Magical moments at sea - It was an amazing trip! I went with my sister, and we had a wonderful time. The boat owner was very knowledgeable about fish, snorkeling, and sandbanks. He took us to the perfect spots to see colorful fish and stingrays. The staff were also very friendly—especially Maile, who made our trip truly unforgettable. A special thanks to the owner for taking such great care of us. Thank you so much! I highly recommend giving it a try.

1 day Maldives maximum - Late from the cruise ship, very flexible. First, dolphins as far as the eye can see. Then a trip on foot to a lonely sandbank with a great photo shoot. The subsequent island visit Himmfushi was very interesting, the food excellent. The highlight is snorkeling with almost body-hugging Stingrays, sharks, moray eels and sea snake, not to mention the most diverse fish of many colors. The board and in the water professional and very friendly. Great photos and videos received the same day. Highly recommended, anytime again.

Fantastic day out on the water! - Locations were great! The sand bank was beautiful, Himmafushi was quaint and local, and the snorkeling was absolutely incredible! I would definitely recommend it for a short stay in Maldives. I would say, while the guides were nice, took photos, and were helpful, that there wasn't much information or guidance. The day was very "relaxed", which isn't necessarily bad, but just so people know what to expect.

An amazing day - The tour was all good. They are locals, so they knew the waters and knew were to see all those colourful fish. We swam like we were in an aquarium. We also saw lots of stringrays. They took us to a sandbar too. They also took us photos, which was a plus. I truly recommend them 100%. It is worth it to do this tour. We had a great day.

Great choice for one day trip in Maldives - It was a great experience. In just one trip you get to know what Maldives is all about. Amazing schedule, amazing staff. It is also very important that they are easy to get in touch with if you want to ask something before the trip.

AMAZING day!!! Absolute MUST - We took a quick taxi to the port and then we were on our way! The guys were so nice and explained the day’s events. The sandbar was beautiful and they were always ready to help take a photo. We then went to the most AMAZING snorkel site with TONS of beautiful fish, many stingrays, moray eels, a shark….it was insane it was so incredible. The lunch was pretty good as well and bought some pretty coral necklaces during the stop for lunch. One thing I can say is the next day we did a snorkel excursion from our ship and paid DOUBLE (no lunch included) and they took us to two spots that was nothing in comparison. We kept thinking how fortunate we were that we had such an amazing day before. Thank you so much for everything, we had such a fabulous day! *we purchased iPhone watertight cases from the little store next to the lunch spot. They were $5 each and worked PERFECTLY! We got the most amazing videos and trust me, you will want to video!!!! Wish I could load my videos. They also have an options for $10 to send you video from their GoPro 👍

Not for me - The boat crew were late and not prepared, they showed up about a half hour late with the boat and then waited another half hr as a car showed up with water bottles and had to unload and carry to the boat. All while we sat on benches in the heat, the boat was old with benches on the sides, the toilet was in a space with a rough toilet and no paper for women. The water was warm. The crew were nice and accommodating, the sandbank was nice, the snorkeling was great but the equipment was old. The lunch was really bad, first we docked away from the main dock against a rusting old barge, we had to climb on the barge and through it to get to the dock, there was trash and debris strewn all around that we had to wade through, we then had to walk about two hundred yards just to get to the boat docking area for guest boats, we followed them to a room up some stairs where they set out a serving dish of rice and one of chicken curry, we got one glass of cane juice? A coke cost extra, it was hot and uncomfortable, not what I paid for, I should have looked for a more expensive excursion on a catamaran with a real toilet and cold drinks, a stop at a resort or restaurant for lunch would have been more exceptable!

False advertisement and not worthy - It’s fair on the service. What I am not happy is that 1. Advertise for private tour but actually it’s in a group. This is a scam and I am not happy 2. Mentioned that the drone is usd 15 per pax. But unfortunately it rises to usd 20 and when questioned they are not aware of this. We are the victim here 3. The conversion rate is higher than expected . Local conversion rate applied and depending on themselves 4. The drone picture and video is so pricy as only cover 1 places. This is not fair and only 30 minutes. 5. The drone coverage is not properly mentioned and when asked, she mentioned to contact the other guy which is a driver of the boat and also handling drone. This is not good and I am sharing this for the improvement and wanted rights as a customer. I am paying for experienced and this cheating scheme by saying “I don’t know and cannot see what is advertising “ is a stupid excuses.
