About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Sightseer521135167180 contributionsInformerenAwful, they feed the sharks and we didn’t know that. They told us eveything but they left out the part that it would take half an hour to make photo’s with a drone while feeding the sharks. People would lay in between them and were even touching them. Would be better if they told the tourist beforehand so they can choose a different kind of tour.Written 27 October 2024
- G5142IXgrantb0 contributionsDay tripThe day I went it rained so spent most of the day sitting under cover and eating. It would have been better if the time there had been less.Written 19 October 2024
- Richard L0 contributionsNurse shark trip - Don't miss!Really enjoyable trip. The crew and organisers were great in the water and took some amazing photos. Would definitely recommend doing this while here 👌Written 16 October 2024
- mohammadsL5731GL0 contributionsMake your life easierSpeed boat transfer was easy and starigt forward. They pick you up from airport and guide you to the speed boat and then you're off to the resort. Although i am not familiar with prices of speed boats but i found it a bit on the expensive sideWritten 21 July 2024
- tarahS3254NA0 contributionsWe had an amazing tripWe seen dolphins, nurse sharks, turtles & sting rays. The staff were really nice & the food was good. We also received underwater photos of us swimming with the sharks the same day.Written 3 April 2024
- pelissen0 contributionsNot reliable to contract excursión tripWe never went. We reseeved weeks before we went. Only in the evening before the trip to Gulhi Island was cancelled. Excuse used was that several people would hace cancelled participation. This is far too late to informe vía email only.Written 12 March 2024
- Jelena B0 contributionsExcellent Experience!!!The vacation on Mafushi was great!!! The snorkeling, swimming with nurse sharks was memorable experience and would recomended it to everyone. Was scared at first when i saw those sharks and rays but our guide was so nice i explained everything that I would definitely do it again. Even the small boy was swimming with sharks so it was quite safe.Written 6 March 2024
- Lifeislife0070 contributionsI do not recommend this company! Ruined the last part of my dream holiday!Totally ruined my expensive holiday!!! We left our all inclusive 4 star resort 1 day earlier to do my dream tour - whale sharks and manta ray snorkeling! One day in advance we got the information that the tour was cancelled due to bad sea visibility. We got an offer for a tour with nurse sharks instead. I already booked my transfers to go with private speedboat and a hotel in Maafushi so we had to accept the second option. When we arrived to Maafushi the same morning we got the information that the whale shark tour left 30 minutes earlier….. the same tour we where informed that was cancelled….. We were soooo disappointed and now tuktukdude do not answer our complains. Very unserious company, be careful! The tour we did instead was nice but to many people on a very small boat.Written 12 February 2024
- katiemJ9542FL0 contributionsDo not book through this tour operator!Booked to do snorkelling at 1 point and a sandbank. I turned up at the meeting point and message the tour operator my exact location. After 15 minutes I still heard nothing. I waited an hour past the time of arrival still waiting for the tour operator to turn up but they never showed up. I messaged them a couple of times and had no response. I have now wasted a whole day, I was really looking forward to this trip and have been let down and upset Do not book through this tour operator!!!Written 8 February 2024
- Voyage662219459170 contributionsGreat staff, lovely parasailing experience!I had a great time at Maafushi, right from the airport pickup to our hotel and the tour experience. The process was very seamless and the staff were very friendly. The parasailing was our best moment, it was so much fun and I also loved that the staff had a drone shot of us in the air. I'll definitely recommend anyone to book an experience with them anytime any day.Written 29 December 2023
- frankrH6640PE0 contributionsFantastic Trip and an Outstanding ValueWe had a fantastic trip to swim with a Whale Shark. Company was very good about helping arrange transfers as this is essential in the Maldives. Weather was rough going out and even worse coming back. As an avid boater myself, I felt very comfortable with the captains skill level navigating tricky seas. Boat, equipment etc was all in new/ like new condition. Guide was awesome. Experience was a little crowded as once a shark is spotted boats are dumping people everywhere, but felt that our crew did everything they could to make sure we had a great experience. I don’t really understand the negative reviews I see, however I imagine those folks were envisioning a more intimate experience. At this price point, the trip they do offer is an outstanding value. For one on one, you really need a multi day private charter, especially if you cant out-swim the herd.Written 15 December 2023
- vlalanne0 contributionsRun away from this Tourist trap !Our worst experience in Maldives! They sell an exclusive experience and a unique trip of snorkeling with Mantas with a local guide in a preserved area…In fact, a tourist trap!!!! 12 boats full of people when we arrived, 80 or more people in the water paddelling with noise, a lot of chinese with life jackets and floaties,a rude guide with no consideration to us and the environnement. Absolutely no Mantas!!!! Normal, they run away this place with so many people…As we must have done! Do not condone this attraction which is more Disneyland than an aquatic reserve! Shame on the local rangers who confuse business and preservation.Written 18 August 2023
- K32LRjeffk0 contributionsUnfaithful Tuktukdude, Poor service and ruined your mood and tripNo recommended. Worst service ever. Don’t fall into their trap. Very disappointed. Tuktukdue collected my payment and failed to pick up from the airport on 20230713. Moreover, they lost contact and no feedback either from my email or telephone, messenger. My contact person from tuktuk is Thisara, tuktukdue. This lousy service was ruined my mood and my family trip totally at begin. Don’t try any service by this company. 沒有推薦。有史以來最糟糕的服務。不要落入他們的陷阱。非常失望。 Tuktukdue 收取了我的付款,但未能在 20230713 到機場接機。此外,他們失去了聯繫,也沒有從我的電子郵件或電話、Messenger 中得到任何反饋。我在嘟嘟車上的聯繫人是嘟嘟車 Thisara。這種糟糕的服務從一開始就完全毀了我的心情和我的家庭旅行。不要嘗試該公司的任何服務。Written 14 July 2023
- mariusbogdanc8970 contributionsExcellentBest organisation. We booked the trip from Male so they covered everything incl private speed boat transfer from Male to Maafushi. Unfortunatley due to weather conditions the ship wreck snorkeling could not be done. However they took us to an alternative location and offered a 17 USD discount. Would book them again amd again.Written 21 March 2023
- Natalie f0 contributionsDisappointedWow what a waste, so many adventures got cancelled because of politics and I cannot get a refund. Very sad. The biggest thing is that you cannot cancel and have a refund… seems money hungryWritten 20 January 2023

A vendor from Icom Tours and Arena Hotels told me that there was no tour operator called TukTukDude….They told me I had to pay 25 USD again to take me to the hotel. I complained to Tourist Police and then they admitted that there was a error on their part. They had received booking.

DO NOT BOOK FROM THIS TRIP AGENCY!!
We are writing this in case anyone else falls for a scam like us!
A group of four of us had a very unpleasant experience with this trip agency called TukTukDude. We saw its snorkeling trip combo in Maafushi on Tripadvisor before we headed to Maldives in July 2019. We contacted TukTukDude directly through email and received a reply from a person called Thisara Kuruppuarachchi fairly quickly. Thisara offered us a 17.5% discounted rate from the rate mentioned on Tripadvisor for direct booking (original rate on TA: US$72pp; price from TukTukDude: US$59.4pp). We were excited and confirmed the booking by paying 50% advance payment via online transfer. Two days before the trip, we reconfirmed the booking with Thisara and he told us to meet at 9am at Triton Beach Hotel. The experience had been fine up to this point.
On the trip day, we arrived the meeting point on time and met with the contact person, Sunny. Sunny was a bit confused and surprised, he said the trip started at 10:30am instead of 9am. It was shocking to know that Thisara told us the wrong time and since the last minute delay affected our original plan in the afternoon, we weren’t able to join the trip. We called Thisara for clarification but he refused to refund the deposit payment to us.
Because of his miscommunication about the time, our supposed-to-be-fun morning got messed up and our money was taken by someone who didn’t do anything. This TukTukDude company is a fraud. Sunny explained that this TukTukDude company is based in Sri Lanka. What they do is referring customers (like us) to an Indian travel company, then the India travel company refers the customers to Triton Beach Hotel. Obviously there are commissions in between these companies. The direct booking price of excursion at Triton Hotel is only half of what TukTukDude costed us. So DO NOT book from TukTukDude.
In spite of this bad experience, Sunny from Triton was very helpful and provided us many recommendations of excursion for the rest of our trip in Maafushi. If you are planning a trip in Maafushi, we strongly recommend you to book excursion directly from Triton Hotel.
