This was the most beautiful snorkeling trip! amazing sites, great places for fish, wonderful islands..very very nice holiday on safari with Saeed, Alom, Ismail, Liton, Sumon, Sha & Moin. Great food, very fresh, super curry fish from the sea. Big variety and too much. Saeed is great cook. Very lovely BBQ on the beach in Ambara. Also lovely place, Thundurah. Highlight was the Stingray feeding in Fulidhoo and nurse Shark diving. It was amazing to sit on the roof and just look out on the sea. Fablous Sun downers, very relaxed atmosphere. The crew was most polite and very friendly. They read every wish from my lips. We had lots of fun and enjoyed the safari together, laughed a lot and learnt from each other. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for a great holiday. I can only recommend to book a safari with MV AISHA to see the beautiful Maldives.
Crew is very nice and friendly, very helpful. Food sometimes for us very hot and spicy, but really good. Cabins and Bathrooms need really renovation. Tour itself was interesting, saw a lot of nice places!
