All in all a very nice experience, even with the masks we could feel the smiling welcome :) The check in process was very structured, safety rules were well explained and it felt very professional.

Ruth answered all emails so quickly and helped us decide on a resort that fitted our particular needs perfectly. She also treated us with so much respect over, my little worries, of travel during Covid. She always treated us as valued customers.

Secret paradise were perfect for helping us plan our trip to the Maldives Nov 2020. Ruth answered all emails so quickly and helped us decide on a resort that fitted our particular needs perfectly. She also treated us with so much respect over, my little worries, of travel during Covid. She always treated us as valued customers. It was a pleasure to meet her in Male. Mash, our rep was so friendly and helpful with each transfer and made everything seem so easy. He was so helpful with issues on a PCR and got it fixed very quickly.

It was unexpectedly good because the services from our guide and the host family were awesome. We could really taste the Maldivian style of food and visit local house at Hulhumale.

The half day tour includes taking us to the local market for buying food and to the host family for lunch.

Ruth mentioned to me, that there is an exceedingly good amount of fish life in the area even though the reefs have been impacted by bleaching. Within a minute of entering the water we saw a mobula ray, which was fantastic, as well as blacktip reef sharks and a myriad of reef fishes. There is loads to see!

I had a fantastic morning snorkelling with Mash on the speedboat. I booked last minute after discussing the options with Ruth, who went out of her way to reply even whilst out on the water.

In the end I decided to do a morning local snorkel trip to three different spots not far from Huhlumale. It turned out I was alone on the boat which was lovely and relaxing. Mash picked me up at my hotel and is extremely friendly, polite and knowledgable, so we had really good fun freediving together.

The reefs around Male have the extra difficulty of being affected by local construction work and island reclamation, in addition to severe coral bleaching due to global warming (similar to much of the Maldives). Ruth was completely honest with me about this when I enquired to the status of the reefs we would visit, which I very much appreciated and did not put me off booking. Indeed there are small patches of coral recovery, but the general outlook for the coral is bleak. Nevertheless as Ruth mentioned to me, there is an exceedingly good amount of fish life in the area still. Within a minute of entering the water we saw a mobula ray, which was fantastic, as well as blacktip reef sharks and a myriad of reef fishes. There is still loads to see and it was nice to freedive down the wall drop off and check out the overhangs!

From my brief trip, I would highly recommend the company, which is very friendly and treats their staff well.

Thanks for a great morning guys

After spending 6 days at resort with not-so-amazing house reef, we decided to spend our last few hour before catching our flight back home snorkeling.We were really blown away by the variety of fish and we had a great time. Their representative was professional, caring and the trip in itself exceeding our expectations.

Ruth was most helpful at arranging our private snorkeling safari trip at such short notice. After spending 6 days at resort with not-so-amazing house reef, we decided to spend our last few hour before catching our flight back home snorkeling three different spots close to the airport.
We were greeted by Secret Paradise’s representative (I’m really sorry but we’re really bad with names and we have forgotten!) at the airport and after a short taxi trip to Hulhumale’s port, we started our snorkeling trip which lasted round 2.5 hours. We were really blown away by the variety of fish and we had a great time. Their representative was professional, caring and the trip in itself exceeding our expectations.

Right from the beginning though it was fun. The boat ride was great and they took us to the sandbank which was a pleasant surprise in the middle of nowhere.Marsh is a superb guide and took time to guide me along the slope where one can see the maximum marine life.

Maldives was a dream destination for my husband and me after 20 years of tying the knot !! We had planned and emailed Secret Paradise in advance for our trip so we only had to call them upon reaching.
To be frank, I wasn’t expecting much out of this Sandbank & snorkeling tour. We were the only two people on this tour along with our boatman Momo and snorkeling guide Marsh.
Right from the beginning though it was fun. The boat ride was great and they took us to the sandbank which was a pleasant surprise in the middle of nowhere. They helped us with our snorkeling gear and then Marsh led us around the shallow areas. My husband was a little uncomfortable though so he returned to the boat and then Marsh and I went towards the deep blue. What I saw took my breath away. Marsh is a superb guide and took time to guide me along the slope where one can see the maximum marine life. Then we swam a bit and Momo literally did a photo shoot for us !! Then we went to another spot for more snorkeling and knowing what my husband was missing, we kind of convinced him to come with us.
Marsh held him by his hand and guided him along the reef while I swam on my own. Almost absorbing the shapes and colors, trying not to miss anything. I was like a child in candyland. It was the most beautiful and amazing sight I have ever seen….. so serene….
We are very thankful to both Momo and Marsh for giving us a memorable time. They excel. And thank you Secret Paradise for a wonderful tour. I would certainly recommend SP.

We had a wonderful experience and would love to do more activities with secret paradise when we come back to the maldives. The price is very good for all activities compared to the private island resorts and would definitely recommend anyone who are looking for an adventure!

Highly recommend Ruth and her team. The guys were fantastic the whole day and were very helpful with certain group members who couldnt swim. We had a wonderful experience and would love to do more activities with secret paradise when we come back to the maldives. The price is very good for all activities compared to the private island resorts and would definitely recommend anyone who are looking for an adventure!
Thank you Ruth and team.

Our family of four booked a last minute day trip out to the islands of Huraa and Himmafushi as we had a day to spare before an evening flight out. The trip included a walking tour of each island as well as lunch and an afternoon snorkeling stop. This trip one of the highlights of our current vacation

Our family of four booked a last minute day trip out to the islands of Huraa and Himmafushi as we had a day to spare before an evening flight out. The trip included a walking tour of each island as well as lunch and an afternoon snorkeling stop. The guide was Ube, pleasant and personable as well as being an underwater expert. Ruth in the office is a star and was extremely helpful. Their work made this trip one of the highlights of our current vacation. We will gladly come back and book another trip with you, should our travels take us on a return to the Maldives

I did the local islands (Himmurfushi and Huraa) day trip and it was just an outstanding experience! I absolutely enjoyed every single bit of it from the amazing snorkeling spots, beautiful beaches, meeting the locals to the delicious lunch.

Gulhi beach was soooooooo clean I had a chance to swim. My guide was informative and took good care of me in snorkeling.
