Informative walking tour on coral reefs and environment

Published on Dec, 2024

One has to take a ferry boat to Villinmale in Male. The journey is around twenty minutes, Villinmale on map is just east of Male and on Google map is shown as Villinggili. But because a bridge linking Male is being built, it will be called Villinmale just like the island with the airport is called Hulhumale. Only electric motorbikes and buses are allowed on this island. Due to the effort of the NGO organization to educate the students, this island is more ecologically conscious and there’s much less strewn plastic bottles and garbage. The NGO taught students can learn scuba diving to restore the coral beds and to care for the environment and have now in turn able to educate others as well as going into marine related careers. This island is not big as it took about five thousand steps to walk around. This is the first time I’ve seen and tasted Sea Almonds. Coral restoration seems to be making progress. One method is using hexagonal shaped and coated rebars to anchor bits of corals. The students know that their islands are there because of the corals and the beaches are also related to corals. I hope the success of this NGO’s work can be populated to other islands.

Fantastic local tour company with a focus on sustainabilty

Published on Nov, 2024

We have just returned from an island hopping holiday organised by Secret Paradise and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Ruth and the team offered a faultless service from literally the moment we arrived at the airport to the moment we left the airport. The guides are knowledgeable, efficient and friendly and having their help to get boats and taxis made it a stress free experience. We also did a tour of Vilimale island next to Male, our guide Kamey was absolutely brilliant and a massive hit with our kids as well. the tour was in conjunction with the local conservation NGO and we really learned alot about conservation issues in the Maldives. All in all a fantastic experience and service from Secret Paradise!

I can't recommend Secret Paradise highly enough

Published on Sep, 2024

I can't recommend Secret Paradise highly enough. We did two walking tours with them, the 4 hour Male walking tour at the start of our trip, and the 4 hour Villimale Eco Tour at the end of our trip. Both were absolutely fantastic. Ub was our guide on Villimale, along with Bebe from Save the Beach. This was a fantastic and eye opening experience which we're so glad we did. The banter between the two of them was great and they made us feel like friends as soon as we met them. HIGHLY recommend if you're thinking of doing any tours while in the Male area to book with Secret Paradise. Our experience on the tours was fantastic.

Great tour!

Published on Mar, 2024

A truly educational experience about the environmental effects of political and structural changes in the area, and the efforts to diminish and reverse the impact on the reefs and beaches. Really enjoyed learning from Irene, Archie, and Nafsha, as well as having some local snacks with them.

Inspiring eco tour in Villimale

Published on Jul, 2023

I’m so happy to join such a meaningful Eco Tour to Villimale. I heard the detailed explanation from the founder of the NGO “Save The Beaches Maldives” what they have been doing to save the beaches and ocean of Maldives. We walked around Villimale and learned how the place changed. I also learned how they conserve the corals and educate people to protect the environment. Together with the guide of Secrete Paradise Shark, we had a tea time, enjoyed some local Maldivian snacks and talk of exchanging each other’s cultures. What a wonderful experience! I will come back to Maldives and hope to see you guys again!
