Mobile ticket
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.

5.00OMG.. What turned out to be a work trip to Maldives, ended with this surreal experience.. Ruth was very responsive and accommodating from the first interaction itself.. There was quite some flexibility, as my own plans were fluid.. I ended up doing a private tour, with Waseem as my guide/trainer/supervisor.. He was on time, patient, and extremely accommodating to the requests.. Would highly recommend this tour company!!

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!

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.
A perfect place, especially for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts

Excellent Maldives Snorkeling boat trip

5.00We booked this activity for our visit on a cruise ship. There were 4 retired couples on board a modern speed boat. We were picked up at the pier by Archie, put into 2 taxis and driven to the boat. A ten minute boat ride got us to the first snorkel spot and provided with mask, fins and floatation vest. We were well prepped as to our dive along a reef edge. There were two guides in the water with us; one leading and the other following. We spotted small sharks, clown, zebra fish and others. After about a half hour we got back into the boat to go to the second site. There we saw rays, eels and other different fish. The third spot was a leisurely drift snorkel along another reef where we just floated in a slow current along the reef to the boat. The boat driver and two divers were very attentive to our various swimming abilities. We all felt very safe, supported and enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it.

5.00I can understand now why this activity gets so many 5-star reviews. The operator is highly responsive to needs and best interests of customers to ensure best-in-class service and experience. We seek advice of how to store luggage before our transport to our resort island. They responded promptly and gave really good advice. On the day of bad weather, for the safety and best interest of customers, they cancelled the trip. We have received refund in less than 24-hour. We really appreciate all the great service and ease of mind booking this activtity on viator often with the highest rated operators like this. Thank You!!!
Perfect adventure

5.00Shark was an amazing instructor! He taught us so much about ethical practices and showed us nurse sharks, turtles and different kinds of fish. We enjoyed the adventure and learnt a lot about Maldivian sea life. We recommend Secret Paradise to everyone!
