Snorkel and swim amid spectacular reef flora and fauna
Spend time with the local Maldivian people, away from the tourist hubs
Due to weather conditions we missed the island braai. Basin in bathroom very awkward position/ I practical. Was the second time loved it the crew were very efficient.
Beautiful and relaxing holiday. Moosa the Tour guide made it with his knowledge of the Maldives and great snorkelling spots. Staff very friendly and helpful. Couldn’t complain at all.
Great guide. Great captain
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.
Another amazing Maldives cruise friendly guests and great crew, amazing food, 3 meals a day, served from small galley
Great trip and itinerary. Unfortunately the weather meant some parts couldn't be completed but clearly this is outside their control. Our tour gide, Riz, was great to start with but as the weather deteriorated so did his interest and he rather checked ot. The captain was fantastic and took over interacting with the group, despite limited English.
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...
Honestly one of the best holidays I have ever been on, made all the more amazing by our local, super knowledgeable and amazingly awesome guide, Moosa. He ensured the whole group had a fantastic, safe and authentic experience along with the captain and crew. Moosa and our captain used their experience to always find the best snorkelling spots depending on weather and currents which led to us seeing as much underwater wildlife as possible in the best conditions. In addition, we had such a variety of food and very comfortable accommodation. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves snorkelling and exploring island life.
Moosa was knowledgeable friendly and very entertaining. Brilliant guide. I would improve nothing. More purple noodles please !
