When it comes to the Maldives, sunbathing on one of its picture-perfect beaches is perhaps the first image that comes to mind. But this destination has so much more in store as you can read below.
The Maldives is undoubtedly a haven for all those windsurfers out there. Windsurfing may look like a breeze, but be warned, it requires some real skill, and unless you know your way around the waves, it can present itself as rather tricky. However, Maldives has plenty of spots where you can either surf as a novice or an expert. In fact, ardent wind surfers from around the globe flock to the shores of this nation to experience windsurfing Maldivian style. Thanks to the ever-inviting weather conditions year-round, windsurfing is a treat during most months of the year. However, the windy season in the Maldives, which falls between October and February, is the ideal time for the sport. For those still new to windsurfing, Maldives also has a number of surfing schools where surfing lessons are provided year-round.
Snorkelling really is a treat in a destination like the Maldives. With an underwater world that feels like the aquatic version of Eden, there really is so much to bask in underneath the surface of the sea. In fact, there are several secluded regions in every nook and corner of this archipelago of islands where you can snorkel to your heart's content. Whether you plan on exploring Hammerhead Point, look for the Manta Rays of Bull Bull, or decide to take part in a Turtle Quest, Maldives is one destination where you can discover the wonders of the underwater world in the most unbridled fashion.
As the name has it, you need to do a bit of paddling for this one. The best part is you can tick off the holiday calorie-burning routine and may feel a little less guilty devouring all that delicious Maldivian food during the rest of your stay. This sport is yet another activity that calls for minimal skills. There are several lovely spots around the Maldives for those keen on paddle sports and the best part is none of them will disappoint. In the Maldives, places to visit are plenty but indulging in activities like this is where the real treat awaits.
Since the Maldives has a lot to do with fishing, fishing for fun is very popular in this part of the world. The best part about big game fishing is that the fish you catch does not in any way go to waste. You can either release the fish back into the ocean or bring it back to your accommodation to have it cooked for you.
Now, this really is as exciting as it sounds. If you are located around OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI or any other Maldives resort, you must experience the rich underwater world of the Maldives in a submarine. The best part is, throughout your expedition, you get to stay completely dry, and you also get to tick that submarine ride off your bucket list.
