点评:You are being ripped off here.
The only reason for this one star is the woman who helped us. She was genuinely kind, friendly, and helpful. Unfortunately, the business itself was a completely different story.
We were initially quoted $285 for a tour. When two more people joined, making four adults in total, we expected the price to become cheaper as we had been told. Instead, the owner suddenly changed it to $300. The $15 is not the issue, the constantly changing prices are. It felt like they simply made up prices on the spot.
We eventually booked another tour for $200, but were forced to pay in MVR cash. Because of the exchange rate they used, this cost us around $260, $60 more than the agreed price. They only accept cash, while on Guli Island you can only withdraw MVR, not USD. This puts you completely at the mercy of their exchange rate.
We checked the exchange rate elsewhere and were told this was not a normal rate.
Our advice: take the V Marine boat to Maafushi for around $10 and arrange your tours there. Tour operators in Maafushi allow you to pay in USD and by card, making everything much more transparent.
The woman was lovely, but the pricing and payment practices of this company left us feeling completely misled and overcharged. Avoid this company.

给这一星评价的唯一原因就是那位帮助我们的女士。她真的非常善良、友善且乐于助人。可惜的是,这家店本身的经营状况就完全不是那么回事了。
起初,他们给我们的报价是285美元。后来又有两个人加入,总共就是四位成年人了,我们原以为价格会像之前说的那样有所降低。结果店主却突然把价格改成了300美元。15美元的差距倒不是问题,问题在于价格总是随意变动。感觉他们完全是随口定价。
最终我们以200美元的价格预订了另一趟旅游服务,但却被迫用马累瓦卢现金付款。由于他们采用的汇率问题,这笔费用实际上高达约260美元,比约定价格多出60美元。他们只接受现金支付;而在古利岛上,游客只能提取马累瓦卢,无法提取美元。这样一来,游客就完全受制于他们的汇率了。
我们在其他地方查询了汇率,得知那个汇率根本不属于正常水平。我们的建议是:花大约10美元乘坐V Marine的船只前往马富希岛,然后在那里安排旅游行程。马富希岛上的旅行社接受美元及信用卡付款,这样整个流程就透明得多。
那位女工作人员人很好,但这家公司的定价及付款方式却让我们觉得被误导且多收了费用。千万别选择这家公司。
