Ani· March 5th, 2020I don’t think I got my money’s worth, the only good thing was our guide, reefs and warm ocean. Let’s talk about hotels that we had to stay in four different islands they all were miserable cheap hotels some of them we had to get in from a dark alley, even we requested hand soap never received it from any of the motels they can not possibly be more than $30 a night We only went to cafes never a decent restaurant. The last island we went was Gulhi I still don’t know why we were there, absolutely nothing to do no reef no snorkeling all we did stay in the motel. THE ONLY ISLAND I WILL RECOMMEND IS MAAFUJI. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY IN ANY OTHER ISLANDS. ANY CARIBBEAN ISLAND HAS WHAT MALDIVES HAS MINUS 72% HUMIDITYShow moreTrip date: February 2020- Maria· January 23rd, 2018I loved this trip. Not just the fact that it was in the stunning Maldives but our guide Zaff was just amazing. He made everything run smoothly with his easy going and humorous personality. The activities that were included were all really well put together and the trip was good value. I would definitely recommend this trip to others. Can't wait to get back to the beautiful Maldives - I miss you...Show more

- Rachel· August 31st, 2013We went on this trip in March 2013 and we had a wonderful time, as it was a great way to see such a beautiful place. The overall trip was excellent value and the itinerary enabled us to experience the Maldives in so many ways and also with a small group. We did both of the now optional extras and the crew on the boat were very friendly and helpful and the food was fabulous and in ample supply as well as variety to meet everyone’s taste’s. They also took us to great places for snorkeling which enabled us to see sea turtles, sting rays and even a shark not to mention the many species of beautifully coloured fish. We stayed at the Paradise Island resort and this was a lovely way to end the trip. We would not have thought to do such a trip and were glad that we took advantage of the discounts and booked it at the TNT Travel Show. We will definitely look to book a future trip with encounters travel.Show moreEncounters Travel commented on this reviewThanks for the great feedback! come and see us at the Sep TNT show for your next holiday?Trip date: March 2013
