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.

Truly Paradise

5.00My colleague and I booked 3 point snorkelling trip on a Friday during Ramadan. Ruth was fantastic in communicating and organising the tour, keeping us in the loop with accurate information. Nafsha and her team, including an assistant and a driver, led the tour on Friday 6th March. They were incredibly patient with me, a non-swimmer, and didn’t rush us at all. The three snorkelling stops were amazing, allowing us to see the incredible sealife of the Maldives. I would definitely recommend Secret Paradise and plan to return soon.

5.00Had my trip today. Absolutely amazing. Previously, I had another tour with guideyourguide, and the snorkelling experience there was poor. But this tour was wonderful. Nafsha pointed out so many interesting sea creatures, I got to see a turtle, many stingrays, a few sharks, and dozens of dolphins between the dive spots! Kudos to Nafsha and the team for a great experience!
Excellent adventure

5.00Wonderful excursion. I recommend it to all ages and swim skills. You don’t even need to know how to swim as they have life jackets.

5.00This tour operator really came through for us when another one canceled and left us hanging at 9am. Ruth was a real professional and found a way to save the day for our group and got us going by 1030am. Really appreciate her determination for delivering value when it's needed. I'm a business owner myself this is what it takes and this is why Secret Paradise is one of the trusted and highly rated operators in Maldives. And her guide Sha Mohamed is just amazing, very patient, calm and helpful throughout our snorkeling adventure. 10 out of 10 for this operator, highly recommended!
Fabulous snorkeling safari

5.00We had a fabulous snorkeling experience with Secret Paradise Maldives. Our very nice and friendly tourleader and snorkeling guide Kamei picked us up at the cruise jetty on time. With only a group of 8 people in a small, but comfortable boat we went to 3 different snorkel spots. We got to see many different species of colorful fish, sharks, rays and other sea creatures. The water was very clear with high visibility. Kamei took good care of all of us and pointed out the most interesting marine life. As an extra bonus he took some amazing videos, he sent to each of us. Only after each snorkeling the way back in the boat was a bit challenging. The ladder was quite high and the steps not very comfortable. But all the crew were very nice and helped us to get in. I highly recommend Secret Paradise Maldives and would take them for a tour again.
