Highly recommended - I would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Male / Hulhumale. Since we were scheduled to go to one of the private resorts where snorkelling as a paid activity would be very expensive, we decided to stay an extra day at Hulhumale to do this activity, before going to the resort. The arrangement was smooth, we were staying at a Hotel at Hulhumale so were picked up in their transport at 9 AM from our hotel and then dropped off at the starting point, where the organizers met us and escorted us to the boat. We were given a short orientation on what the day would look like and the different stops we would be making. The first stop was at a sand bar where you can enjoy shallow waters and take photos. After that we went to a local island for lunch. Post lunch, we were taken to the first snorkelling point where we had an amazing experience with sting rays and different kinds of fish swimming all around us. The sting ray were super friendly, and it was an unreal experience with them swimming all around us. Words cannot explain the feeling and this is something that must be experienced first-hand. They even made underwater videos of us with the sea-life for an additional charge of USD 10 per head (which is totally worth it). The crew took extra effort to ensure we had a great time. Since they realized how much we enjoyed the snorkelling at the first point, they made another stop for us a little later where we got to see shark swimming in front of us, and also some coral. Again, it was mind-blowing, especially for someone who is experiencing all this for the first time. If you are also travelling to Male/Hulhumale, do consider signing up for this activity. The crew are very friendly and attentive and will ensure that you have a great time!

Dolphins!! - After initial problems to reach the tour operator regarding some questions, which got solved by Viator, the top was amazing! We saw so many dolphins! I'll never be able to cope with how clear and blue the water is. The snorkeling was also a really nice experience.

Snorkelling plus Himafushi island - Collected by group car from Hulhumale to boat terminal, otherwise 15 mins walk. We got there at 9:05am and waited until 9:30am. Boat took us to Sandbank near Himafushi and then the island itself for lunch. We saw dolphins on the way to snorkelling, both of which were incredible! Then back by 3/3:30pm and then dropped off to our hotel. Friendly and polite crew, fully recommend.

Best snorkeling at Hulhumale! - We were looking for some Snorkeling trip on the day before we’re going back to Thailand. Unfortunately the weather on that day was bad so we can’t make it in the morning. However, Everybody of UI helps us to find another program which is we can make it at noon when the rain was gone. So finally we can go on a trip and staffs on a boat are so kind and gentle. Thank you so much we would love to go back for sure.

Very exciting and fantastic trip - The trip is above my expectation. Snorkeling with thousands of fishes, eagle rays, sting rays, moray, and much more. Lunch at local village of Himmafushi served Indian buffet with drinks. Best of all when we finished the tour, captain took us back to port of Male to save us a taxi trip back to NCL cruise. The crew is friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend U I Maldives.

Wonderful Tour - This was an all-around excellent tour, especially if sitting at a resort all day is not your idea of fun. Boat ride, snorkeling, lunch, swimming, dolphins... The crew was very attentive, helpful, and friendly. The only negative was that they didn't have enough snorkel masks for everyone, but it did work out. I would recommend this tour.
