Henry,
We had an excellent surf trip to the Outer Atolls in the Maldives!
Everything was well organized . The crew and our surf guide were very friendly. Our surf guide always found the best spots to surf with no crowds. Unfortunately the waves were not as big as we expected, but that is life.
Florian is already planning for the next trip![]()
Cheers
Stefan

Justin,
Just a quick note to say that the trip on the Handu Fahli was exceptional.
Both my son and myself enjoyed every minute of it.
Pete the surf guide was extremely helpful and very easy to get on with. A great bloke.
The crew were great, and when they got to know us, and relaxed, they were unreal.
That last two weeks I will never forget.
Thanks for organising it.
Cheers
Best Regards,
Dave Alexander

Hey Sean:
I just wanted to write to let you know that our trip was absolutely unbelievable. We had some tough wind conditions in the beginning, but Haku and the crew knew where to be when the conditions cleared. We surfed Five Island for the majority of the trip because it worked best with the wind conditions. Then, we scored Blue Bowls for the last few days of the trip, which was absolute perfection. The boat was nice, but even better were Haku and the crew: besides Haku's knowledge of the area, he and the crew were super gracious, fun, and soulful. We learned a lot from them. Finally, Gaafu Dhaalu is an incredible spot: the surf is all time, the reefs are intricate and alive, the people on the islands are cool, and it is incredibly remote. Basically, it is a trip we will remember for the rest of our lives.
Hopefully, we'll get a group together to go during March in a few years.
Thanks again for all of your work.
Cheers,
Dave

Sean –
Just wanted to drop you a quick line and let you know we had a fantastic time in the Outer Atolls, the trip was flawlessly planned – thanks. The crew on the Handu Fahli was friendly and our surf guide was exceptionally knowledgeable. Definitely will go back, perhaps in March next time.
Best,

Hi Alinda
We had a blast!!!!!!!
the surf on the 1st week was he best surf all of us have ever scored but it took a turn for the worse the second week as the wind started to blow & blow for 6 days straight between 20 - 30 mph, Hakoo said it was unheard of for this time of the year. But it didn't get us down to much as Wales won the rugby six nations grand slam on day 8 so we decided to make the most of the remain nights with a lot of partying & beer drinking. The crew on the boat we the best bunch of guys we have ever meet by the end of the trip they weren't just the crew they were all good friends & I would like to think they felt the same way about us. Every evening we would hang around the back of the boat & always involve them in the welsh sing songs, the games & the jokes, by the smiles on their faces & the laughing it made our trip to be one of the best trips we have all have ever been on, we have all came back with stretch marks on our faces from laughing so much.![]()
I would like thank you Alinda for sorting everything out it all went like clock work to hassles with transfers or flights you truly are a dam good travel specialist & one I will recommend to anybody wanting to go east side on a surf trip.
Thanks again, I hope we can book another trip real soon.
Lee & the Welsh boys

Stu asked that I forward some shots to you of the Handhu. My buddies and I were on board Mar. 19-Apr.4 and had a fantastic time. The boat was pristine, the crew was top notch and fun, the food rocked – and the waves, well, they were just the icing on the cake (especially Love Charms at double to triple overhead).
I hope I get the opportunity to travel with your team again. It was simply awesome.
See you in the water…
