8 Amazing Things to Do in the Maldives - Top 8 Activities to Enjoy in the Maldives

As Asia's most popular honeymoon hub, the Maldives offers visitors a wealth of exciting and unforgettable activities. From outbound adventures to more relaxing pursuits, here are 8 activities visitors should enjoy in the paradise archipelago.

1

Underwater Dining

Home to not just one but two underwater restaurants, there's no other beach hotspot where tourists can wine and dine surrounded by marine life. Maldives' underwater restaurants not only offer diners an eclectic menu but an ambience that's hard to beat with floor to ceiling glass panels that allow travellers to watch stingrays and other fish species swim past as they dig into their meal.

2

Night Diving

Scuba diving during the daytime is exciting enough but engaging in deep-sea dives in the veil of the night can be an exhilarating and memorable experience for seasoned divers. Providing fantastic visibility in spite of the darkness, night diving tours are available through a host of local tour operators and resort hubs. Manta rays, reef sharks, and other tropical fish species are often spotted during these after-hours excursions beneath the waves.

3

Island Hopping

As an activity that's only possible in an archipelago made up of over a thousand islands such as the Maldives, island hopping allows travellers to visit one white, sandy beach after another. The tours include a plethora of uninhabited islands and those who wish to engage in snorkelling or other water sports activities can also organise an island-hopping tour in conjunction with this excursion.

4

Beachfront Cinema

Taking open-air cinemas to the next level, there's nothing quite like enjoying a Hollywood classic by one of the most beautiful beachfront settings on the planet. Available in a number of Maldivian resorts, this luxurious cinematic experience takes place on a selected day of the week when lounge chairs, bean bags and movie snacks are hauled onto the beach for a more plush incarnation of a drive-in movie experience.

5

Sunset Cruises

Those who are based at the Saii Lagoon Maldives or any other accommodation provider must sign up for a sunset cruise during a getaway. Ranked among the most romantic things to do in Maldives, these sailing tours set off in the late afternoon and offer tourists a glimpse of the sunset from a truly unique vantage point. Snacks and champagne are often served on board during these expeditions that are often accompanied by dolphins who make an appearance during this magical time of the day to greet the yachts and sailing vessels.

6

Scuba Diving

Revered as one of the best diving destinations on the planet, no trip to the Maldives would be complete without a scuba diving tour of HP Reef and other diving hubs. Teeming with marine life and coral species, divers will also find a number of shipwrecks to explore on the Maldivian seabed.

7

Private Island Dining

Those in search of romantic and unusual dining options can have a scrumptious dinner served to them by a personal butler on a secluded island.

8

Crab Racing

Hermit crabs are used in this bizarre but ultimately enjoyable sporting activity that pits the harmless creatures against one another while onlookers place bets on the winning crab.
