Situated south of Sri Lanka with a collection of close to 1200 islands in the Indian Ocean is the tourist paradise, Maldives. Consisting of 99% water and just above the equator, Maldives offers sunny weather and an inexhaustible supply of water sport opportunities. Not only for the adventurous wishing to unravel the secrets of the deep sea, but also for children, elderly and non swimmers, there are a number of safe water sports available close to the shore.
Snorkelling is one of the major attractions at Maldives. Get on a mask and flippers and enjoy the sight of rainbow fish among the exotic coral gardens. Most resorts have their own small coral garden closer to shore for children and the elderly while others seeking a more challenging experience can sail into the deep sea. The crystal clear waters make Maldives a snorkelling paradise. Riding the waves is a favourite pastime among locals and there are a number of locations not far from Male with massive waves to satisfy the most daring surfers. Kite surfing has also become popular in recent times and is best for the more adventurous and requires practice. Windsurfing allows you to enjoy both the wind in your hair and the sea spray in your face.
There are a dozen different kinds of sailing one could do in the Maldives from parasailing to sailing in the high seas in search of fish. Para-sailing is popular among tourists for the outstanding birds-eye view of the lush greenery and the splendid blue waters below. While water skiing, knee boarding and Fun Tubes give you that crazy adrenaline rush, catamaran sailing and Banana Boating is most relaxing and allows you to enjoy the cool sea breeze and spectacular view of the green islands. Night time fishing is popular among tourists. Watch the golden sun set from out at sea and relax on the deck under a star strewn sky until a fish takes the bait is extremely relaxing and ideal for the older travellers. There is also morning fishing and big-game fishing to experience.
Adaaran Prestige Vadoo is a beautiful Maldives Resort that offers plush surroundings and superb service. Your Maldives Island Resort will be able to provide you all the equipment and even lessons necessary to have a most fun filled time on the water.
