It was everything as promised. We were well taken care of getting from the meeting point to the island and back. Save the Beach is doing wonderful work. Only issue was that four hours was too long. Lots of walking.
Great tour!

A truly educational experience about the environmental effects of political and structural changes in the area, and the efforts to diminish and reverse the impact on the reefs and beaches. Really enjoyed learning from Irene, Archie, and Nafsha, as well as having some local snacks with them.
Simply Amazing!

A big shout out to Shark, Irene, and Ruth. They made this Eco-Tour to Villimale was truly an insightful and eye-opening experience. Shark, our tour leader was informed, hilarious, and full of personality as a local Maldivian who guided us excellently by picking us up right from the hotel with an umbrella and walked us to the ferry. We met Irene, an active marine biologist and passionate about saving the beach. She is full of knowledge and passion and doesn’t sell you on gimmicks but knowledge about saving the beaches. We left encouraged and well-informed about the island, eating some local treats, and learning about our footprint as humans. Ruth was a game-changer, since the weather conditions weren’t favorable, she quickly responded for other tour options, was flexible, and attentive to our short stay in Male. I can’t commend this dream team enough and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by their service and passion to the Maldives!
Thank you
