  • Incredible service by Memu. He was very responsive to our messages and helped us get a fabulous tour to snorkel with nursing sharks the next day. He was very accommodating and attentive to drive the speed boat slowly so that the journey is smooth for my pregnant wife. Not only that but we got amazing drone pictures and videos. He has a very advanced drone. We ended up booking two extra tours for the next day for turtle snorkelling and night fishing. Absolutely wonderful. We saw three turtles, and we also caught 4 fish. They tasted quite good.

  • Excellent crew inspired by the ocean and dreaming to pass this inspired experience to everyone they take into their tours! I really love their energy, it drives me! They chased after each whale shark and manta rays, pulling us to be in time over these wonderful creatures, I've never known that I can jump from the boat to the ocean so quickly - and moreover, that I will love it! Mimu and his guys were always next to us, so I was excited, but not afraid and felt myself totally safe. We - my teen son and me - swam with 3 big whale shark enjoying their company, flew with a manta ray and saw dolphins playing around our boat very close. Amazing experience, which most of people never had. The tour took about 11 hours, while the guys offered us a breakfast, drinks, water, a tour on Dighurah island with a lunch, again with drinks, shown us Hulhumale island, where we saw an eagle ray - it's a great luck to see them as they are really very rare to meet. And by the end I experienced a quick ride to my hotel on the motorbike - seems like Mimu is a Maldivian Santa which made all my Maldivian dreams come true at one day.

  • We had an absolutely wonderful experience! The snorkeling trip and the search for whale sharks and manta rays were truly unforgettable. Everything was perfectly organized, and the team was professional, friendly, and made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time. Seeing whale sharks and mantas in their natural habitat was simply magical. It was an incredible adventure and one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend Ameeratravelandtours to anyone looking for an amazing and well-organized tour.

  • If you come to Dhiffushi, you really shouldn’t miss at least one tour with Ameera: Mimu will know exactly what to recommend to help you discover the island and its surroundings. With him we watched dolphins at sunset, explored a different reef every day, saw the most colorful fish, and swam with lots of turtles! The sandbanks with their coral sand were stunning, and Asdu Island is absolutely beautiful. Swimming with nurse sharks was also an unforgettable experience. Trust Mimu’s passion, knowledge, and experience to make the most of the Maldives…for us, he was simply the best!

  • We had a great time exploring with Ameera tours. Mimu is a superb instructor and a super chill and cool guy. We saw everything we wanted and more. Price/quality ratio is the nest here I think.
