The Maldives may be a top honeymoon destination, but it is also a place for plenty of adventure and fun on the Indian Ocean. Here is a list of the top water sports in the Maldives.
Scuba Diving
Listed as one of the world’s top dive destinations, the Maldives is perfect for underwater adventures. Dive amongst the coral reefs, caves, and tunnels to see whale sharks, manta rays, turtles, reef sharks, and other fascinating marine life. Some private island resorts like Adaaran Club Rannalhi offer dive lessons for even novices to learn the sport.
Snorkelling
Basic swimming skills are all you need to snorkel in the Maldives. Swim up to the nearest house reef and start exploring. You’ll see colourful reef fish swimming amongst the pretty coral, and maybe even spot a turtle swim past!
Island Hopping
The best Maldives places to visit can be covered on an island-hopping tour, especially when you get to explore some of the islands on the atoll to which your resort belongs. Visit the uninhabited islands for picnics and swimming. Then, learn about local culture while exploring villages on the inhabited islands.
Kayak
Enjoy kayaking tours by gliding gracefully across the ocean. The calm and quiet atmosphere you’ll come across these tours will add to the thrill of exploring your resort island’s coastline while watching out for sights of marine life in the water below.
