Your Guide to Jet Skiing in Maldives

While spending lazy days on pristine sands soaking up the sun with your favourite cocktail in hand is a key allure of holidaying in the Maldives, so too are its exciting water sports! This includes jet skiing and here’s what you need to know about what this fun-filled activity has to offer.

A Dream Setting

Did you know that while the Maldives has over 1,000 islands, it’s made up of 99% water? That’s a massive ‘playground’ for jet skiing!  Whether you carve through calm lagoons or head out to explore the open ocean, breathtaking scenery will surround you at every turn. Head out from one of the luxury villas in Maldives on an unforgettable adventure as you zoom towards a horizon where the sea meets the sky.

Where to Enjoy Jet Skiing 

Private island resorts are your best bet for jet skiing fun. These havens not only offer top-notch facilities, watercraft, and equipment but also ensure your safety with experienced instructors. Consider staying at properties like Niyama Private Islands Maldives in the Dhaalu Atoll – a paradise for jet skiing and countless other water sports from snorkelling and diving to wakeboarding, kitesurfing, kayaking and more.

What to Expect 

Before you unleash your inner thrill seeker, a safety briefing will be provided, and this is an essential part of your adventure. You will usually have the option to either take the controls of the jet ski yourself or ride tandem with an instructor who will offer an unforgettable ride. Some resorts in Maldives even provide guided jet ski tours, allowing you to explore the local area in a safe and thrilling way.

Things to Keep in Mind 

Safety is paramount, so always follow the guidelines provided by your instructor. Remember, it’s not just about speed – respect the water and have fun within reasonable limits. Sun protection is crucial so wear sunglasses and apply plenty of sunscreen. As a responsible traveller, be mindful of the marine environment by ensuring to use reef-safe sunscreen and never throwing litter into the ocean.
