Say Yes Adventures Bewertungen 88

This tour was a dream come true. Who knew it was possible to travel to the Maldives on a budget? Kara, Tash and Ash all made this trip so easy, fun and memorable. We had some bad weather but still got to do everything we wanted to with some flexibility, excellent communication and a passion for problem solving. This tour shows you the best of Maldives wildlife, while connecting with locals and culture. My favourite part aside from the stunning wildlife was the local sweet treats on different islands where you learn about the local way of life. Thank you to Say Yes for making this happen. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to see other tours you start!

Best trip!
Kara and Tash are amazing! They will do anything to support you before and during the trip. They are so accommodating and just the kindest people. The trip was amazing and we experienced and saw the most incredible things. I would highly recommend to Say Yes to this trip of a lifetime!

Say Yes to the best - fun friendly and knowledgeable ladies, the trip was amazing nothing was too much bother and accommodated last requests. 💯 recommend and they have no age limit I’m 53 and had the time of my life - the activities were great and plenty free time to enjoy sunbathing - see you next year ladies

Once in a lifetime trip!
An amazing trip on 3 different local islands. Experienced paradise beaches, local food and island life. We saw so much marine life on various snorkelling trips.
Kara and Tash go above and beyond to make your trip the best it can possible be.

Say Yes Adventures totally blew me away. From start to finish, Kara and Natasha had everything well organised. The itinerary flowed perfectly, and all the little details were taken care of so I could just relax and enjoy myself.
This trip gave me such a confidence boost. I got to try things for the very first time, step outside my comfort zone, and meet amazing new people. The vibe was so encouraging and uplifting that I felt comfortable doing stuff I probably would’ve hesitated to try on my own.
If you’re not sure about joining a group trip, honestly, this is the best way to start.
I’d recommend Say Yes Adventures 100%. You’ll come back with unforgettable memories, confidence you didn’t know you had, and friends who feel more like family.

An amazing trip that I want to do all over again ✨🩵

As someone who has done over 10 group trips before, this was one of my favourite group trips that I’ve ever done! Kara and Luke were absolute gems at organising everything - keeping us updated with clear and regular communication and going above and beyond to reschedule as many activities as they can that got cancelled due to high winds / rough seas. They also were super helpful at helping us do additional activities that weren’t necessarily communicated as a ‘traditional’ add-on, such as swimming with nurse sharks! (Which I’m super grateful for and will always remember Super Shark Saturday!!)

The overall itinerary was perfect and included 3 lovely local islands (which I felt got more and more beautiful as we went on the trip!). The itinerary is packed full of great activities and the trips to the sandbanks were beautiful. There was a nice balance between included activities and those that you could add on, meaning it was great for people who perhaps had different budgets.

The quality of the hotels were great (the last island was my favourite and definitely the nicest hotel) and the locations of the hotels to the bikini beaches was super close. Each hotel provided beach towels too which was handy! The staff at those hotels were also so kind and accommodating. Breakfast was good and always had enough options. Kara and Luke had amazing recommendations for dinner each night and always booked us an option somewhere if we wanted dinner as a group (which we all did!) and really helped us bond as a group.

Finally, the group I had for this trip was out of this world with about half of the group in their 20’s and half in their 30’s. As someone who was 34, I was curious to know the age demographic but it was a real good mix of ages and if you are up for fun adventures and undertaking new experiences - it doesn’t matter what your age is!

I’m so grateful for Kara, Tash and Say Yes Adventures for making this all possible - I’ve met friends for life 🩵 and would recommend Say Yes Adventures to anyone!

Top tips:
- definitely do the resort day pass add on - the resort we went to was incredible and it really brought us together as a group bonding-wise!
- pack insect repellent spray! Everyone found that they got bitten on Digurah the most!
- you can buy small bottles of sun cream on the islands and it’s not too expensive but bring enough from home as the sun is very strong! For other essentials, I always spotted items such as shampoo, conditioner etc in the shops but would recommend bringing some with you.
- bring USD cash if you can as everywhere accepts it!
- say yes to as many of the add-on activities as you can as they made my trip extra special!

Take this as your sign to say yes!

I had the most amazing time in the Maldives with the best group of people. Kara and Luke did an amazing job of being tour guides and ensuring that all activities could take place or get rescheduled if the weather initially prevented any. Everyone got along so well which was definitely due to all the shared meals and activities together. I feel as though all my requests and queries were listened to and taken into account (in regards to rooms) and I was given so much help with any questions and emails I sent. This particularly relieved any initial stress I had as this was my first time solo travelling.

I highly recommend booking extra nights at the start or end of the tour if possible, as I got to enjoy some peaceful island life by myself at the start and then spend some extra time with the friends I had made at the end of the tour.

Everyone on the tour saw the most amazing marine life such as Manta Rays, Whale Sharks and Turtles - this was due to the boat crew trying their absolute best to find any animals and taking us to the best locations.

I wouldn’t change anything about this tour. Thanks so much for such an amazing time and unbeatable memories!

Amazing tour! Maldives has always been on my list and I’m so glad I booked on this trip. Luke and Tara were the bests hosts and made sure we were always kept informed. They made sure everyone had a great time. Maldives is stunning and I would recommend you visit the local islands for an authentic experience on this tour!

This was my first group trip and it really exceeded my expectations. The guides Kara and Luke were quite patient, knowledgeable and flexible. The activities were carefully planned to ensure that everyone had a great time and bonded as a team. Super shark Saturday and Halloween night were especially fun activities and the memories will surely last a lifetime! I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone (male or female ).

This really was a once in a lifetime trip! It was really well organised meaning there was no stress just good vibes everyday with the best group of people. I came away having seen wildlife I never thought I’d be lucky enough to see and having made new friends/travel buddies. A big thank you to Kara, Tash, & Luke for making the Maldives an accessible and affordable trip, it really was fantastic.

What an amazing tour run by the best people you will ever meet (Kara and Luke). It was my second ever group tour and what a great bunch of people to spend it with. I would highly recommend doing in and paying extra for the additional tours as these are 100% worth it. I would say one of my favourite days was the day resort as this allowed us to get to know everyone better and enjoy the beautiful views. I am defo recommended this to everyone and would definitely do again in the future.

Absolutely the best Group trip you will ever join! You’ll spend days in absolute paradise, making friends, eating local foods and see wildlife only a hand full of people ever get to see.
Thank you Kara & Luke for making this my favorite holiday and showing us the beautiful Maldives!

Michaela was our wonderful kind professional guide on this trip from April 17 th to 26 th 2025. Kara and Tash were available 24/7 to answer any questions before and during the trip. I have no hesitation in recommending this say yes holiday.
We had a fantastic group of 13 ladies and we all got on really well which made for a fantastic family like experience. We got to see the true authentic Maldieves on a budget. We saw turtles, sting rays, manta rays, reef sharks, nurse sharks and many colourful fish while snorkelling.
We experienced 3 different islands and could use rental bikes, paddle boards and kayaks.
We saw many sunrises and sunsets, sand banks and lots of wildlife. We also had a chance to do some fishing and had a fantastic barbecue dinner on the beach that evening.
The food was excellent and lots of choice available. There is no alcohol on the island but honestly we were so busy and up early and in bed early I did not miss alcohol at all. We have the chance to pay for a 4-5 star resort which was amazing and well worth doing. Lots of food drinks and activities available and we also saw the amazing waterfront accomodation.
We went on a party boat to see the sunset and had a few drinks. We saw how local women made coconut oil and we were able to purchase oil which was amazing. Pure coconut oil with zero additives.
I would highly rate this holiday to the Maldives and hope to come back soon. The staff in all the 3 hotels were amazing and very helpful. Our bags were collected from our rooms and transported to vehicles and delivered to the next room which was a great help as some accommodation did not have lifts. All accommodation is very close to the beach or in the beach.

A trip of dreams, stunning island locations and a well facilitated itinerary by Tash and Kara.

This was an action packed trip, with plenty of optional activities such as Scuba diving, a resort day, watersport hire, messages and more.

Although this is absolutely a budget trip with a great insight to what the Maldives has to offer on the local islands, the resort day certainly gives you a glimpse of a more expensive type of holiday.

All accomodations were in great locations, however the 2nd accomodation on Dhiffushi Island was not the best, as the room did not have any natural light so a little bit dark. With 3 of us were crammed into the smaller room, it was a little tight for space. A sea view room in this hotel would have changed the experience.

As much as we were all busy doing activities on all islands, the heat and humidity is alot to get used to, so often we would go back to the rooms for an hour in the air con here and there, so it is definately worthwhile to have a nice room to relax in.

Coming on this trip solo, we got lucky that everyone came by themselves, so no cliques and plenty of like minded people to share the experience. A good variety of ages in our group from 21-50's and the first all female group I believe.

Notes:
-Remember your mossie spray, especially for the last island!
-Slip on sandals are the best footwear as most shops require you to take off shoes to enter and also barefoot beachwalks are the one
-A linen shirt is spot on for respecting local culture, but more so ideal for covering the shoulders from sunburn.
-The final island is a little more pricey, so try do all of the watersports before if possible.

A fabulous trip with some unforgettable experiences. What can I say, the Maldives is paradise!

Say Yes Adventures turned a far-off dream into a reality. I always thought the Maldives was only for honeymooners or lottery winners but Kara and Tasha proved otherwise. Their group trip was not only affordable, it was packed with once-in-a-lifetime moments I’ll never forget.

From swimming with stingrays and dolphins, to snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, to bonfires on the beach under the stars, it felt like something out of a movie. The balance of planned activities and free time was perfect, and staying on the local islands gave us an authentic and down-to-earth experience.

Everything was so thoughtfully organised. I didn’t have to stress about a thing, from transfers to accommodation to excursions, Kara and Tasha handled it all with genuine care and enthusiasm. You can tell how much heart they pour into every detail.

As a solo traveller, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I left with a whole group of new friends, some I know I’ll stay in touch with for years to come. The vibe was warm, inclusive, and full of laughter from day one.

If you’re even thinking about booking with Say Yes Adventures, do it! It’s magic. Thank you for the memories, the friendships, and the adventure of a lifetime. I’ll be counting down the days to the next trip!

Wow! What a way to see the Maldives! Never in a million years did I think I’d be able to visit this dream destination yet Tasha and Kara at Say Yes Adventures have made that a reality!

From snorkelling, diving, beaches, boat bars, bonfires, fishing and more I could not have had a better experience. I was skeptical about group trips in general but the price is so reasonable for everything included (beach front hotels, snorkelling tours, meals, fishing etc!!) and everyone including the tour guides were so so lovely and accommodating!

I couldn’t recommend this trip anymore and will continue to shout Say Yes from the rooftops!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever have the opportunity to visit the Maldives, but "Say yes Adventures" made it happen. This trip was everything I expected and so much more.

Kara & Tash clearly put so much effort and detail into planning the group trip. Everything was so well thought out and so organised. Everyday my mind was blown from the sheer beauty of the Islands and what they had both planned for the group. I dont think I have ever switched off like this before and questioned "where is my brain" lol. Having the opportunity to see Dolphins, swim with Sting rays, sandbanks, campfire on the beach under the stars... the list goes on. I spent 10 wonderful days with amazing people, lots of laughs and lots of fun. I highly recommend using "Say yes" and when they offer more trips I will be signing up again. Fab trip!

I’m not sure there is enough space to truly describe how incredible my experience was with Say Yes Adventures. Never in a million years did I think I would ever make it out to the Maldives. But here I am having just gotten back from the holiday of a life time.
Not only was this trip incredible value for money, Kara and Tash had thought of every last detail. Meaning I could simply switch off my brain and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience, and all I had to do was ‘say yes’.
This trip completely pushed me out of my usual comfort zone. Allowed me to experience things I never thought possible, and see wildlife in their natural habitat I never thought I would.
Not only that I have come away with friendships that will last a lifetime.
Say yes adventures made it extremely hard to leave and yes I did have a cry on the tuk tuk to our transfer. But they were happy tears.

If you’re even thinking about booking with Say Yes a little bit, please, please , please just do it. You won’t be disappointed!

Oh wow. This really has been the holiday of a lifetime. Kara and Tasha had thought of everything to make this group trip so special. Nothing was ever too much trouble and all of the staff on the islands were super friendly and helpful.

The planned itinerary around the local islands of the Maldives was perfect! They included a good amount of free time as well as amazing included activities to experience the marine wildlife and local culture of the country.

Our group had a diverse mix of people ranging from 18-60 and everyone got along so well and was made to feel included. I have definitely made friends for life.

I would encourage everyone to book with Say Yes Adventures if they want a truly unforgettable experience. But be warned, it will become the holiday that you compare every future experience with because it is so magical!

Without a doubt this is the best way to experience the Maldives… and on a budget!

I can’t wait to see what other destinations Say Yes plan in the future, I would 100% book a group trip with them again. Thank you so much!

What an unforgettable 10 days! Staying on the local islands gave us such an authentic Maldivian experience, and I would definitely recommend it over staying at a resort. We had the chance to learn and explore so much! There was no shortage of activities during our free time, from snorkelling to diving. Tasha and Kara were incredible — I couldn’t have asked for two better guides to share this adventure with. The hardest part was saying goodbye to them and the amazing new friends I made. 😭 I’d do it all again in a heartbeat ❤️
