    With another G Adventure trip down it makes me want to do all of them! The only issue was that there was no Rosé or Champagne, limited choice of red wine and all the alcohol was very expensive. The cocktails were good though!

    An experience of a lifetime. Spent a week with some strangers, who are now dear friends. Saw the Maldives in a way you can't sitting in a resort (we did both). Highly recommend to anyone who is willing to trade a plush hotel for a truly unique experience.
