I contacted Ruth at Secret Paradise to ask if they could provide a private day trip to one of the islands that would fit in with our Cruise times. She was most helpful and said they could taylor our trip to the timings. We booked a full day trip to Huraa including private transfer, lunch and a one hour couples massage. When Ruth heard we were doing the cruise to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary she e-mailed me to say that they would arrange a complimentary tour of the island with our private guide.
We were met by Archie our guide at the cruise port, from start to finish of the day he was very friendly, polite and knowledgeable. He gave us a good insight into the culture and life on the islands which was much appreciated. Following the tour of the Island we were left to lounge on the beautiful beach at the hotel dipping into the turquoise waters when needed. As our day included lunch we went to the restaurant to eat and were greeted by a waiter who escorted us out of the restaurant and to a secluded spot on the beach where a table for two had been set up, it was beautiful. This was such a surprise. During the afternoon we had our couples massage.
At the end of the day Archie arrived to pick us up for our return to the cruise port by speedboat. I asked who had organised the lunch location and he said that Ruth had. Secret Paradise made this a very special day for my husband and I and we really appreciated it. I would highly recommend them to anyone going to the Maldives.
