Island Port Tours

A wonderful first time in the Maldives. Friendly staff. Beautiful surroundings. A few things to note: snorkelling trips will need you to bring your own snorkels, don’t forget to bring sun cream because the gift shop charges $60+ for a bottle of Nivea spf 30, and the food is good but the meals are the same/similar each day. The gift shop is expensive, as are the snorkel trips and scuba diving. Surfing also chargeable and IMO, extortionately priced

The island is breathtaking. I stayed in an overwater bungalow and it was absolute perfection. Very clean, verrry comfortable. I recommend the buffet over the restaurant. The restaurant meals were very hit or miss. Some of the service was excellent, others seem miserable and distracted. Saad at the dive school is a fantastic teacher for those who are first timers to snorkeling. If youre a smoker, bring your own cigarettes as a pack is $35 at the bar. If your a non-smoker, be aware that people smoke in pretty much all public spaces. My suggestion would be to bring USD and tip great servers, concierge and bartenders well ($20) early in your stay - it will elevate your experience 100%. They will go out of their way to make your stay the most comfortable.
