I had a great full day Male' walking tour with Secret Paradise Maldives. I hadn't come to the Maldives for a resort holiday but was mainly interested in the local history and culture of the people. My three tour guides Shaffaf, Hamty and Nafsha didn't disappoint, on the contrary. We spent the morning on Malé, visited many places like the fish market and the Old Friday Mosque, and then took the ferry to Villemale. I heard so many interesting stories that completely changed my idea of the Maledives, for the better. Greatly admire the efforts of the Save The Beach-initiative on Villemale, too. I'm happy that Secret Paradise Maldives supports this type of local groups so that they benefit from the visits of foreign tourists, too. Highly recommended.

This is a great tour for anyone who wants to understand the history and culture of the Maldives. Yes, you can visit most of the sites on your own, but Archie really added a lot of value with the information and insight. Also really enjoyed the visit to Vimalé island. Felt very, very different from Malé. Great to hear about all the restoration work the island’s NGO is doing to preserve the reefs. Do note, this tour is a lot of walking and also a lot of time in the sun. Be prepared with lots of sunscreen, water and comfortable shoes. Overall, would recommend.

So very small Male island. Ask your guide for the bus ride..its slow, takes an hour but main street travel is eye popping..moped city!! Ask your guide if you can eat LOCAL CAFE..Full plates small price! Fish Market to see beautiful reef fish caught that evening FRESH FISH is a dream. Fruit Market, expensive! So be careful what you pick! Souvenirs and Supermarket weren't too high priced. Oldest Mosque was special they dress your head for $20 then take the scarf after visit! You can see nearly all of Male in an hour and a half but we walked slow and took it all in, just being with Maldivians and smiling and talking (when you can) was just a lovely experience. We were there from 9.15 until 4pm..but the last 2 hours we just people watched while we waited for our return boat. Weather was horrendous at times, tropical rain is heavy! Had a wonderful day off the Island though, don't miss this trip if you can go. $65 per person.
