On your getaway to the Maldives, water sports will provide all the adrenaline-pumping action you need along with some amazing underwater experiences; here are some of the highlights.
Snorkelling
An activity that the whole family can try, snorkelling gives you a chance to encounter colourful coral and marine life. Those staying at the best luxury Maldives resorts the likes of Grand Park Kodhipparu can easily access a thriving nearby house reef too; apart from vibrant fish, you have a chance to spot blacktip sharks, stingrays, turtles and more!
Scuba Diving
Of course, you can go even deeper beneath the waves while scuba diving, among the best things to do in the Maldives. Destinations like the North Male Atoll are ideal for this activity and let you explore specific points known to attract sharks too. Look to stay at a resort that offers a dive centre with PADI-certified courses as well as speciality diving adventures.
Other Non-Motorised Activities
There are lots more non-motorised water sports to enjoy; head off into the horizon when catamaran sailing which is particularly memorable at sunset or harness the power of the wind when windsurfing and kitesurfing. You can also ride the waves while surfing and go kayaking and stand-up paddling which provide great cardio workouts too!
Motorised Water Sports
For those with a need for speed, motorised water sports are on offer here. Jet-skiing with a guide is provided by some resorts, while the exhilaration of skimming across the ocean when wakeboarding, water-skiing, banana boating or enjoying fun tube rides is not to be missed. You can also try flyboarding and parasailing that take you up into the air!
