Though it is a late review, it is the one I just had to write as the experience was awesome. I visited sand bank and dolphin cruise with Mash from Secret Paradise. Maldives in itself is a beauty, sand banks are the most amazing thing one should definitely see while in Maldives. I was travelling alone with my daughter and Mash made it a wonderful memorable trip for the little one. Ruth from Secret paradise arranges all the activities and is very punctual and apt in replying to all your queries. During these pandemic times they are taking utmost care with very less group size for everyone/s safety which I loved.

Went on 4 hour walking tour with Mash who was very informative and entertaining. Tour is quite flexible and he will adjust to suit. Note ended up being just me on the tour so that part was easy. Got to see all of the major sites. Some places are further away like the Tsunami Monument but if you want to walk there they can be flexible. I went on the afternoon tour when it was hot, would recommend morning tour if you have the choice.

Our party of 8 booked the Snorkeling Adventure Tour on Feb 23, 2020 with Hey Maldives. We were not aware that Hey Maldives had contracted the tour to UI Maldives thus this review. This tour was a nightmare to HELL! We are seasoned travelers and never had we experienced what happened on the seas! We arrived at 8:55 am to the pier expecting to board the boat as our tour starts at 9am. The boat Rep informed us, we leave at 9:30am as they were waiting for 18 more people for the boat. And here we understood we had booked a private group tour and not a large group tour?? 9:30am, he says another 15 mins, then another 15 mins. By this time, it is after 10 am. We board an old unkept and dirty boat but do not leave right away while the motor is idling and we wait. We ask why are we not leaving yet? No reply! Then a big group of 13 come aboard and we hear the Rep say we only have room for 8. But they let them on anyways! The boat was already full with no more seating capacity! And where do they sit? They all head to the front of the boat and stand and sit on the front of the boat, which is clearly UNSAFE, DANGEROUS and ILLEGAL! There is a sign stating MAXIMUM capacity is 30 and we now have 39 passengers! And this does not include the crew of the boat! We raised alarms about sufficient life jackets for everyone as boat is over capacity. The boat Rep claimed there is enough life jackets for everyone but failed to give everyone one! With an over capacity boat, we go ahead and leave. By this time, the seas are rough for our 1 ½ hour trip to the Sand Bank and way too rough to do any snorkeling at all. We leave the Sand bank about noon. By this time, the weather had changed more drastically with strong winds, choppy seas and high swells. Our boat ride back to shore was a nightmare! The boat rocked from side to side and I was very afraid that the boat would capsize and with insufficient life jackets for all! During our ride back, passengers fell out of their seats and on to the floor, while others screamed for their lives! Clearly, we were all alarmed for our safety. Fortunately, we arrived close to shore without any incidents. The tour included picnic lunch and instead they pulled 2 boats side by side and served lunch on another boat that was also full of passengers. We did not want to have lunch and insisted to be taken ashore as we all had enough of this tour! It is clear this tour is not as advertised! After much arguing, the boat rep agreed to take us ashore on another smaller boat. Registration # of the UI Maldives boat P1779A-02(01-G). We notified Hey Maldives immediately about this tour and how unsafe and dangerous it was at sea. They agreed to a FULL refund which has never materialized! DO NOT use either company as they have NO regard for tourist safety!

Booked the whole-day sandbank-snorkeling-dolphin watching excursion with UI. Not only were they the cheapest among several providers I explored, their service-quality surpassed all expectations. They didn't call off the tour even though we were eventually the only guests to have booked the tour that day. In many other parts of the world, there would be a fine print and the tour company would take refuge under that. Here, we had a dedicated boat and a crew of three, just for our family. The guide (Riz) and the coordinator (Kochi-bhai) were both top-notch; extremely polite and courteous, they made our sandbank, canoeing and snorkeling experience a thoroughly enjoyable one. Riz took us literally by hand and showed the brilliant corals, shoals of magnificent fishes and majestic stingrays. While returning from the sandbank and just before boarding, our specs got accidentally dropped from the canoe into the sea. We didn't realize it until we were about ten minutes away from the sandbank, and even though it wasn't explicitly anyone's fault, Riz immediately assumed responsibility and requested the captain to turn the boat around. Once close to the spot, he dove and swam, and after less than ten minutes' search - voila! He dove deep and came up with all three pairs one by one! We were speechless, and thrilled beyond words! Even though the dolphins chose not to bless us with their sighting, it was still a perfect day for us. Cannot recommend UI enough! Also thanks to Harshad at their front office, and to Melony, UI's boss who handled logistics very efficiently from behind the scene! Keep up the good work!
