As a top adventure sports hub, a holiday in the Maldives allows visitors the chance to enjoy a host of outdoor activities. Here are some of the best things to do during a Maldivian getaway.
Island Hopping
The Maldivian landscape is tailor-made for this activity. Where else can one cruise from one virgin island to another than a collection of more than a thousand pristine islands? Counted among the best ways to uncover the country’s unique geography, island-hopping excursions are available through local tour operators and resorts.
Scuba Diving
Whether one is based at the Adaaran Maldives or any other resort hub, the stunning underwater landscapes dotting the ocean are among the most breathtaking places to see in Maldives. Sign up for a scuba diving adventure in HP Reef or Banana Reef and marvel at the sheer variety of marine species you come across.
Snorkelling
One need not venture far outside the resort island to enjoy a spot of snorkelling as nearly every house reef in most islands provide excellent conditions for snorkelling. No swimming skills or prior experience is required.
Whale and Dolphin Watching
Often described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, vacationers can witness dolphins and whales during a tour of the Maldives if they happen to visit during the peak tourist season. While it is common for tourists to spot dolphins on sunset cruises, a dedicated whale-watching tour offers more up close and personal encounters with these fascinating marine creatures.
Kayaking
Paddle at your own pace and discover the beauty of the Maldivian coastline. Sea kayaking tours are a fantastic way to spend time in the water without getting wet.
