yes always best to give a good look for security or police then always be humble. Lost a drone in Amalfi going to aggressive. You both are most smooth and humble. Hope to meet on the road. In Dauin, Philippines now. Cheers!!!
Could help you go cheaper. The tourist prices are insane
Congratulations, you guys have captured incredible footage, mission impossible!
Glad those sharks didn't treat you as snacks, but as friends!
Maldives BBQ looks delicious, and it's free, I'm so envious of you both!
Your words for help are too small, if people passing by will never see it, haha!
This is an interesting episode, thanks a lot for sharing! Love you both! 👍🥰❤🙌

You can travel the world on a budget. What you guys did on Maafushi is stong work. It`s authentic, true and really down to earth with nice people 💗
Wow. Thank you so much for the kind words and positive comment 👏😊.
We send our best wishes from Maldives!
Thank you for the travel guides and NO commercials!! That makes you stand out from the others in the best way.
Glad you like it!
And thank you for the kind words 😊😁
Yea it was a surprise to us as well that maldives can be so affordable and it was our pleasure to share this country through our eyes 😁👍
I had no idea you could visit on a budget :) subscribed a few videos ago because I enjoy the uniqueness of your videos. Everyday budget travel is fantastic, most of us cannot afford luxury but still want to see the world.
I would never imagine the Maldives could be done on a budget.
Me neither. It was a great video
Visit Lakshadweep ✅ true value for money. Boycott the racist Maldives ❌
I love to see how happy the two of you are 😀 Enjoy your travels!
😁😅.
Hahh Yea, it is quite nice here!
We are enjoying the Paradis island vibe and a little holiday from our regular way of traveling 😁

You should learn how to scuba dive! It’s like snorkeling, but 1000x better. (You can buy your own equip 1 time, to save.) This video was epic though! Smart way to vacation on a budget
I must say, there’s something priceless that you got to experience that the resorts could NEVER duplicate; the locals culture and friendships. This way is exactly how I love to travel and experience different places. I feel so blessed to have found your videos/channel, so thank you friends!
Visit Lakshadweep ✅ true value for money and more beautiful than Maldives.
Boycott Maldives ❌
You guys are awesome! Thanks so much. The shark footage is beyond belief. So wonderful. Enjoy planning your next venture, and thanks once again.
Maldives always seemed out of my league..but now i will look into it thanks to your vlog. It seemed ridiculously expensive and even if i could go i wanted to forgo it knowing i could use that money towards to trips to several other countries
Awesome and inspiring. This video has motivated me to travel to the Maldives - a destination I always thought was out of my budget.
That is so good hear! 👍
Before coming to maldives we though the same, that it was just out of our budget but the more time we spend here the more it becomes clear, that this country can also be enjoyed on a relatively cheap way and the experiences are pretty much the same 😁
Hey Joe and Liisu Tanfastik well done on a budget .. n the Kindness of Strangers ..
Stay Free and Safe Travels 😊
Thank you Mike!
Yea I guess it just comes to show that even in the most touristic places the kindness of people will always remain 😁👍
Yes! I was waiting for this video, expecting it to be released a week from now. Lo and behold it was released immediately. Good job guys !!
Heyhey 😁.
Hahh Yea, it came out a little early and I hope you enjoyed it 😁!
Im getting your travel now!!! Need to go Maldives before im dead 😂 thanks for sharing!!
Love your videos, vitality and kindness. You guys have a great connection and a lot of fun.
Thoughts…the thing about the Maldives though is to get away from the towers, traffic, piles of shops and cement partitions, agencies and get to the palm covered islands- don’t you think?
There are remote islands with villages without all that chaos. Don’t you feel such a spectacular place would have been worth spending more than 3 days and $300? Don’t you feel allowing for a bigger budget would have been worth it?
Still, loving your videos.
Heyhey!
So glad to hear that you enjoyed the video!
And I totally agree, after doing all of those activitys in Male and Maafushi we started looking for more quiet island and on off-season we found quite a few of them on the neighboring Atolls, but we will talk about them in the coming videos 😁.
When it comes to the budget then of course 50$ per day is a little restricting, but already for a 100 you can have pretty much everything you wish on local islands.
And honestly although I would like to spend 1 night in a resort just to know how they are, then locals island are much more our style of traveling 😁
@@WildVikingTravels Hey Bro thanks for the great reply. You’re talking to a guy who is obsessed with atolls and tropical islands.
I’ve done my share of island hoping. I highly highly recommend the Kei Islands, Maluku Province, Eastern Indonesia. 400 flat coral palm islands, village life, powder white beach, sand bars, reefs, day trips whipping through turquoise waters. Coastal Cottages, on Pulau Kei Kecil. Fantastiicoma!!! I’m Alan, good to meet you. Love your guyzez energy.
I was planning my trip to Maldives and all the luxury hotels bothered me until I saw your videos. You offered more possibilities of traving in Maldives on a budget but still being able to have so much fun. Thank you!
Wow! I've watched two of your videos and subscribed right away. You both had me laughing, lol. My well off friends visited Saudi Arabia and the Maldives and came back so excited, but also light in the pockets. Of course they stayed in the cabins on the water. Yet through your video I see you got to enjoy that same beautiful water without all the expense!! I see a vacation in the near future for myself!!! Thanks!
Heyhey!
So glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos!
And welcome to the channel 😊👍.
Yea we though as well that maldives is this extremely expensive place at first but the more we spend time here the more we see how afford it can actually be 😁
Thank you for showing us the true Maldives, what a beautiful place.
Wow you guys are Awesome!! Luv your vids thank you for posting I hope one day to visit where you both went and get to expirence everything you both did I really enjoyed this thank you again for posting I'm always watching you guys❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😊
Heyhey.
Thank you so much for the kind words and we send all the best from you currently from turkey 😊🙏
Subscribed and loved. You two are amazing. Absolutely enjoy your videos, Wild Viking!
Welcome aboard! 😁👍
Your videos always brighten my day! When are you coming back to Australia?
Heyhey.
So glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos 😁👍.
Ohh man I really miss Australia, but currently we are not making enough money yet to sustain ourselves There with CZcams.
So probably in a few years when we start earning more with social media we will do a huge Australian road trip 🤞
Wow, this is truly the best travel vlog I've ever watched, The details, commentaries, honesty. I love!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏😊
Best wishes currently from Norway 🇳🇴😁
Realy nice video ..
What was the name of the tour shop you booked the swimming with nurse sharks please?
WHO KNEW??? THE SUN IS THE VIKINGS KRYPTONITE!!!😂🤣😂 LOVE YOU GUYS!!!♥️♥️♥️
Another great vlog, what a special treat to eat with a local family...as for the shark swim, it looked like two of them got up close and really personal with you, Joe 😮.
That sunset was incredible.❤
Loved this video too. Subscribed and will be watching all your others too...🙂
Heyhey.

Congratulations with 50 000 followers 🎉 How wonderful ❤
Here's 1 more! 😁
Great and informative video. May I ask you what time of the year you went? Best of luck in future trips.
We went in July 👍😊
We visited maafushi quite a few years ago. It has one of the country’s prisons at one end. We visited a local school and took them pencils etc.
Awesome I am following you there in March. If you just droning on sand bars is it necessary to do the drone registration thing? I will check out your budget pdf soon. Thanks for reply, Philippe
Hey sorry I must have missed your comment.
But to answer: on paper yes, but in reality no.
Nobody asks for it and flying a drone is not a problem at all
Wild Viking Travels: VERY INTERESTING, INSPIRING & INSTRUCTIONAL video!
Thank you!
We had so much fun putting this one together ourselves as well 😁
Newly subscribed. Information aside just Love the vibe from you guys .
Hey 😊.
So glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos 😉👍.
And also we are super happy to have you on the channel traveling with us👌.
Best wishes currently from the Maldives 😃.
I hope I can go on this Xmas
Loving your videos
yeah, keep telling yourself that.
What's an incredible journey, In the budget was unreal..
This has made me want to go to the Maldives even more knowing I don't have to give an arm and a leg to be there
Wow that was inspiring thankyou guys 😁
Wow. 😁👌
So glad to hear that you enjoyed the video!
You should have visited Maldives at eid Al adha or bodu eid as what the locals say you will experience the local side of Maldives like no other
Heyhey.
We were in the Maldives during Eid 😁.
I think we showd a little of it in the last video from Male and Huraa
That is amazing!! Well done both of you. Very informative video.
May i know the name of the hotel tho?
Thanks!
Heyhey.
Thanks for the kind words!
I think it was called "select village"
And I can secretly say that if you contact them outside of booking websites it will be even cheaper 😁👍
I really afraid of those sharks. I can't wait for your next video. ❤❤❤
Yes, I took a fair bit our courage to get in water with them 😁. But it made such a great memory!
Hey guys, your videos are super useful. Honestly I would have been terrified of so many sharks, you are brave!
I was wondering what you'd recommend as the best beaches for swimming? Strangely I don't seem to find much information about good swimming spots and a lot of the photos of the Maldives don't show people swimming at all which seems worrying.
Thanks for the video! Are there any other islands like Maafushi?
Thank you for an amazing video. What agency did you register with for the 50$ tour?
Amazing
Nice work from NY!
what hotel did u stay at? and im sure there is even cheaper food options available! great video!
We were at a place called Select Village. Truly nice place to stay 😊👌.
I am sure there might be some cheaper places on the island 😁
Islam teaches generosity and ethics, I'm a proud Muslim.
pls where is spot to looking for swimming with sharks, manta rays and sand bank in Maafushi? Thx
Do you pay for your accommodation when you arrive at Maldive or before arriving there?
Where did you travel from ? To Maldive
We booked 1 hotel before and everything else on the spot.
We took a plan from India (so quite close)
Thank you for the video. Had a quick question. On local islands does everything close really early? My only worry that it shouldn't be boring after sunset. Thanks!
You both look like you really enjoyed it, wonderfull. But I dont believe how you swim with the sharks!!! Mission impossible for me 😂😂😂
Özden!
Ohh man, I (Joe) can't believe it eighter 😅. Liisu is clearly the brave one on this relationship 😆.
I hope your dream will come true one day to travel from Europe to japan..❤🇳🇵
Heyhey.
We hope so as well!
I think we will try again next summer 😁🤔
What month was this? And did you get special permissions for drone? Or just sent it?
Have you had to request filming permits in any of the locations you recorded vlogs so far? I find this to be a very grey area. It's said that for social media generally you don't need permits, but if your channel is monetised it's considered commercial purpose for which a permit is needed. I'm so confused. What do you know about this?
Heyhey.
When I film people then I always ask for permission, but for locations not really.
And no one is enforcing any of those rules, even drone rules in this county are weird, you are supposed to get a permit for every flight, but 100s of people fly drones here constantly and Nobody really cares.
I understand sharks and learned so much...beautiful video🦈❤🤍💞
Hello from a Vegan💚
Heyhey.
Thank you so much for the kind words and a positive comment 😊.
We send hugs from the Maldives!
Dear brother and sister. Thank you for this footage . spectacular captured images. ONE QUESTION: WHAT WAS THE HOTEL YOU STAYED IN MAAFUSHI? WHAT IS THE NAME OF IT? IT WOULD BE NICER IF YOU HIGHLIGHT THOSE PLACES. Iam on my way in 3 days thus i am searching. Thank you in advance
Hahh thank you for the kind words.
I really can't remember the name but I am quite sure I showed the name sign of the place in the video😁.
Maybe it helps 😬
Thanks bro. but it does not mentioned there thus i contacted you. however my appreciation @@WildVikingTravels
Is it possible to change multiple islands without booking anything?
Basically yea. If you don't book accommodation you have to show proof of funds on border. I think it was about 100 dollar per day for each day spent in the country.
But you have to book the first one beforehand
Very good video. Awesome drone sights. I m planning to go there Dec 2023, may i ask if u have the contact info for Select village guest house, maafushi?
Heyhey.
Sadly I don't.
We booked them through booking. Com maybe you can find the info from there 😊👍
Wheres the $500 hotel comparison?
"Same thing" yet doesn't actually show the luxury side of maldives for comparison, so how would you know
Ohh my.
You must be fun at parties 😅
Nice Eurovision reference. Kiitos, I guess?
Imma subscribe as well!
I'm from Maldives
Currently working on a resort island 🏝️ by the name Alimatha
The resort is run by an Italian company resulting in 80% of guest's to be from Italy! 😅
The rest are usually Russian's
Heyhey!
So nice to have you on the channel!
Hahh, surely the life on the resort islands is quite different from the rest of Maldives and I am sure you have some amazing and funny stories about working there 🤣
Mantas were not the only rays we saw on this tour 😂
Did you see the prison of Maafushi?
Yep 😅.
But luckily only from the outside
@@WildVikingTravels free accommodation with seaview 🙃
Maybe you can touch the surf camps
You can learn to surf.
It’s well known.
Yes! 😊
There is a lot of surfing near many of the island! I am not sure if we have time for it on this holiday, but I have heard they are amazing 😁
how much is your water activity in the day 1 ( mantay ray and nurse shark) is it 50 dollars? :)
Yep.
The whole tour was 50
7:55 here
Thank you for this video. Im a little worried about getting the tourist visa. How much funds did you have to show for a couple to be offered the visa?
I think it was like 100$ for each day you plan to stay.
So it wasn't that bad. But bring a printout of the bank statement.
Thank you
What month of the year did you travel here?
Heyhey.
Just now so in July 😁👍.
We were here for 22 days and it was amazing.
What month you were there?
BRO IT WAS OWSM BOTH OF U COUPLE, JST TELL 1THING how much sharks activity cost per person???
Whole day tour with sharks and rays was $50 per person :)
I've your video
You guys are funny, love your videos, not just informative, but fun to watch. Best wishes from South Africa. Hope you visit Cape Town one day...or maybe you did, have not watched all your videos yet
Thank you ❤️❤️! South Africa has been on our list for a long time! Hopefully in the future on an Africa tour!
💯
I am a traveler with a carry-on but on a budget 😂😂😂
Shame the plane ticket from Sweden alone would be like €1500+ per person xD
Ohh yea, that's the hard part 😅.
We were already in India so from there it was only 300 eur for return tickets.
@@WildVikingTravels A lot more resonable, for sure. Haha. Watching your videos now. Just found the channel today and loving the honesty when you guys tell your experiences, etc. Keep it up! :)
🤙🏽
🙏😀
I have sent the money can you please send the pdf
Hello.
I have just sent it to you.
Let me know if it reaches you well 😁👍
Best wishes Joe
❤
Just camp 😊
L I K E 👍 👍 👍👍👍 😻😻😻😻😻 💯💯💯
🙏😊
But shark will eat up me for free😂😢
👏😇🙏
😎👍🦈😱❤
Kallikalli!
cant belive such a beautiful place is taken over by moeslims :p
Yea $50 isn’t anywhere compare to $500… $500 offer everything so much better than $50. One is high class and $50 is super low class… too obvious
Sure
I saw bikini, thought bikini is not allowed?
Bikini is not allowed on local islands. Yet if you are on the ocean or on the dedicated bikini beach, then it is perfectly OK 😊
