06 Fantastic Things to Do in the Maldives – An Archipelago of Fabulous Treats!

Snorkelling is a number one experience in the Maldives! The sport can be taken up by anyone, regardless of age or size, and in most cases, all you do is swim to the nearest reef from the beach of your Maldives resort. Many of the resorts in the Maldives are surrounded by a house reef and places like Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort, are perfect for enjoying a bout of snorkelling where you come across turtles, colourful little fish etc. while exploring the beautiful coral formations. The water surrounding the archipelago is very clear offering views to depths of 30 metres in most places, ideal for viewing the fantastic range of marine life thriving in that part of the Indian Ocean.

If you are after an adrenaline rush, then do try some water flying. A sport that requires some form of fitness, such as having strength in your abs and legs, water flying is one of the most fun things you will experience in the Maldives.

The Maldives is perfect for having a splashing good time on the water, and fun tubing is one of those sports that you must try to enhance your carefree mood. Each session lasts about 8 minutes and is loads of laughs and good times.

Parasailing is not only exciting but a treat, giving you a beautiful bird's eye view of the gorgeous archipelago. You can check with your Maldives resort for parasailing tours which generally last about 15 minutes. Provided you are not afraid of heights, the experience is quite memorable, especially as you sail across the blue sky with the sunny archipelago spread below.

The Maldives is home to some of the world's best diving locations, and whether you are a seasoned diver or novice it does not matter if you feel the urge to explore the beautiful world below the waves. Novice divers will find most of the resorts in the Maldives are home to dive centres, where expert coaches will soon have you ready to explore the depths. And it is quite a marvellous treat as a diving adventure in the Maldives consists of coming across Manta Rays, elusive Whale Sharks, schools of reef sharks and much more. You get to swim through underwater caves, explore sunken reefs and dive through old shipwrecks.

Adventure and romance go hand in hand in the Maldives, and nothing is more enchanting than sailing into a sunset with the one you love. The cruises aboard a luxurious dhoni, a traditional Maldivian vessel, consists of dinner at sea and a chance to experience the magical night sky as your boat sways on the gentle swell of the ocean.
