    Amazing
    nuestra guia/instructora estela hizo de mi experiencia increible. fue muy amable. nos hizo fotos increíbles con los animales marinos a todos e intentó que no perdiéramos detalle del avistamiento de tortugas, nos ayudaba a llegar al punto donde estabamos si quedabamos rezagados del grupo. ademas, a pesar de qie estuvimos nadando lejos del barco buscando las tortugas, nos recogieron con el barco para no tener que volver nadando. sin duda vale la pena cada centavo que pagué.
    our guide/instructor Estela made my experience incredible. he was very kind. He took incredible photos with the marine animals of all of us and tried not to lose detail of the turtle sighting, he helped us to get to the point where we were if we were left behind from the group. Also, even though we were swimming far from the boat looking for the turtles, they picked us up with the boat so we didn't have to swim back. definitely worth every penny i paid.

    Great choice to choose Kaani
    Great Experience with Kaani Tours.. The staff took good care of us and Special Thanks to Laura who took great Photos and always looking after. The Team are professional and the Day Trip with every Cent you pay for. Best choice to choose to stop at Maafushi for a couple of nights at Kaani Palm Beach before leaving Maldives via Male Airport back to our home country. Maafushi has a lot of offer compare with other Local Island and believe me the Trips with Kaani Tours team would be the greatest choice!

    Hiring Moosa was the best decision made in the Maldives
    Hiring Moosa ( Moana Trips ) was the best decision made in the Maldives, the excursions are the best! Fun, exciting and your photos and videos the best memory! Moosa is an excellent photographer and guide!

    He explains and gets involved as one of the group! I pour the best option! ...

    He is a friend forever! we will be back

    Wonderful
    One of the best experience i had in my life. We went to K explore trip. It costed 50$ per person. I never expected I can swim beside sharks and stringray fishes. It was so good. And lunch at sandbank was awesome. Anyone visiting maafushi must go for this excusrion. My wife was so scared to get into water. The person who took us for ride helped her to gain confidence and we were able to get couple photoshoot with sharks and other fishes. Thank you so much. People visiting Maldive, stay at maafushi as many days as possible and go for different excursions every day. Don't go for beach and water villas stays and waste money. Don't spend your hard earned money on private island. Stay 3/4 nights at maafushi and enjoy all excursions. One can finish trip for couple under 1.2 lakhs including flights from India if you don't visit private islands and can go back with numerous memories.
