I had gone with Muddie Trails to Malvan. It was a wonderful experience
Had an awesome and well managed tour, led by Sourav Didn't feel like I am traveling with strangers. Had water activities in malvan beach also.
I planned my first trip with Muddie Trails to Malvan, which covered scuba diving and other water sports, overall we were able to cover all the activities which is possible in 2 days and our trip co-ordinator Sourav was awesome even though it was his first trip to Malvan he handled it well. But, If any of you guys planning scuba diving in Malvan, my suggestion is don't do it instead plan to Nethrani in Murdeshwar, I have done both Nethrani is far better and worth your money. Nethrani is also near by to Bangalore compared to Malvan.
