins being a bit small. The food was plentiful and delicious. And the snorkelling was fabulous! The Maldives are a different world and this is a real "get away from it all" holiday.

Explore have done it again, with a wonderful trip, led by a most competent tour leader. And the crew of the Dhoni could not do enough for us. Alas, while I appreciate the threat of climate change, the Maldives is rapidly moving to overdevelopment and I would urge anyone thinking of going there to do so sooner rather than later - and to stay as far as possible from Male...

Wonderful week on the traditional Dhoni boat around the Maldives with a like minded group of people. The focus was on the snorkelling which was fantastic and we were very well looked after and well fed. We had the best week and had lots of fun, our CEO, Aman, went above and beyond to make the whole experience truly memorable.
