    I just completed the Secret Paradise Maldives Tour and had a great time. The tour was personalized according to what I wanted to see and do and was fantastic. The tour included Male, Hulhumale, Guraidhoo, Maafushi and Gulhi. Some highlights of the tour were the fantastic beaches and snorkeling, where I saw coral reefs, dolphins, sharks, stingrays, muti-colored tropical fish and turtles. Also, it was wonderful to take in the laidback culture of the Maldivian people, while enjoying the beautiful blue waters and sunsets. Madives truly is a paradise! My tour guide, Archie, was excellent. The entire tour was organized seamlessly. Archie Is very knowledgeable, so he explained everything to me about Maldives history and culture. Since he is an expert snorkeler, he encouraged me and helped me with my equipment, and he took me to the best coral reefs and snorkeling locations. If I have the opportunity, I definitely will use Secret Paradise Maldives Tours again and would recommend them to family and friends.

    It was an amazing experience to explore the Maldives - what a wonderful place! The weather was also great throughout my stay (December). Many thanks to Secret Paradise team ( Ruth and UB) for making sure my adventure was very well organised. I will definitely visit again!
