The Maldives is made up of so many different islands and apart from the stunning beaches, the country is also popular for numerous watersports for kids, adults and couples with varying interests. Here is a list of a few of them.
The Maldives is not just a great location for experienced surfers, but it's also suitable for beginners as well. Here you will find many surfing schools with experienced coaches that can help you make your first surfing experience a memorable one.
Windsurfing is an exciting watersport that combines the waves of the sea and the wind that blows to enjoy gliding in the ocean.
This is a wonderful activity that a family can do together as kids will also love being able to swim with colourful fish, turtles and even stingrays. You will find snorkelling almost everywhere including the beaches close to some of the most famous Maldives attractions.
Scuba Diving is ideal for those who love exploring the great depths of the ocean as you can explore the marine life or wrecked ships off the coast of the Maldives.
Most hotels and resorts such as Heritance Aarah Maldives are located on individual islands which encourage customers to go island hopping. If you wish to go island hopping in an extremely exciting way you can opt to do so on a jet ski.
Kayaking is mostly done alone just so you can enjoy the tranquillity of Maldives. But you can also try this activity in a group perhaps with your friends or family so you can make memories together.
Waterboarding sport is a thrilling activity where you get to ride on the sea on a board as the boat in from of you speeds up ahead.
Although similar to the waterboarding activity by name bodyboarding is a lot simpler. You get to ride the waves at your speed without worrying about falling off the board as you paddle with your hands and enjoy the waves as they lift you and bring you down.
Flyboarding looks like an extreme sport but it is not and it can even be enjoyed by teenagers and children. If you remember not to keep looking down but to keep looking forward you will be able to thoroughly enjoy this sport.
Catamaran sailing is not for everyone as this is not an exciting sport but more of a watersport that requires patience that allows you to enjoy the scenery from up above!
Banana boat and fun tube rides are a perfect opportunity for parents and kids to spend time together as these doughnut and banana-shaped boats can usually carry up to 4 – 6 people at a time.
For those who love witnessing marine life but are unable to go snorkelling the best option is a glass-bottom boat ride as you will get to see the fish the corals and a variety of other animals.
