What people love about Maldives Tours from Male
- Maldives Group Tour! Whale Sharks, Manta Ray, Shipwreck & Resort Visit
Lucas knows how to run an adventure tour like no other! He keeps the excitement high for the entire duration of the trip and ensures everyone in the group is happy, comfortable and of course doing amazing things they wouldn’t otherwise be doing. The Maldives certainly is an incredible place, but this tour expanded it to a once in a lifetime opportunity I’ll remember forever.
Quite an amazing adventure on Maldives made possible with care of the ecosystems and support to the Maldivian people. My guide, Archie/Muhamed was the best guide anyone could ever have in seeing and enjoying the beauty of Maldives. His connections with Maldivian people made my trip comfortable, convenient and an adventure to treasure. Would love to do it again with my family! Thank you so much Archie and Ruth!!
