Fantastic Way to See the Real Maldives!! After 3 relaxing days at a private resort island, we were ready for something different. The infinity pool, buffet, pampering, and fellow tourists were all fun, but we were ready to see the real Maldives. We took Secret Paradise's 7-night North Ari Island Hopping tour.
Good email communication with the office (Ruth). Everything was as represented or better. dependable greetings, connections, transportation, etc. per their itinerary. great itinerary to 3 lesser-developed inhabited atoll islands. Good balance between included activites, optional activities, and free time. Good pace of 2 nights on each island. fantastic guide, Kokko. He was informative, kind, and fun, and did much more than the minimum. authentic experience of local Maldivian life. Not a cushy resorty tour, just the real deal. excellent coral, diverse colorful tropical fish, 10-20 meter visibilty underwater.
THIS WAS ONE OF OUR BEST VACATIONS EVER!

I was hesitant to go to the Maldives because i am not a person who likes to go to resorts but more of a traveler who is interested in local culture. Once i found Secret Paradise i decided that i can experience what i like in the Maldives. The communication via email was amazing every question was answered and i asked a lot. The tour i did was to 5 islands and sleeping on 3 my guide Kokko was more like a friend then a guide. I am pretty independent so i felt we had a good balance he travelled with me for 7 days and i can WhatsApp him anytime for guidance or to meet. He helped facilitate additional tours for me even a resort visit. Also the hotels they pick are uniuqe. If u want to see the real Maldives Secret Paradise is your best option and affordable.

The real Maldives...if you want an experience you will never forget put your trust in Ruth and Secret Paradise Maldive Tours. Tailor make as many days as you wish. Visit the wonderful islands of Maafushi, Gulfi and Guraidhoo. Mix with locals, feel part of the customs, culture and individuality of each island. Relax or be as active or inactive as you wish. swim, snorkel and be daring even learn to scuba dive in the most glorious locations... I loved my time in the Maldives. Highly recommend this company.
