The blissful Maldivian archipelago, popular across the world is located on the Indian Ocean. The over 1000 coral islands, that make up the nation are well known for their allures of sun-bleached beaches, clear waters, modern water sports and island vibes. Here are the most popular activities.
Snorkelling is for everyone, regardless of age or size and if you enjoying a stay at a Maldives luxury resort like The Residence Maldives by Cenizaro, then all you do is swim out to the nearest reef. The warm waters surrounding the island are teeming with all manner of tropical fish, from the enormous manta rays to laid-back sea turtles, colourful little fish and the occasional cheeky dolphin. The coral formations are pretty impressive and can be clearly viewed since the water is often very clear affording one view to depths of 30 metres in some places. Definitely one of the most popular things to do in Maldives snorkelling will be your most rewarding experience there.
Water flying is for the fit and strong, and if you are after that rush of adrenaline the experience is unparalleled to any other. Enjoy the thrills of whizzing across the water and trying your best to resist the push back.
A rather crazy type of sport to enjoy in the Maldives, fun tubing is wholly recommended if you love a good laugh and loads of splashy fun. Each session lasts for around 8 minutes and its loads of nail-biting action, trying to hang in the tube of rubber being dragged across the ocean.
Soar like a bird over the Indian Ocean with a bout of parasailing in the Maldives. Perfect to enjoy a day on the beach – and 'over' the water, parasailing helps you glide to incredible heights over the sea; the views are pretty cool, especially if you are surrounded by smaller coral islands.
As a fisher nation, the Maldives takes fishing very seriously and you must book these tours via you resort in the Maldives or a recommended tour operator, who knows the laws governing fishing in the Maldives. Well, with the nitty-gritty out of the way, deep sea fishing in the Maldives helps even the most novice fisherman or woman to bring home an abundant catch.
