- CMCharlotte· January 8th, 2020Beautiful place, great boat, best trip and would do it again in a heart beatShow moreTrip date: December 2019
- LBLaura· November 2nd, 2018We have chosen a Dhoni Cruise but, after the first day, G Adventures changed the boat “upgrading” us in a bigger cruise boat. This boat has had few problems: in the bathrooms (blocked toilet, shower not working and so on) and my cabin full of bugs. The boat didn’t have any snorkeling equipment and I had to use the staff’s one. The boat wasn’t provided with sufficient alcohol beverages and the generator was working all night long creating an annoying sound. I want to point out that crew and staff have been super efficient and helpful. Regarding the planning of the cruise, it has been asked to arrive in airport not later than 10.30, so we did. Nevertheless we lost the first day because G Adventures booked the trip for 2 customers flying from Colombo with the arrival in Male scheduled at 2.30 pm and they reached the boat after 4.00 pm. We lost our first day of snorkeling because of this.Show more
G Adventures commented on this reviewThanks for the honest review here Laura. It seems we have some things to improve upon on this tour, and we will do our best to do so.Trip date: October 2018 
Darlene· June 10th, 2018The chef on board “Ajoy” was amazingShow moreG Adventures commented on this reviewSo glad you could experience the Maldives with us. Thank you.Trip date: June 2018- MMmarta· April 14th, 2018I loved the trip. I would totally recommend it. And Tourradar service is really great: clear information and amazing customer service. Crew, food, boat and overall experience was great. Its a relaxed and chilled trip. Would have been good to know in advance that this tour in NOT island hopping. You actually barely stop on islands. The tours is mostly sailing and snorkeling everyday. There are only a couple of stops on sandbanks (so not islands but just a few minutes on a piece of sand) and 2 stops in local islands (which are really poor and dirty). There is barely no beach time, which is fine if you love sailing and snorkeling. The food quality and portions was really impressive. The crew was very nice, hardworking and available all the time. Only thing is that only the CEO spoke English but not the rest, so really hard to interact with the rest of the crew.Show moreTrip date: April 2018
- MMarie· March 13th, 2018Not all "dhonni" are created equal. At least I hope not. Our room had no ventilation so we left the door open. The AC didn't work for several nights. When it did it was turned on from roughly 6pm to 6 am. After repeated complaints we finally got a working fan. Metal in bathroom area was rusted through. I was glad I had my tetanus shot when I slipped on the floor and my toe went through the metal. Our guide slept a lot so much so that we joked about it. He showed himself briefly when not going on excursions. He never introduced the crew. On the last night, the owner of the boat came on board and openly smoked pot. Oh yes, full ashtrays were inside the common areas. Without the open windows and doors, it would have been unbearable for a non-smoker. The crew on the hand was great and we relied on them. The cook was excellent producing great food in a small galley. Based on this experience I would not recommend this trip. Maybe other hired boats are better....let's hope so.Show more

Asked on October 10th, 2023I am interested in this tour for Dec-Feb. What departure dates do you recommend? This tour says the cost is $1299 but I see prices that are over 50% higher. Can you suggest a trip and departure date for adding a UAE/Oman trip? What time of the year is ok to travel to Oman (ie: not too hot).

We have a Last Minute 35% promo on our 3rd November departure - this is the only date on sale for 1299 USD. If you are ready to book, please select the 'book now' button located on the left-hand side to secure your spot on Maldives Dhoni Cruise.
