This experience cannot be put into words. With that being said, I will give it a good hard crack. I have been home for a month since my incredible trip to the maldives with Maganda and I cannot stop raving about it. From start to finish my mouth was open the entire time in awe. From getting the suite at akirri, shout out to my roomie 'Bubbles', to seeing dolphins everyday and getting to swim with them, life couldn't get any better.
The surfing is catered to individual needs - from beginners, to intermediate to advanced, there is opportunities for everyone.
The snorkelling is out of this world - be prepared to cry into your snorkel (if you know you know)
The food was to die for - make sure your try the local butter chicken.
The locals - always down for a hi 5, laugh and chat.
Make sure you hire a bike and explore the island - the coke factory is not to be missed ;-)
These things combined with the talented friendly, kind girls you meet will make this a trip of a lifetime. We laughed together, cried together and sat in silence together enjoying each other's company. All different ages, different occupations, different walks of life and different countries and yet the same - they truly make it.
So don't think about it, just do. Bubbles and I are already discussing our next trip - bring out the 2027 dates already! If anyone wants to join us, particularly those interested in making music videos, we will be joining a Phillipines trip next year x
It really was the best girls holiday!
It really does give you the experiences that it advertises, and more! Loads of surfing, yoga and hiking, whilst giving you time to chill out and get to know each other.
I did originally think that Silvia was going to be the one running the trip, so I do feel like explaining there are other trip coordinators could be something communicated earlier on - not that this was a problem!
Shout out to Christina for being the best trip leader I could have asked for and Leona for bringing such warming and helpful yoga classes to the trip. Puraran Beach Resort staff made the most amazing food for us, and were so kind and accommodating, it really was a pocket of paradise! 🩵
Made friends and memories for life! Missing everyone already 🥲
I joined the Malapascua scuba trip and, like some others have mentioned, I honestly think it was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. We had such an AMAZING group of women, and the vibe was just incredible from start to finish.
Having our trip lead, Pixu, living right there on the island was a huge bonus since she knew all the best local spots and hidden gems, which added so much value to the experience.
The trip was perfectly planned with a great balance between diving and other activities. Having yoga sessions twice was great; it was exactly what I needed after a day in the water, and the studio itself was stunning.
The resort was really nice and provided a very comfortable home base for the week.
The boat and dive crew were lovely and very professional. I really appreciated their flexibility - they even organized a PADI instructor for me since I wanted to do a specialty certification while I was there.
In short, it was an absolutely amazing experience. I’m so glad I signed up, and I’d travel with Maganda again in a heartbeat!
I’ve been back for a week from the Malapascua Scuba Trip with Maganda, and I can honestly say it was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. Everything was absolutely perfect: the value for money, the accommodation, the activities, the trip coordinator, and of course the amazing group of fellow travelers.
The accommodation was comfortable, and the fact that it was right at the beach made it even more special. You share your room with one other girl.
The activities were incredibly varied and well-organized. Besides diving, we also went snorkeling, made jewelry, and even took part in a painting workshop.
Pixu was an exceptional coordinator: organized, warm, supportive, and always available. I felt safe and well taken care of at all times. She also gave us great local tips on where to eat and what to try, which made the trip even better.
As a group, we clicked instantly. The atmosphere was fun, supportive, and full of good energy. Every day felt like a little adventure with friends.
In short: a truly unforgettable experience and an absolute must‑do. If you’re hesitating about booking: just go for it. You won’t regret it!
I went on the Malapascua scuba trip and met the most amazing girls along this journey! I would recommend this to anyone who is beginning to solo travel and loves to explore the world underwater:) amazing organization through the entire trip!
I had an incredible experience and made so many wonderful friends during the Maganda Malapascua diving trip! This was a HUGE bucket list item for me and I'm so glad I took the swing and decided to do it abroad because I truly would not have changed a thing. All of the girls on the trip got along so well - we're still in contact via whatsapp and planning to meet each other on various trips in the future! I think the only thing even remotely negative was that the Maganda app couldn't handle the amount of photos and videos we were uploading of each other hahahahaThe trip itself is rigorous but also very flexible, in the time I was there we did 12 dives and had a couple of days off to do our own thing - I opted to get my first large tattoo with a local artist. I will never forget riding back to the hotel late after the tattoo on the motorbike, knowing I had plans with my friends the next day to go to a huge local dance party. This was a life-changing experience, I cannot recommend it more, and if Maganda makes additional diving trips I WILL be joining them!!! TEN STARS Y'ALL! Give yourself more credit!! And thank you for an amazing, amazing experience that I will have wonderful memories from for decades to come!!!

As I’m writing this, I am crying on the Cebu airport floor because I do not want to leave! This trip, the girls, the island, the dive instructors/workers and the Filipino people have all been 5 out of 5! All the girls are there for the same reason, to enjoy diving in a beautiful country in a safe environment. Our leader, Pixu, has amazing local knowledge as well as being an epic girl guide 😍🫶🏽🤩 if you’re trying to decide if it’s worth it, just book the trip. Because it is 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I absolutely loved my Maganda Experience and would recommend it to everyone! It was amazing being around girls from all of the world and learning how to scuba dive together. It also made it way less scary to know you weren’t alone when learning. The whole trip was perfect organized and well thought out. If you have been thinking about going on a girls trip, then this is the one for you!!! It was awesome :)
