A country of astonishing contrasts

We’re just back from a fascinating two weeks exploring this huge and beautiful country. Sand, mountains, ancient tombs, heritage villages, modern cities, great food for veggies like us – and a genuinely warm welcome from everyone we met. What a special trip it was to be some of the first tourists. Exodus leader Sara and local guide Samir were exceptional, our fellow travellers were great company and the hotels all good. Long days of travel – but worth it to see so much of the Kingdom.

Great manta experiences

A very enjoyable week on the Felicity in the Maldives snorkelling, diving, island visits, a couple of very interesting talks and a fun evening of entertainment.

Most Inspirational Moment

Diving and snorkelling with mantas, up very close and playful.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Zaff was very enthusiastic and tried very hard to make it a great trip for everyone.

Advice for Potential Travellers

We spent 3 lengthy sessions in our dhoni over 2 days searching for whale sharks and found none. There are alot of boats looking for manta and whale sharks and at times sightings are a scrum. If you are a diver, it is worth taking the opportunity to dive. The coral isn't what it used to be but there are lots of fish varieties, hawksbill turtles, sharks. Getting up so close to the mantas for so long was very special. You don't need to bring any equipment, it is all supplied. If you do pack your own don't bother bringing short fins, they are not suitable. If you want mobile coverage during the week buy a pre-paid sim at the airport. If you don't do that the captain will provide wifi on the last day so you can do the Maldives exit form and checkin online. I am not a great sailor but the sea conditions were not too uncomfortable, the worst times are the channel crossings at the beginning and end of the trip. The transfer to the Felicity on arrival day is at 12pmish. If you arrive earlier, you will be taken to a waiting area whist the group gathers and the boat is got ready. I had to hunt for a fair while to find Zaff and the Exodus sign at arrivals so keep looking.

Coastal secrets galore

Amazing country packed with beautiful birds , wildlife, scenery and friendly people. Hot and humid in February a bit of rain but not cold unless at altitude.

Most Inspirational Moment

Snorkelling at Drake Bay

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was Ana and she went out of her way to give us a great holiday experience. Not everybody in our group had the same opinion and were challenging at times.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring lots of bug spray, an umbrella for short showers when poncho would be too hot. Water shoes. Rash vest for snorkelling in for Drake Bay. Take a day bag - note you will want to use your day bag when your suitcase and hand luggage is in transit between hotels.

Wonderful experience

Overall it was an outstanding experience. We got to challenge ourselves while in the hands of an extremely good guide, who kept us safe. The Dolomites are truly amazing.

Most Inspirational Moment

The trek to the top of Strudelkopf, yes that really is the name of the mountain. But the strudel came later. Other than the fact that Hotel Adler is such a fun place to stay, its most impressive feature is its authenticity.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jeffery may very well be the best leader I’ve ever known. He clearly cares a great deal about the people he guides. He knew how to read situations and the pulse of the group. He did so in a friendly way, and demonstrated endless patience.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you have plenty of clothing combinations. Various layers that can be interchanged with each other. We left out a rainproof layer and that was a mistake. Train for it, it is going to test you.
