Exploring the vibrant underwater world while snorkeling was a highlight I won’t forget, especially with playful dolphins swimming by. However, the boat ride to the local island felt a bit crowded at times, taking away from the otherwise serene experience.

We had an amazing time snorkeling and spotting dolphins, truly unforgettable moments! The local island tour added a nice touch, although the transportation back felt a bit cramped at times.

From the moment we boarded the boat in Malé, the excitement was palpable, especially when we spotted dolphins gracefully swimming alongside us. Snorkeling among the colorful coral was a breathtaking experience, though the boat felt a bit crowded at times, which made it tricky to fully enjoy our time in the water.
