Additional Information
Enjoy a day exploring a small part of the Maldives archipelago. We combine snorkel points with a local island tour, lunch, time relaxing on a sandbank and complete the day with a sunset cruise in search of dolphins. Your tour starts on a beautiful sandbank set in a blue lagoon approximately 45 minutes from the capital. Relax under the shade of a sun umbrella, swim in the warm waters or snorkel the house reef. An ideal location to learn to snorkel with your guide or refresh your skills. Between islands we offer the chance to snorkel, keep your eyes open for sea turtles, reef sharks, and rays the Maldives are home to. Cruising north we visit the island of Huraa offering firsthand information about local island life and time to take lunch. As the sun begins to set we cruise in search of dolphins, there is never a guarentee of sightings but when we are lucky watch them jump and perform! NOTE: There is a minimum number of 2 travellers required for tour to operate.

Do this! Just superb! - From start to finish, this was everything we had wanted it to be and more.
Shaa and Habee, our hosts for the day, were just amazing. Full of knowledge, fun, smiles and snorkeling joy.
I can't thank Secret Paradise enough for this amazing day.
We will have memories for years to come after being lucky enough to swim with sharks, sting rays, turtles, an amazing array or sea life, and to see so many playful dolphins.
Just the best

Perfect Maldives Excursion - Loved the day trip and managed to have the boat to myself. Mash (my tour guide) from SP was very accommodating and gave me a lot of information about the Maldives and sea life.

Amazing tour of the islands surrounding Male' - I joined the full day adventure with my boyfriend back in February 2020.
The tour is really incredible, I personally took this tour before heading to a remote island to see some different scenarios but I would highly recommend it also to people that only have 1-2 days in Maldives maybe as a layover.
Mashe, our guide has been incredibly kind and such a fun and approachable guy.
The highlight of the day for me it has defintely been the sandbank <3
Also a note to mention is that Secret Paradise is LGBT friendly - not something to take for granted when travelling to Maldives.
Hope to be back to Maldives next year <3 and mayeb try another tour!

Full Day Maldives Adventure - Hi Secret Paradise Team,
I have just returned from the Maldives trip and I would like to write this email to say big thank you for the crew went together with us.
You guys helped us to have the full experience with the hearty caring along the trip: from guiding me how to do snorkeling patiently, playing with my kids so that we have own time to explore the natural beauty, taking pictures for my family to save each single memorable moments....
All things that impressed me so much. I am highly appreciated.
Absolutely sure, I will recommend Secret Paradise for my friends. ;)

3 days in Maldives - A big thank you goes out to the whole Secret Paradise team ( Ruth, Mach and Shannon: the captain) who has made our trip so much easier and made us discover many places in Hurra island, Hulhumale, Ghuli, Maafushi, sandbank, mangroves and aquarium where we did the snorkeling... it was amazing!
We really spent very memorable moments with Mach and the captain in very short period.
I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to visit Maldives.
Hope see you again :)

one day in the maldives - we spent one day in the maldives during our cruise stop over
i had been in contact with ruth months in advance so we could hire a boat for the day instead of an over priced shore excursion
we were greeted on time at the jetty and off we went with a couple of great guys
our guide a young man named mash was everything any one could want
he was professional and a great pleasure to spend the day with
he took us out to the first island for a walking tour and an expaination on local life
we then sat down for a cold drink and mash left for a little while
on his return he had a cake for us with happy 30th anniversary on it ,what a wonderful surprise and a great touch
after our cake it was back in the boat to go to a snorkling spot that was unbelievable
Mash helped my wife with her gear and even took my camera to takeunderwater photos for us (the guy can swim like a dolphin lol)
after snorkling we went to another island for lunch that was equally impressive
All in all it was a very wonderful day all made possible by secret paradise
do your self a favor and book direct forget cruise ship excursions these people know how to treat guests
thank you Ruth and Mash for making this part of our holiday a treat
oh yes and thank our captain to he was awesome as well
