Ark Noble Guest Reviews

Feedback Client 7 - 15 July 2023

This was honestly a trip of a lifetime! The Captain, our personal guide, Yohan & the staff of Ark Noble did a remarkable job granting any wish requested, to setting up excursions that worked for my group, to preparing out of this world meals, to allowing us to experience the Maldivian culture, to just really making our next vacation being hard to top this one! Not one stone was unturned on this trip. I believe someone on the trip said something about Uno Cards & the next thing we knew there was an Amazon delivery with the Uno cards! The attention to detail & personal touches were beyond my expectations! Our photographer, Koyya, was apart of our trip the entire time & a piece that I’m so glad we added.

Feedback Client 8 - 15 January 2023

Our charter onboard ARK NOBLE was superb and we had a fantastic time onboard with lots of diving and great food. The crew were fantastic.
