Experience the Gems of Maldives Differently: Discover Local Treasures with Secret Paradise! When Ruth Franklin first visited the Maldives over 20 years ago following her passion as a scuba diver in her quest for viewing manta rays and whale sharks in their natural habitats, the experience turned into something far more profound. The warm hospitality of many Maldivian friends she made while visiting the Maldives, the cultural richness of shared meals, and countless visits afterwards, led her to co-found Secret Paradise Maldives in 2012. Today, Ruth calls this tropical paradise her home and is on a mission to offer travellers an authentic glimpse into Maldivian life, a special travel adventure beyond the average tourist travel, while promoting responsible eco-tourism.
