It's all worth it
I came here to celebrate my birthday, and while the trip started off a bit slow, it just kept getting better with each day. The absolute highlight was spotting a whale shark right beneath me while snorkeling an unforgettable! The crew and guides were fantastic, always friendly and helpful,my dive guide cha cha is like an aquaman once we are off the boat. I’d love to come back again truly a great adventure!

3rd time on this boat, love it!
Each time/trip the dive guides were different but they are always very helpful and make every dive an awesome experience. Maldivian reefs are gorgeous, you never get tired of them. Highly recomend this boat and destination. This time it was the central route.

Thank you for the wonderful trip!
Diving in the Maldives is always an adventure and a great pleasure! Even if the Horizon 3 is not the newest boat and they could do some more maintenance work ( f.e. on the Dhoni and the sunbeds ) the crew was a big gift. Maa‘dhu as the Cruise Director was always keeping up the good spirit on Board and Cha Cha as a Guide did a great job. Also the rest of the crew was always friendly and did a good job!The briefing was great and in detail and the diving often a very good lesson to improve your currents and channel diving skills. The guides tried very hard to make us see everything: all kind of sharks including lemonsharks, lepardsharks and tiger sharks 🥰 and whalesharks and also the healthy corals of the Deep South.It was a great pleasure having such experienced and locals guides!

- Maa’dhu as the Cruise Director and Cha Cha as the Training Guide did a great job!. They prepared us very well for the challenges of diving in the channels and with the current. Besides the „Big stuf“ they also showed us the beautiful corals in the deep South of Maldives.. The kitchen did a great job too. The food was tasty and even adapted for vegetarians 😊.

Great experience for decent price.
Nurse Shar zoo was quite an experience, lots of sharks, whale shark snorkeling was also a success, despite high competition from other boats. Great food and wide variety of it. Highly recommend central route.

Wonderful diving safari in the Maldives with fun guides
Was reunited with my delayed luggage (grateful to have been able to receive it 3 days into the trip) due to a guide who was able to keep in touch with the airport as we were sailing away, Mantas!!!, catered to my vegan diet, friendly guides and staff.
