Dream vacation - The most beautiful experience and dream holiday ever. The Indian Ocean simply breathtaking. Beautiful fish and ideal for snorkeling. A stilt house is highly recommended. And so restful to sleep and so much privacy and peace. Highly recommended to enjoy peace and quiet on a dream island.

Kudos to the team for a memorable experience - The Full Fun Adventure trip exceeded our expectations! The boat team ensured our safety and comfort, while the Snorkeling Guide made the underwater experience unforgettable. The sandbank was a picturesque paradise, and the Local island visit offered a glimpse into Maldivian culture. The picnic lunch was delicious, served on a very comfortable boat. Highly recommend this tour for a perfect blend of excitement and relaxation. Kudos to the team for a memorable experience—we're already planning our next adventure!

Good spots - At first, there was a 3hour delay. Mechanical problem on the boat. We wasted our halfday at the Hulhumale Jetty Port.. Though, the crew and tour officials are nice, helpful and all, particulaly Ms. Melony of UI Travel. The tour is fair for its price. Very good snorkeling spots, excellent sand bar, very good food. All in all, this trip is fair for its price. Next time kindly fix or test the boat first.

False advertising, much wasted time, but nice staff and great snorkeling - The tour missed A LOT of aspects that were advertised: there were no beach towels, no changing rooms, no restrooms on board, no shower facilities, no tea & coffee, no local island tour (unless being left to walk alone is supposed to qualify), no snorkeling before lunch (lots of time spent at the sand bank and at lunch). Giving more than one star for two reasons: 1) the staff were nice, and their GoPro videos were absolutely worth the reasonable price; 2) the snorkeling was good, we saw a huge number of fish - but even this has a caveat: the staff on our boat and others fed bread to attract the fish, which is a harmful practice. Through a walking tour the next day I learned that other companies like Secret Paradise have more sustainable practices.

Missed the boat - The lesson here is that speaking the same language and communicating are not the same thing. We never met up. We arrived an hour and half early. Made the first call that we just got off the ship and we're told we would be picked up shortly. No one ever arrived. Three calls later and 15 minutes after tour started a girl who spoke clearly said we were in the wrong place and had missed the tour. No more contact. $150 Gone I guess

No response - I was emailed a ticket with no information about where pick up location was. When I reached out via trip advisor and what’s app number. I never received a message or response. I deserve a refund. Don’t use them. They don’t respond

RIP OFF - So they did not take us on the boat, because they did not have our reservation. After a call to one guy from the company he offered trip next day (which was impossible for us, because we flew away that day) and than he offered full refund for the inconvenience. We accepted this resolution and went to their office, but there was different guy and there it started. He started with "the boat left on time and you were late". Funny because first of all the departure time is listed on 9:30 am and the boat left 9:15 am. But that was not the problem because we have been there from 9:00 am, talked with the boat staff, showed them our tickets and then they refused us, because we are not on the list. Then after some arguing he said that if we want refund we have to ask for it online via VIATOR. Which we did, but shortly came response, that refund is declined, because boat was on time and we were late. So I again responded to them, again explained the situation, but until today with no answer. The VIATOR help team is unable to do anything with this. So yeah, great experience and lost 151 dollars for nothing.
