Reviews of our Maldives Private Tours
Our Maldives private tours are reviewed by travelers who booked with us.
Greg | Traveled in April
A very chilled and relaxed holiday with a guide and crew who looked after our every need and showed us the best snorkelling around the Maldives. Swam with sharks, dolphins and all manner of tropical fish close up. Food was amazing all week and to have a meal on a deserted island was magical.
Anonymous | Traveled in April
Great boat trip through the Maldives with daily snorkelling sessions looking for reef fish, turtles and manta rays and an occasional visit to a local island
Julie | Traveled in April
This was our second time on this trip and it didn’t disappoint. Our tour leader (Shuja) was excellent, finding new reefs to explore, ensuring we all managed to see what we were hoping for in a fun and safe manner. He also helped to take amazing photos and videos for us whilst snorkelling. The boat crew were very professional, especially the chef who made plentiful, healthy and delicious meals, catering for food allergies and intolerances. I would recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys swimming and snorkelling, we hope to be back for a third time!
Kevin | Traveled in April
My fourth time on the dohni cruise, it’s a wonderful relaxing holiday, the crew are amazing , and the food from the small galley is amazing too , the cabins are small , but I sleep on deck every night, under the stars which is magical !!
Rick | Traveled in April
This trip was amazing. The room on the boat was small but comfortable and I slept most nights on the deck star gazing. The entire ship was super clean, and we had an awesome chef who made great food. The itinerary is a bit out of date as there is no longer a beach BBQ and the shipwreck snorkel expedition was scrapped because it drifted deep into the ocean and is gone now. Moosa, our guide, was the best. He took us to so many quiet reefs, away from the other tourists to snorkel and was so knowledgeable about the coral and wildlife. This was the absolute best trip I have ever been on.
Paul | Traveled in February
Great trip with a very knowledgeable guide. Saw everything we hoped for, and more! Crew onboard the boat were fantastic, food was great and would recommend this trip to anyone!
