I went to the Maldives to find a different side to this country that nobody talks about online..

The Maldives sure has changed a lot since we visited in 1992. All we knew before we arrived was what we read in an outdated lonely planet guide, so we did have a bit of culture shock on our arrival. Tourists were not encouraged in Male at that time, and the resort we stayed at was far away and extremely basic. One of our best travel experiences ever, including some scary and very funny moments. Thanks for this lovely video of your Maldives experience - it truly is a beautiful place.
Pls come back! ✌🏻
@@muhammadxidhaan6706 I would love to! One day…
What were the scary moments? You got me interested!
@@ZalNRed Ok, now remember this was 31 years ago - pre google and availability of up-to-date information, no smart phones. Also, none of these things would happen today - the Maldives and travelling there have come a long way. Scary moment 1 - arriving in Male at 1.30am into an airport looking like a huge shed, we were greeted by military style border personnel with very large guns strapped over their shoulders. Everyone's suitcase was opened and completely searched. 😳 We didn't know that would happen. Scary moment 2 - our arranged boat transfer to an island resort did not arrive at the time we had been advised and very few people spoke English, so it was hard to find out any information - mobile phones were not common and we didn't have one. Also, when we went out of the hotel to look for our boat driver (maybe he was waiting outside..?), the locals clearly did not like us being out there on the street - tourists in Male were discouraged back then. 😟 We weren't aware of 'Maldivian time'.. Scary moment 3 - Once we finally met up with our transfer, the small boat broke down in the middle of a very large lagoon. We were completely alone, islands all around but too far to swim to. So we had to wait, in the sun, for our driver to check engine parts and clean out the fuel filter to fix it. Glad he knew what to do! What should have taken 45mins took 2 and half hrs. The island staff were so relieved to see us on our arrival! So yes a few scary moments, but after that our holiday was fantastic!! 😎🌴🏖
@@noelenehazell8454 you came around December didnt you
Only Ben can turn an incredible Maldives trip into 10 mins 😅 love this one!
SORRRYYY!! I cut out too much think I overdid it
Fr
Naah bestie there aint THAT MUCH to do here
@@Hello-hl2dw the sea life and natural is enough for me 🤣
🇲🇻maldives 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤲🤲🤲🤲🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🙏🙏
I'm glad you saw the other islands because most people just go there to stay at the luxury villas and probably don't realise what's going on in the rest of the country. Like many other places (Dubai etc) I feel like locals and foreign workers would be exploited and god knows what's happening to the environment
As a maldivian, that is a very accurate representation of our country. Stay safe❤
just uploaded a $10 vs $1000 Hotel in the Maldives check it out🇲🇻❤️
Maldivian meets Maldivian (I’m Maldivian)
I'm also Maldivan too
I went to the Maldives in 2021 and it was the best trip of my life. I stayed in an island resort and couldn’t explore the local islands cause of Covid, but the Maldivian people are the nicest and friendliest I’ve ever met
How do you get there?
THANKS FOR SUPPORTING MY COUNTRY.❤❤
My favourite part was 3:45 when you looked the time up on your invisible watch. 😆🤣
I’m from the Maldives, thank you sir for showing my country ❤
Me too
Same
Bro you are one of the best travel guide KZheadrs out here, the quality and the simplicity that you carry yourself with is impeccable
Videos keep getting better and better. Thanks again for uploading.
Ben Morris - the only person I'd stop another video to come over and watch.
I loved Maldives being as a local tourist. I explored unexplored, that's how I feel about my trip. At first I was really anxious but I don't regret it at all. The only downside was, I went in August so I didn't get much of a sunlight 😅 but sunshine was perfect!
měli tam řízek?
keep u the good work , been watching you for years and so good to see you haven't changed your style of filming!
Thanks for showing us this very interesting side of the Maldives Ben!🔥
Outstanding, love your cuts and edits, quick snaps. happy you enjoyed your stay!
I don't known how he does it. every video just gets BETTER AND BETTTER AND BETTER. Keep it up ben!
Great video Ben! Thanks for showing the side of the Maldives we never see!
i love your content, please never stop uploading!
Yooo! Love the new style of filming, Ben! Keep up the good work really enjoyed it
Bens content just hits 💯💯 Thanks for another great vid x
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Come for the videos, stay for the snaps. Hope you're well, Ben!
I just recently found your channel from your Sri Lanka retreat! I love your videos bro!
Ahhhh love seeing a new Ben Morris video!!!
I truly wish for you greater wealth and success in every possible way Mate Ben💯🙁
As a maldivian im sooo happy that you are covering this side of my country btw its really cheap right the villas and the resorts are way wayy too expensive
watching him having his breakfast with a fork broke my heart as a Maldivain.
ur so lucky to live there i went there this summer i love it😊
hey! just a tip i think those were "nurse" sharks, not "nursery" sharks, nurse sharks are almost never aggressive :) just wanted to let you know lol
Love ya ben been watching for a long time - from Maldives
Great video. I've wanted to go to the Maldives, and your video shows the real story other than the luxury resorts.
Keep up the great work! My inspiration!
Your videos are so entertaining and interesting! Thank you for this content ☺️✨
great quality as always 👍
Always love your videos Ben.
Great job, Ben!
Hello!! proud Maldivian here 🤙glad you enjoyed your trip
Finally someone said something, the drug issue there has been horrendous for the past few years
Bengali need not comment, you guys are the one bringing drugs
@@daniyalbbd5281 im singaporean bro, what the fk u chatting
@@daniyalbbd5281 get ur facts right or dont talk at all, thank you
Shohun I agree with you I’m from Maldives and I can tell you that most Maldivians are very dumb and blame there problems on Indians and other foriegn countries sorry about the person above most of us aren’t like that 😊
@@daniyalbbd5281 someone's obsessed with bengalis his name is obviously indian
I'm from maldives and thank you for coming here❤
Love your shark tee, great vid!
As someone who loves the water but has a lifelong phobia of sharks (thanks Jaws) that was really impressive. I don't think I could do that! I have seen small reef sharks while snorkeling but quickly swam away
I too have covered Maldives stay for two persons at dirt cheap price in 2020. Really happy that I visited this island like a local. Wish to go there one more time because of its cost effectiveness.
Your videos are always so good!
Thank you!!
Thx for sharing 🏝️ on the bucket list 🍹🥥🍍
Great video Ben!
Great video mate! Greetings from Amsterdam!
Great vlog and omg the sharks. Soooooo brave ! Best wishes.
My mates family lives in the Maldives, got to experience the real maldives and it did not disappoint, also went to a few resorts and it was amazing. Everyone is nice and friendly too, had such a good time
Great video man, love the Maldives.
🙏🏼
Love the vid bro
Missed your videos🥺🥺❤️
Great video Mr. Morris
Videos are always so good
What’s the resort at the end called?
Another amazing video!
great video! the resort is called Velassaru but apparently has not house reef so might be the reason it's so cheap.
Always a good day when a BM video drops. Like the look of the Maldives, but not sure about swimming with Sharks!
I think I just threw myself into it and didn’t even think about it hahahahha
Go for it! :D there are whalesharks in South Ari atoll and they are beautiful gentle giants; they only eat plankton and have no teeth ;)
Great video Ben 👌
I’m a new sub and I love travel content and you are amazing iswell so I followed you
Thank you so much!
@@benmorris ❤️❤️
letsgo a new ben morris video🙌
Sorry it’s short 😭
@Ben Morris still a sick video!! plus you swam with sharks for some reason😭
I like this, an eye opener!
As a maldivian you made my day! So in return you got my sub
just uploaded a $10 vs $1000 Hotel in the Maldives check it out🇲🇻❤️
As soon as I saw the boat, I knew straight away you were going Velassaru lol. You also stayed in the exact same room we usually get too
I love the video, Ben. How good is that AG1? Is it genuinely good?
Love from maldives 🇲🇻
Love you man
As a Maldivian should I would recommend to visit here it is fun
you need to come to australia for dolphins, i've seen them from my house, and even my highschool because it was on the riverside!
@BenMorris you should go to OneOcean diving in Oahu,Hawaii I went 2 years ago one of the best experiences in my life ❤
I’m going to Maldives in a few days and it’s like where u get to slide down into the ocean hotel that one and its so beautiful 😫😫
We love to see the other site of countries 🤝
We did the Maldives for our honeymoon and got a great deal. I do wish I had more time to visit Male
Great video dude! What is the name of the track you had on when you were underwater with the sharks?
I know this is ur “job” to travel but I couldn’t imagine going to these beautiful places alone. Understand u have a camera recording urself but, having one friend would make these trips 100x funnier/better. Understandable if you had to pay for them but it’ll be beyond worth it & prob make u more “adventurous” having another person with u
Am I the only one who noticed around the 3 minute 50 mark, him just staring at his wrist as if he had a watch on to tell the time?
As a scuba diver that's awsome(the sharks), I've only cage dove with them, but next time I'm on O'ahu I'm going without the cage.
Hey bud, was that last resort called "Kurumba" or something like that? Looks extremely familiar. Awesome video!
I’d love to do a travel yt channel your so inspiring ❤️
Thank you for visiting our country
Great vid mate
Glad you liked it!
i live near the artificial beach and i used to have swimming lessons there before there was sand instead of the huge rocks
Love your watch at 3:45 !
I feel like the only KZheadr who hasn't been sponsored by AG1.
My sister just come back from the Maldives last week did you see her ? Lol, my sis and bro in law love scupa diving x
I just wanna thank you for your videos and the one from Bali especially. It was really inspirational and now here I am, two years later, chilling by the pool in Ubud, watching your new trip to Maldives. A new destitation on my list I guess
Fascinating
This video is so good, and i love hoe he pronounces the names lol!, im from maldives btw, and i think its funny how he pronounces the name, but i would prob make that mistake too.
Welcome to Maldives ! I can see our old office at 02:33
In the Maldives myself atm. The nurse shark was a great trip a few days ago. Along with the whale shark snorkel as well. When where you here?
That ended abruptly 🤣
im from maldives and i am lucky to be in maldives
Man’s makes great vlogs +
WOW that rain was intense
I am happy that u came t my country
Maruhaba! Hello from a marine biologist in Maldives :) next time come to Baa atoll and swim with manta rays :D there's a great resort called Reethi Beach that is really close to the biggest known aggregation site for manta rays in the world - Hanifaru Bay! It's the best
“Omg a fish!.. and it’s in the sea”😂
That FLY had me DYING
Thanks alot for showing everyone the real side of maldives indeed it is all true
Wonderful trip though❤
Thanks im from Maldives
Let me save you all some time It's a real holiday destination, there is no side to it that hasn't been discussed prior to this video's release, and you can feel safe in knowing that virgin Atlantic charges £5k for 10 nights with good reason in all. Thank me *forever*
