The Maldives islands are as beautiful as they are wondrous. On the surface, they are saturated with tropical beauty and stunning sun-swept beaches. There's more magic waiting beneath the waters.
If you're someone who enjoys riding waves then the Maldives islands are definitely a worthy travel destination for you. All of the various top surfing locales around the island nation are only a short boat ride away, and any resort Maldives has to offer such as the Kurumathi Island Resort should be able to provide transport to the desired areas.
The true wonders of the Maldives islands are located beneath the surface and you're going to have to find a way to see underneath the waters if you wish to make the most of your retreat. If you're not a fan of getting wet, then this is the best way for you to do so. Travelling on a glass bottom boat will enable you to glimpse the stunning coral formations and the diverse range of exotic sea creatures contained within Maldivian waters. These are definitely going to be sights you won't soon forget.
A cruise such as this will take you all over the waters of the Maldives and enable you to obtain a close look at the nation's marine wonders. There are many atolls that combine to form the island nation, and each one of them have a unique range of wonders contained beneath their waters. A snorkeling safari is the easiest way to ensure you get the most out of your island adventure, especially if you are short of time. Almost anyone can snorkel, and it doesn't require any additional training or experience.
A popular experience to be had on the Maldives islands is a fishing tour. There is an incredibly diverse range of fish within the waters of the Maldives, ranging from tiny colourful ones, to larger and more menacing varieties. Fishing however, is only conducted on a strict catch and release basis, due to the sustainable nature of most of the resorts on the island collectively. Regardless of whether you'd like to capture something really big or opt for the casual thrill of fishing, the providers will cater to your needs, just as long as the fish is reunited with the sea; safe and sound.
This is arguably the pinnacle of all the adventures to be had in and around the Maldives. There's no better way to experience the true wonders contained within the Maldives than heading out on a scuba dive to interact with the corals and underwater wildlife of the Maldivian waters. The incredible creatures to be glimpsed range from colourful coral-fish to endangered species such as sea turtles and several varieties of shark. Even if you're not an experienced diver, there are many places that will make the necessary arrangements for you. If you'd like to obtain your PADI certification, there's probably no place better to do so than the Maldives.
