About Us

My first experience with Perfect Wave was great. Friendly staff and friendly fellow surfers. I can’t wait to book back next year. Thank you for your hospitality and see you soon next year. Thank you

Still a lot to learn but I’m bringing home some of the best surfing memories. So grateful for perfect wave and Como ! Will be definitely back !

I had an amazing surf experience with my family in Maverick.

Special thanks to the crew and especially to the surf guide, Jinoo, who was very kind and professional… also for the pictures he took!

Went out surfing once’s sometimes twice in a day and had a Yoga session every day! Also played beachvolleyball with the local staff and went out for a run up the road to explore the surroundings.

Really appreciate Tim (surf guide) and Justine’s (yoga/pilates instructor) efforts to get everyone into cool group activities!

Ah and food was great!

The surf setup at Kandooma with The Perfect Wave is honestly one of the best I’ve experienced. The wave right in front of the villas, Kandooma Right, is consistent, clean, and literally perfect. You can see it from your bed. Paddle out when you feel ready. That kind of access is rare. The wave itself works for all levels, from long rides to fun takeoffs, and if you want variety, Quarters is just a short boat ride away. It’s a beautiful change of scenery with a great vibe in the water. Steve runs the whole surf operation and does an amazing job. He’s calm, professional, knows the ocean inside out, and somehow manages to keep everything running smoothly while making you feel like you’re just out for a surf with a friend. Whether you need guidance, timing, coaching, or just someone to watch your wave and smile—it’s Steve.

What I really love about Kandooma is that it’s made for everyone. If you’re a complete beginner or your kids are just learning, it’s a safe and encouraging place to start. And at the same time, you’ll probably find yourself sharing waves with some of the world’s best surfers. They come here often. That mix is rare. It doesn’t matter who you are—everyone’s here for the same reason. It’s about joy.

Courtney’s yoga classes are another reason this place feels so complete. She’s the best yoga teacher I’ve ever had. Her sessions are intelligent, grounding, and somehow always exactly what you need. There’s the energizing morning classes, the fun challenge of SUP yoga on the water—where falling in becomes part of the experience—and the evening yin yoga, which is especially perfect after a long surf day. That class resets everything. It’s calm, candle-lit, and you walk out feeling like you’ve landed back in your body.

The marine life here is breathtaking. You can snorkel right off the beach and see turtles, baby reef sharks, and all kinds of fish. It’s alive. Bring reef-safe sunscreen. The ocean gives a lot. It deserves respect.

All in all, The Perfect Wave at Kandooma is something special. It’s not just about the waves or the place. It’s the people, the energy, the way it all flows together. I come back every year, and I’m already looking forward to the next.

I’ve been to the Maldives 11 times and the last one was my 12th trip to this amazing country!

Perfect wave travel were incredible!

My Maldivian surf guide Mihner is a very experienced surfer and we surfed everyday day of the first week all by ourselves!

I only have great things to say about this organization, everything was smooth, the boat trips, the forecasts for the peaks…

I’m definitely coming back to Maverick Resort with perfect wave. 2 boat trips a day are included on the package.

Thanks to Mihner and Oliver Trujillo for organizing this trip!

See you soon 🤙🏼

The staff is incredibly kind, professional, and always attentive.

The breakfast buffet is very comprehensive, with a wide selection of sweet and savory items, a great way to start the day.

The hotel restaurant offers a varied menu with tasty, well-presented, and carefully prepared dishes.

The rooms are spacious, modern, and perfectly clean, offering true comfort in a peaceful and beautiful setting.

Epic trip. 10 days of Mentawai perfection.

Appreciated all the help from Perfect Wave getting just there and back.

Can’t thank Billy Randell and the team at Perfect Wave Travel enough. From start to finish, the service and support we received were outstanding – from the Vamoos app to the handy checklists, everything helped make the preparation seamless and stress-free.

Our teenage daughters had the surfing experience of a lifetime, and as a family, we had an unforgettable experience. A special shoutout to the Perfect Wave legends at Kandooma – Stevo and Courtney, Jinu and Minherl, Lola and Teigs, and the boat crews. Our girls couldn’t have been in better, safer hands. We were impressed by how the surfing program is run – with a strong sense of respect in the water and a focus on fun for everyone. This is surfing community at its best. We loved connecting with like-minded families.

A special thanks to Riza from the Holiday Inn, who generously shared insights about the Maldives, its islands, the resort, and local life. The staff were hardworking, warm, and full of good humour – a real credit to the resort.

We highly recommend Billy and the Perfect Wave Travel team, and the crew at Kandooma – we’re already dreaming of our next trip back!

What more could you want? The whole team at Perfect Wave made it so easy to get the best waves. In my case it was around Kandooma. Spot on with the forecasts, and went out of their way to pick me up from a separate resort. Thanks again folks!

From the first phone call to enquire about Kandooma resort to the return trip home was all smooth no hassles, top advice from Charlie, the crew at the resort and Stevo and all the boys taking the boats out to other breaks everyday, jet skiing, snorkelling not to forget the girls there at Perfect wave sorting out my 8 year old daughter with surf lessons and the wife with yoga classes. Everyone I met at the island on holidays all said the same thing it was so easy to organise a surf trip that the rest of the family who didn’t surf had just as much fun.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kandooma Resort in the Maldives. Our accommodation was fantastic with views of the surf. The staff were fabulous, in particular Teigan, Lola and the surf guides. The Asian food at “The Kitchen” was next level. The community vibe at the point was great with drinks, music and daybeds for family watching the surf. The boats for the additional surf trips were outstanding. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Sylv was awesome and we had one week in the paradise of Maldives. Great waves, drinks and palm trees! All you can wish for! ☀️ //All the best! Adam & Linnea …

both during booking and when at Kandooma. Everything ran smoothly and our accommodation was outstanding. I also managed to get some great waves, the staff knew the best wind, tide and swell conditions for each spot and made sure we had a great time. Will definitely book through perfect wave again.

Everything was so easy, stress free and seamless.

Have used Perfect Wave for many years, every time, everything is smooth as silk. You can book, kick back and relax knowing Perfect Wave has you covered. Best in the business.

The skipper, crew, and staff aboard the Explorer were exceptional. Their dedication and attention to detail ensured that we enjoyed every moment—surfing, fishing, snorkelling, and relaxing—without ever having to compromise. The seamless coordination and availability of crew and tenders made the experience even more special.

A special shout-out to Connie for the amazing food. Each meal was delicious, wholesome, and unique, keeping us satisfied and excited for what would come next. Her cookies and cakes were a real highlight, sparking delight among all of us.

The Vamoos app was another fantastic addition, keeping everyone’s details at our fingertips and making everything smoother.

All in all, it was truly a trip of a lifetime, and we’re already hoping to return one day.

I must say, Sylvia’s customer service has been incredible! While I wasn’t initially convinced that Kandooma would be the best surfing destination, her dedication almost had me change my mind because I felt confident she would make the experience exceptional.

I have been dealing with Sylvia from perfect wave for many years now. Always excellent communication and nothing is ever a problem. Thanks for making travelling overseas surfing adventures so easy.

Perfect wave was very helpful in arranging all travel and providing destination information.
