Being stranded on a deserted island may not be something we dream of. Tom Hanks in the movie Cast Away had his own methods of survival and if you have read or seen the film / TV adaptations of Robinson Crusoe or the Swiss Family Robinson, it may be a scenario that often fascinated you. With a little over 1,100 islands, most of them uninhabited, the Maldives is the perfect place to actually enjoy such adventures minus the need of surviving for days on end by yourself!
If you are planning to visit and explore the islands be they inhabited or uninhabited, look to see if your Maldives hotel or resort offers such tours. Accommodation provides the likes of Kandolhu Island Maldives do arrange excursions like these. When it comes to deserted islands, there is much to enjoy. Untouched by human development, these islands are little patches of paradise with pristine palm fringed beaches, tropical greenery and lots of solitude, ideal for a romantic interlude or some quality family time. A picnic on the beach, snorkelling in the azure Indian Ocean waters or perhaps a stroll along the shore during sunset are just some of the things you can look to do while on such islands. Once you have explored one, look to see if there is another you can visit too for, after all, this is one country that is blessed with an abundance of picturesque islands.
Of course, it is not just uninhabited islands that you can visit or explore in the Maldives. To truly soak up some local culture, look to plan a visit to a local island as well. This is a great way to discover and experience the distinctive local way of life. Mingle with the locals, watch them engaged in their livelihood, be it fishing or cultivation and enjoy a more laidback way of life away from the hustle and bustle.
