Fantastic Day of Snorkeling - Highly Recommend - What a fantastic day! We snorkeled two different areas seeing reef sharks, octopus, turtles, more fish than can name, and starfish. Our guide, Kamey, was very informative and made everyone, even the less experienced snorkelers, very comfortable in the water. We snorkeled about 1.25 hours at the first stop and enjoyed a leasurely walk with watermelon at the sand bar prior to snorkeling for about another hour. We ended the day watching dolphins play as the sun set.

Excursion in the Maldives - A private speed boat with Ub and his crew. Enjoyed 3 different diving sites. Saw several different types of fish, string rays, dolphins, & a shark in open waters. Stopped off on Himmafushi for photos ops and a quick bite to eat. Afterwards went to a sandbank for more photo opportunities! Ub handled all cameras and assisted with amazing shots! Cruising back to the port had fresh watermelon and a beautiful sunset.

Great snorkeling and sandbank tour with Nafsha - On April 20, 2024 I did this tour with Nafsha. The tour was amazing. We went snorkeling in two spots where I saw the beautiful reefs, a reef shark, and many stingrays. Knowing the tide was descent high, I wasn’t expecting much of the sandbank but was pleasantly surprised to find it quite enjoyable since the water was pretty shallow. Nafsha really took great care of me, showing me tips for snorkeling and helping me with the snorkeling tube. She was very knowledgeable about the religious practices, cultural traditions, and the marine life in Maldives. She also brought me a delicious coconut while I was staying on the sandbank. Even though I forgot to bring my dry clothing which I packed in my luggage, Nafsha went out of her way to help with my transport back to Malé to ensure that I could catch my flight and onward trip. The highlight of the trip was definitely the surprise spotting of Dolphins on our way back to Hulhumale. It was genuinely a beautiful scene to see! I would definitely recommend the tour if you are untested in doing some offshore activities around Malé.

Very nice tour, worth it! - Very nice trip with very nice and helpful guides! There were only two of us, although more people would have been possible. This was very pleasant, compared to the other "overcrowded" boats with tourists, whose tour groups consisted of at least 10 people.

Solo travelling at ease in Maldives - I arranged a sunset cruise with Secret Paradise a few days before my arrival in the Maldives. The customer service was really helpful in answering all my questions and they offered an unforgettable experience during my stay. The two local guides made me feel very safe, as I was traveling alone, and I experienced everything that was listed in the tour. I would definitely recommend Secret Paradise if you are looking for a quick exploration around the Atoll.
