    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!!

    It was my first time travelling with Secret Paradise. Entire tour was as per itinerary. I really enjoyed time spent with our guide (Shark) and the fact, that we had a chance to see bit of 'real Maldives'. Each island had it's own atmosphere. Accommodation was simple, but everything fully functional and reasonably clean. Wi-Fi didn't work in the room (2 guesthouses), but did work at the reception/outside the room. I wasn't bothered by this much. Food was generally fine, depending on the guesthouse, quality varied. Regarding snorkeling, my top location was coral garden near Maafushi island. (nice corals, plenty of fish, turtles). We were even lucky to see dolphins during our day snorkeling tour. Generally this tour was very nice experience. One thing, I would point out. Clients with mobility issues should discuss this tour first with the tour provider I guess. If your room is on upper floor, you need to be able to walk upstairs, walk around the islands (if you wish to participate in guided tour) and during snorkeling trips you need to be able to climb back into the boat using a ladder. :-)
