The Maldives is a tropical haven where you get to experience the best of paradise – its exciting range of water sports is just one of the many treats it has in line for you! Feel the surge of adrenaline as you try out these fun sports in the blue azures of the Maldives.
Parasailing is a sport where you get to fly above the sea in the Maldives; it would offer you the ultimate bird’s eye view of the lush greens and the striking blues of the Maldives. It is a much-loved sport in this country where you’ll be harnessed to the parasail wing – a parachute-like canopy that acquires the help of the wind to lift you towards the sky. You will be driven into the sea using a high-speed boat and the parasail wing will gradually lift you into the air offering eye-candy vistas of the surroundings. Unlike paragliding, here, you’ll be attached to the safety of a boat.
Calling all adrenaline junkies – mount a jet ski and head towards the horizon to experience that heady rush of adrenaline in your veins. That exhilarating feeling will be the ultimate treat to your senses and the incredible thrill you get by riding between the waves until your surroundings become a blur will be your ultimate reward. Well, it’s not only the joy of speed that you can look forward to when you zoom around on a jet ski, but you can also reap amazing health benefits out of it as well.

This adrenaline-inducing sport was introduced to the world in 2012, and it soon gained popularity in many countries including the Maldives. It is indeed an intoxicating experience as you’re held high above the deep blues of the Arabian Sea by the help of an hydroflighting device. Once you get used to the experience, you can even bring yourself to enjoy the panoramic views of the beautiful Maldives.
