Surfer Reviews

"Surf Paradise Found"
I've surfed all over the world from J-Bay to Pipeline, and I was genuinely surprised by the quality of waves in the Maldives. This package delivered everything a surfer could want - consistent, uncrowded waves, knowledgeable guides who knew exactly where to go based on conditions, and comfortable accommodation that catered to surfers' needs.
Our guide, Ali, was exceptional - he knew every break intimately and could predict which spots would be working best each day. The full-day safari was a highlight, allowing us to hit multiple breaks in one day as conditions changed. I scored perfect barrels at Sultans and long rides at Chickens that I'll remember forever. The video analysis sessions were surprisingly helpful even for an experienced surfer like myself. The only downside is that the package is a bit pricey, but considering the remote location and quality of the experience, it's worth it for serious surfers.

"Perfect for Intermediate Surfers"
As an intermediate surfer with about 3 years of experience, I was worried the Maldives might be too advanced for me. This package was perfect because the guides were able to match us with breaks that suited our ability level. I spent most mornings at Ninjas which was perfect for my skill level, while my more experienced boyfriend could surf Sultans with the advanced group.
The coaching was excellent - I improved more in 5 days than I had in months at home. The video analysis was eye-opening and helped me correct some bad habits. The surf villa was comfortable and I loved the convenience of the board storage and outdoor shower. The only improvement I'd suggest is more food options for special diets - as a vegetarian, the choices were somewhat limited. Overall though, an amazing experience that I'd highly recommend to surfers looking to improve in paradise conditions.

"Great Waves, Basic Accommodation"
The surfing aspect of this package was excellent - the waves in the Maldives are world-class and much less crowded than other destinations I've visited. The guides knew exactly where to take us each day based on conditions, and I had some of the best sessions of my life at Jailbreaks and Sultans.
However, I found the accommodation to be more basic than expected for the price point. The surf villas, while functional, could use updating, and the food options were somewhat repetitive by the end of the stay. The surf-specific amenities like board storage and the repair shop were great, but the overall resort facilities didn't quite match the premium price. That said, if you're primarily focused on scoring great waves rather than luxury accommodation, this package delivers where it counts - consistent, quality surf in a beautiful setting.
