Maldives is the most famous word used to describe everything that’s blissful! Water sporting events are particularly a favoured aspect of a holiday in the Maldives. Your holiday in the island-nation would certainly be incomplete if you don’t partake in the joys of water sports and below are a few top favourites that you may try out.
For those who are exceptional swimmers and are good in the basics in swimming, snorkelling is on the cards. Snorkelling takes you across sea treasures and presents you to captivating underwater life. The best time for snorkelling is from July to September.
Jet skiing too is another favourite among local and foreign tourist alike and especially for the more adventurous. Since jet skiing is slightly more of a “risky” sport it’s advisable you partner with jet ski service providers who are tied up with many Maldives resorts. All inclusive deals offered by many resorts like those by Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives ensure safety and protection and supervised attention.
Another favourite among visitors is kitesurfing. The sport is quite an exciting one and is best done from April to October every year. While you don’t need to be an expert swimmer, you need to know the basics to keep you from drowning of course! The views that are offered while kitesurfing are beautiful and come with a gush of sea breeze that you’ll find hard to resist. The sport doesn’t cost much and you can find a service provider on almost every island.
What about some underwater walking?! Yes, it sounds quite out of the ordinary, yet is one water sport that’s much enjoyed! Underwater walking is best done from January to April and only requires an oxygen mask to keep you alive! Yes, you needn’t know how to swim! This activity requires a slightly higher investment but has heaps to offer to participants.
