What an amazing holiday our family had. Fantastic for adults and kids, surfers and non surfers. The surfers in my family had excellent waves and the logistics were excellent in being transported via boat to surf breaks or if they preferred, there was surf right at the resort. The service was first class and the cleanliness of the rooms were the best I had experienced. All the staff made us feel very welcome and Sylvia from Perfect Wave Travel ensured every finer detail was sorted for us, so the logistics were so smooth and made it a stress free overseas holidays. The water was as magical as it looks in the photos. The standard of the food and quality of the buffets was the best I have ever experienced with plenty of fresh healthy options. Fun activities throughout the day for non surfers so it made for a fun and active holiday with time left over for soaking up the sun in the plentiful hammocks hung all throughout the resort. Exceeded our expectations in every way.

We have just returned from 10 days surfing, staying at Kandooma. This was all arranged through the team at Perfect Wave, and was for me a bucket list trip. As someone who had read about the Maldives as a surf destination in Tracks when it was still printed on newspaper its been a long time coming.

From my initial reach out to the team at Perfect Wave noting was too much trouble we were even able to alter accommodation options a week or two out. The Perfect Wave team on the island were fantastic and the options for different surf locations each morning and afternoon on the boat gave us plenty of different breaks other than the main break on the island, if you wanted to explore.

Also traveling towards the end of the main surf season worked out perfectly, there were days when I was surfing on my own for hours or with just one or two others.

For those of us with partners and children this is the perfect destination as there is plenty to keep the non-surfers happy from the fantastic snorkeling off the beaches to the day spa, gym and kids club.

Will we go back, without a doubt, the place truly is paradise and the team at Perfect Wave make the whole process easy and hassle free.
If you want perfect waves in a great location surfing with a great crew, get onto the team at Perfect Wave and book yourself a trip of a lifetime.

This was the perfect vacation ever and it was way over our
expectations!!!
It started with the great help of Sylvia who helped organizing everything and also last minute changes in the dates. It was also the care and sending greetings to our birthday and 21st anniversary. It has continued through seamless arrival transportation to the resort and with the supper welcoming at the resort by the Perfect Wave team who arranged and provided great trips to the nearby spots and share their knowledge on each peak. In addition, when the waves dropped, they arranged a boat trip to the north Atoll to surf other well known spots and score great wavs!!!
We warmly recommend this company and cannot wait for our next one 🙂

Kandooma was exactly what we needed for our family of four. Surf, relaxing, great accommodation and snorkelling. The island was great and super well maintained.
Charlie provided us with great service and organised all our arrangements and adjusted anything we needed. The prompt service made the organisation of the trip seamless.
There was a slight discrepancy once we arrived on the island in wording between whst Perfect Wave and IHG Holiday Inn provided in terms of snorkelling trips. This was taken on board quickly by Perfect wave and clarified. They also appreciated this feedback and look to update into the future to minimise any confusion for future travellers. This shows a progressive and adaptable business who were great to deal with.
Charlie provided great advice before we left for food arrangements which was super helpful and gave us a clear understanding of what we needed to budget for.
The app Perfect Wave used was so good and really handy with all our flight times etc included.
For Australians travelling and US dollars being the currency used for payment on the island, be prepared for a fairly expensive trip. Perfect wave always made this clear and transparent so there wasn't any surprises which was great.
We got small waves most of the days but that is surf travel but we still had fun. I would definitely go back as the wave itself is super fun. The warm clean water was incredible so no complaints there.
Buffet breakfast was so good and set us up for a full day of activity. The employee service was second to none and they went out of their way to make our stay a super enjoyable and relaxing one.
Thanks again Perfect Wave and Kandooma.

Mishu, Aloc, Raj, captain, chef and the rest of the crew on Gurahali down the southern Atolls were awesome!! Best service and personal care you’ll ever get, Mishu and captain took special care to ensure our whole family (10 total including couples) was surfing breaks within our comfort level (and sometimes pushing it but in a good way) and that the non-surfers in our family also had lots of options for snorkeling, island adventures and fishing. I could not recommend a better action-packed family holiday. They even went to their own personal efforts to create a stunning surprise engagement for me, as requested by my now fiance. The personal touch was above and beyond and the chef was exceptional!

By far the best trip I’ve ever been on!! Pretty dreamy to be able to surf amazing waves with awesome people and choose which waves you wanted to surf everyday. Stevo and everyone working with him at Kandooma were first class and always available to help whenever you needed it. We stayed at both Kandooma and Como Cocoa. While at Como Cocoa they were extremely accommodating and were still able to pick me up for boat trips and transfers even to surf Kandooma right. They even kept me updated on the current conditions so that I didn’t miss out when Kandooma turned on. Being from Florida, USA, getting to the Maldives was a trip of a lifetime for us. We brought our three younger kids with us and they loved it! Lots of other kids for them to play with and Kandooma even has a kids club which they loved. It gave us plenty of time to relax and enjoy ourselves. The food, service and accommodations at Como Cocoa are next level! Definitely worth checking out!! Thanks again to everyone that made our trip literally perfect!! I wish we could do it every year!!

The best holiday i have had in my life - great waves, the resort was amazing, staff were great, the service was top class, food was great, the boat transport to the breaks and surf guide knowledge spot on - I was on a solo trip had a ball, but great for families - all the grommets were frothing and mums n dads were loving it!! So much stuff to do for the non-surfer as well - The Holiday Inn Kandoomah has something for everyone

So stoked after one of the best surf trips of my life! Everything was made so seamless through Perfect Wave and it was such a pleasure to let someone plan the trip for me after years of doing the hard yards. I can't believe how good the trip was and how uncrowded the waves were. The best attention to detail. I will definitely be back. Thanks for organising everything!
