The Maldives is a funfilled country that has excursions for the young, the old and anyone in between as there are activities to get your heartbeat racing and activities that are soothing to the soul.
A sunset cruise in the Maldives is a must-do activity as you get to sail towards the horizon watching the colours change on the sky along with the reflection in the Indian Ocean.
If you are staying at a hotel or resort such as Grand Park Kodhipparu and wish to enjoy some shopping you can head to the open-air markets and enjoy the shopping experience where you can go from one market to the other from morning till evening.
It is no secret that the Maldives is a surfer's paradise as there are so many different locations you can go surfing even during the off-season.
Snorkelling is a lovely activity to take up in the Maldives as you will be able to witness stunningly colourful fish along with intricate and iridescent coral reefs.
Parasailing is not an activity for the faint at heart and is also an activity that is available at many Maldives villas. You can find locations where parasailing is available and it is best to make prior bookings to avoid disappointment.
Jet skiing is not an activity that requires experience as you can ride the jet ski with an instructor or professional rider or by yourself if you are bold enough to do so.
For those who like doing activities in groups, the banana boat rides are a good option and they can be enjoyed by anyone in the family or even by a group of friends.
You will be able to swim with the marine animals while exploring the great depths of the Indian Ocean that surrounds the Maldives.
Similar to most other water sports you can find the necessary gear from the roadside shops for purchase or rent and then enjoy bodyboarding in the sea from dawn to dusk.
There are many cruises you can select from in order to be able to see the dancing dolphins in their natural habitat.
With over 1200 islands that create the country, island hopping is one of the best activities you can take up in order to explore the Maldives to its best.
Street Food in the Maldives is just as delightful as the rest of the food in the country and Mas Huni, Masroshi and Garudhiya are three of the must-try street food dishes.
The glowing beach on Vadhoo Island is a beautiful location and once in a lifetime experience. The glowing beach is created by the bioluminescent plankton that can be seen only in certain warm beach waters.
Beach parties are always a hoot and if you get the opportunity you should definitely be a part of a beach party in the Maldives, especially one of the glow in the dark parties.
If you are heading to these magical islands with your better half, you should definitely plan to enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner by the sea
