In 2019, we visited the beautiful islands of The Maldives for a second time. Although this holiday was during the rainy, wet season, we crossed our fingers that it wouldn’t rain all the time. We took a risk with an expensive holiday. Did it pay off? What happens when travel “goes wrong”? And how does Instagram warp your sense of what a good holiday is anyway?

If you think this video is about rain, it isn't. 😂 Before commenting and looking silly, please watch until the end. Or don't watch until the end and don't comment. Link for our favourite hotel we have stayed in The Maldives, which we cover in a separate video, rated as "Fabulous": https://www.booking.com/hotel/mv/vivanta-by-taj-coral-reef.en.html?aid=1864334&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2
Only go to the Maldives in the winter
Thank you for the message at the end of a video. I've been stressing out with trip preparations that I almost forgot why I travel in the first place.
I think that sometimes when holiday isn't perfect, it can create even better memories.
I love this video. I’ve had trips where things went “wrong” like the weather being bad or bags being delayed or what have you. And you are absolutely right. The most important thing is to appreciate the time with your loved ones in a wonderful new place. Rain or shine. I’ve always come out of it with fantastic memories and stories to share.
two different people
1. travelers
2. adventures
as adventures, i love a little bit of chaotic situation. and rain, to me its romantic
Love your videos ! Hilarious, factual and tell the real story – love your work 👍
So funny, I needed a good laugh…..thank you. Great tips too. Thank you.
You went in the rainy weather and its your fault for coming in the rainy weather its usually very welcoming at the maldives so if you are complaining about what i just said don't even try to talk back to me because i am from MALDIVES
Love a snowflake moaning about travel …
can i fly from Europe to Maldives and not Book an hotel, like can i sleep somewhere on the Shore?
Bora Bora is way better and feels more like heaven because it’s not surrounded big neighbors, it’s in middle of the pacific ocean the biggest ocean in the world. ✨
When I got to the Maldives it was the exact opposite of what you said
I think after 2 days I would be bored. there is only one beautiful beach to see. no culture, no locals, no adventure. and if your wife gets on your ass you have a problem
I was very recently in the Maldives, and I can agree. It rained a lot. It was still fun though!
Great presentation and narration. I could listen to you all day. Not only did I have a good laugh at times, but now I'm informed about the best travel months for The Maldives to avoid stormy weather. For me, personally, spending quiet rainy days in a beautiful tropical setting would be very soothing. Thank you!
I have solution stop going during hurricane or monsoons. Then your in season and you will pay dble. So you cant have your cake and eat it too.
Hahahahah I just subscribed You are amazingly funny! I didn't stop laughing and I watched the whole video ( which I rarely do….lol) You got a deal for $2800 for 6 days with food included hahahahaahah thats just 1 day in Waldorf Astoria Maldives and food is not included ..1 burger /fries and coke is about $120 lol
Awwww. ❤️
I'm in the Maldives now. I got here yesterday and it was sunny. It is raining like a biblical flood today and it is forecast to rain for days.
When you get all inclusive food and drinks all of the sudden you have no appetite, I think they put stuff in the food and drinks to kill your appetite.
“Wait till the end of the video” i still see what they mean about all the rain talk 🤣
Instagram is not the world. We (people) can enjoy bad weather and good weather seperately. For myself I like to work when rain drops meet my windows and I can hear the sounds. I understand your expectations, but you are a cute couple, everywhere you can go together, the place is your heaven
You need to wake up and grow up and start living in the reality.. No place is not even 1% close how paradise is.. Oh yeah.. sorry.. forgot.. you can keep calling it.. coz the real paradise NOT for 99% in the West.. You want to know the why of it.. do your research and you'll know it. Have a good one.. and keep calling it your paradise coz you'll be going to hell anyway.. and for eternity.
