          Great!
          I’ve done many dives, but the team here really stood out. They are professional, attentive, and ensure safety is always the priority. The dive sites were well-managed, and we explored some stunning areas full of marine life. Highly recommend for both beginners and seasoned divers.

          Scammer
          No communication whatsoever. They took our money and wouldn’t respond to us. Stay away from this scammer. I have sent him messages, called numerous times and no response. Not a good business practice.

          Amazing Memories in a Tropical Island 🏝️🌺☀️
          I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional experience we had during our stay at the Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma. The variety and quality of the food at the buffet were truly remarkable, offering a delightful mix of international flavors and local cuisine. The dining experience was on par with the high standards of The Asian Kitchen and Kandooma Café, making every meal a memorable one. The resort's kid-friendly amenities significantly enhanced our stay. The kids' club, in particular, was a standout feature. The dedicated staff there were exceptional, keeping our little one engaged with age-appropriate and fun activities, allowing us to enjoy some much-needed downtime. A special mention must go to the entire team across the resort. The reception staff made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived and were always ready to assist with a warm smile. Lastly, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the doctor who took great care of my daughter during our stay. Your team's professionalism and kindness truly went above and beyond, and it did not go unnoticed. Thank you once again for creating such a memorable and enjoyable experience for our family. We look forward to visiting again in the future.❤️🙏

          Informeren
          Awful, they feed the sharks and we didn’t know that. They told us eveything but they left out the part that it would take half an hour to make photo’s with a drone while feeding the sharks. People would lay in between them and were even touching them. Would be better if they told the tourist beforehand so they can choose a different kind of tour.

          Day trip
          The day I went it rained so spent most of the day sitting under cover and eating. It would have been better if the time there had been less.

          Make your life easier
          Speed boat transfer was easy and starigt forward. They pick you up from airport and guide you to the speed boat and then you're off to the resort. Although i am not familiar with prices of speed boats but i found it a bit on the expensive side

          We had an amazing trip
          We seen dolphins, nurse sharks, turtles & sting rays. The staff were really nice & the food was good. We also received underwater photos of us swimming with the sharks the same day.

          Not reliable to contract excursión trip
          We never went. We reseeved weeks before we went. Only in the evening before the trip to Gulhi Island was cancelled. Excuse used was that several people would hace cancelled participation. This is far too late to informe vía email only.

          Excellent Experience!!!
          The vacation on Mafushi was great!!! The snorkeling, swimming with nurse sharks was memorable experience and would recomended it to everyone. Was scared at first when i saw those sharks and rays but our guide was so nice i explained everything that I would definitely do it again. Even the small boy was swimming with sharks so it was quite safe.

          I do not recommend this company! Ruined the last part of my dream holiday!
          Totally ruined my expensive holiday!!! We left our all inclusive 4 star resort 1 day earlier to do my dream tour - whale sharks and manta ray snorkeling! One day in advance we got the information that the tour was cancelled due to bad sea visibility. We got an offer for a tour with nurse sharks instead. I already booked my transfers to go with private speedboat and a hotel in Maafushi so we had to accept the second option. When we arrived to Maafushi the same morning we got the information that the whale shark tour left 30 minutes earlier….. the same tour we where informed that was cancelled….. We were soooo disappointed and now tuktukdude do not answer our complains. Very unserious company, be careful! The tour we did instead was nice but to many people on a very small boat.

          Do not book through this tour operator!
          Booked to do snorkelling at 1 point and a sandbank. I turned up at the meeting point and message the tour operator my exact location. After 15 minutes I still heard nothing. I waited an hour past the time of arrival still waiting for the tour operator to turn up but they never showed up. I messaged them a couple of times and had no response. I have now wasted a whole day, I was really looking forward to this trip and have been let down and upset Do not book through this tour operator!!!

        We 4 friends went for scuba diving from mafushi islands maldives. We book our scuba diving day tour from arena hotels.
        Price is approx 120 to 130 dollars including photo videos n scuba gear.
        I had really wonderful experience. Guides are very profession and friendly.
        Best part is that you dont need to be swimmer to do this tour. Guide will make you very comfortable inside water jist follow thier instructions. All scuba gear was upto mark. Water is crystal clear and underwater scenery fishes and other marine life is very beautiful. Scuba diving duration is approxinataley 15 min.
        Maldives all activities are cheap and best.
