The reefs of the Maldives are famous for reef sharks, sea turtles, eagle rays, sting rays, and more. This 3-hour tour with TripAdvisors' leading Hulhumale tour company takes you to three snorkeling spots filled teeming with marine life and colorful coral — an ideal escape from the capital area of Male or Hulhumale. Discover the underwater world of the Maldives with an experienced and certified snorkeling guide.
Your snorkel guide will not only act as your ‘spotter’ to point out marine life that may not have caught your eye, but will assist less confident or inexperienced snorkelers, ensuring your equipment is comfortable and you feel safe in the water.
Through education of both guests and locals we strive to protect the environment in which we operate and limit wherever possible any negative impact preserving this country's unique location for generations to come.

Guide Archie was fantastic! Best fish sittings I’ve ever had snorkeling. He was very patient with my getting back to comfortable snorkeling after a number of years. Archie is a real asset to Secret Paradise.

We had such a wonderful experience! At first point we saw stingrays and many colourful fish swimming just next to us. Second point we saw turtles and another reef fish and at the third point we saw sharks and beautiful coral reef. I would like to say spacial thanks to Archi and his team as they approach was very friendly and helpful. We were first time snorkles and we would not see ocean beaty without their help. Would go any day and time with them, loved it!

Our small group had a fabulous time snorkeling. We went to three different stops and saw thousands of fish. Right away we snorkeled on top of large Stingrays - a thrill for every one of us. We saw a lot of very colorful and strange looking fish that I wish I could identified. We did see Needlefish, Parrot Fish, and some very brightly colored iridescent blue fish. And a later stop, we saw Black Tip Reef Sharks, Green Sea Turtles and a Hawksbill turtle. Our three guides were very attentive and we felt very safe in their presence. They were instrumental in helping us see a variety of fish. They went out of their way to accommodate our needs and help us get in and out of the boat. We highly recommend this tour!

We didn't have the best day weather wise, but it turned out well. The guys who took us were gentle, kind and patient with me, even though I'm uncoordinated when it comes to getting into the boat. I've snorkeled many places around the world, so I wasn't too impressed with just seeing lots of fish, (mainly butterfly.), and the coral wasn't very colorful. But on our 3rd stop, we swam with some very large sting rays & that was a highlight, for sure. We also got to see dolphins diving and keeping up with the boat. The guys gave us water and watermelon too.
