Top Travel Deals in Maldives

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.

This was hands down the best Explore trip we have been on. The route we took through the Atolls was so well planned. Two snorkels a day - awesome fish, sharks (of the reef variety), Turtles, Rays, Dolphins!! Our guide (Moosa) was excellent as were our onboard crew. The boat was also great - nice cabins and aircon. Lots of time to relax and take in the scenery. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

A fantastic trip which far exceeded my expectations. I was hoping for some good snorkelling but the close (sometimes VERY) close encounters with sting rays, green and hawksbill turtles, and sharks will remain in the memory for a long, long time. Fed like kings (how on earth the chef managed to dish up some sumptuous feasts from a small galley!) with an ever friendly and helpful crew, and one of the best (and enthusiastic) tour leaders.

Loved the trip, our crew were amazing and our guide Hi went above and beyond to ensure we saw everything and got the most from the experience, he was brilliant. The reason I didn’t give top marks for the accommodation is because the mattress in the cabins are a little thin and it bothered my hips a bit.

It was a lovely holiday. The crew were amazing and the tour guide High (Mohammed) was such a lovely young man and made the trip very special. The food was amazing too.
