From underwater thrills to fast-paced action on and above the waves, water sports in Maldives provide unforgettable experiences indeed! Here are some of the highlights.
Snorkelling
No experience is required for this popular activity that can be tried by the entire family and provides a great way to discover vibrant marine and coral life be it day or night. Some resorts the likes of Huvafen Fushi Maldives also offer an alternative called “Zayaking” which lets you float on the water on a type of sea sled without having to be submerged!
Diving
To fully appreciate the underwater beauty, nothing beats diving in the Maldives; island resorts that offer PADI courses and diving excursions are ideal for those interested in such exploration. From hotspots the likes of Manta Point with its many manta rays to the Hambadhu Shipwreck there’s plenty to discover.
Jet Skiing
For speed-induced thrills, jet skiing is the way to go! Some resorts feature guided tours as well which is an ideal way to explore the area around your resort island. Be it by yourself, with a partner or a trained guide, riding a jet ski is a not to be missed water sport in Maldives.
Parasailing
You do find water-based activities that take you up into the air sometimes; a case in point is parasailing! While you may start out in the water, once the speedboat that you are attached to reaches optimal speed, you or rather your parasail wing (like a parachute) will be lifted into the air providing stunning vistas of a tropical paradise.
