What travellers are saying
- Kristýna D1 contribution@shadowpalmmaldives made my Maldivian adventure unforgettable. The experiences they organized changed my life, leaving me with memories I will treasure forever. Swimming with dolphins, sharks, mantas, and even a majestic whale shark was beyond my wildest dreams.
Their team went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of the excursions was flawless. Their passion for the ocean and its incredible creatures is truly inspiring, and it shows in everything they do.
If you’re visiting the Maldives, Shadow Palm is a must. They don’t just provide tours; they create life-changing experiences.
Thank you, @shadowpalmmaldives for giving me the adventure of a lifetime. I will carry these memories with me till the day I die! 💙Written 19 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We are 5 spanish friends that took the tour - Maafushi: Ship wreck & Nurse shark snorkeling with Dolphin watching- and it was fantastic. The place and the animals were incredible, but the best of the tour was, without hesitation, the guide Leire. She was incredibly nice and caring and she showed us the best spots, took the best photos and videos and take care of everyone in the boat the whole time. If you have the option, go with her because you won’t regret!Written 7 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hannah C1 contributionWords cannot describe the experience you will have with Kandu, it is hands down the best thing I've ever done. The second you get off the boat you are welcomed with open arms.
Carla will become your bestie before you even get on the plane, answering absolutely any questions you have, from what to pack to travel recommendations. The knowledge and experience Nazykko and the boys have of the ocean is unbelievable! They always ensure you get the best experience possible.
Agu and Nazykko's photography skills are next level! Be prepared to buy all the professional pics as they are TOO GOOD !! A great way to remember such an amazing experience.
The array of wildlife you can see over the week is crazy, from sharks to dolphins to turtles to mantas the list just goes on! One minute you're on the boat and next you're throwing yourself in the water in the most ungraceful fashion to swim with dolphins.
Each day was the best day ever, for the next day only to top the previous. There's simply no way to pick a favourite moment!Written 12 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ryx44Berlin, Germany1,323 contributionsWe met at the Shadowpalm Tours Store at 6:50 a.m., so we could get ready for our snorkeling trip (Fins, mask, towel).
After we got everything, we went straight to the boat to head over the first stop (sandbank). As I did not opt for the drone photos, we had some time to adapt to the water temperature, which was quite decent btw.
After that we arrived to the nurse shark point, where at first the drone photos took place. The 4 men team were attentive, so everything went smooth. After that, all of the others jumped into the water to make the underwater vids and photos.
Also if you're not the best diver, they manage to make some nice photos (make sure to get a life jacket in the morning before departure, as it could be dangerous to swim in the open sea without it).
After that we tried to see some dolphins or mantas in the deep sea, but later we managed to see some manta rays at the riverbank.
There we got some meal (rice with fruit salad and fried tuna), which was a good portion and tasty as well.
After that we tried again to find some dolphins, but unfortunately this did not work.
Anyway, a great trip for snorkeling beginners and so much to see.
A 5-star-recommendation!Written 13 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
