The best things to do in the Maldives – the marvel called Maldives

It's nothing but the natural beauty that attracts a huge influx of tourists into Maldives. So just pack your bags and head out for a larger-than-life adventure around Maldives.

1

Swim with whale sharks or manta rays.

Whale sharks and manta rays are a scary adventure. But in Maldives, it is more than a mere scary adventure. You can well afford look into those golf-ball-shaped big eyes with hardly any fear. Just observe their small teeth and lower jaw.
If you think your presence will disturb these giant creatures, you are mistaken. They would just cruise along hardly noticing your presence.

2

Visit a traditional Maldivian village

Maldivian village brings you to a totally new world. It is not the usual sight you get to see in brochures. It offers you the glimpse of a real Maldivian traditional lifestyle. Interestingly, you cannot just get into a boat and take a walk around the village. You are supposed to get the permission of the Island Head. Of course, you need that, as the villages are not direct tourist attractions.
In the villages, you get to see villagers trying to earn living. Just look at these villagers and you will have totally new experience. And remember, you are not supposed to consume any kind of alcohol in these villages, as Maldives is a Muslim country. You can get more information from any Maldives Resort Hotel such as Anantara Veli Maldives Resort. It is good to roam around with a tourist guide as well, since you get a chance to communicate with the villagers.

Explore Malé, the capital of Maldives

Everybody loves Maldives for its white sand beaches. But that fabulous scenery is luxury in Male. You cannot see any of that scenery. Male is quite crowded. And you will come across a lot of tall buildings, shops and restaurants where a totally new lifestyle is breathing in.
Male is a typical commercial capital and there are various places of interest that you can visit. They include the Maldives National Museum. The museum is now located in where it used to be the Sultan's palace.

Join local fishermen

Maldives is an island where fishing is one of the main sources of income. So joining a group of local fishermen will offer you a lifetime experience.

Fishing is of course one great outdoor activity that you shall not miss once you have touched down this beautiful island called Maldives.
