Drawing scores of visitors throughout the year to experience the picturesque tropical beaches, the archipelago of the Maldives also provides adrenaline pumping over the water activities as well as profound underwater experiences in discovering the throbbing marine life hidden within the ocean.
An ideal destination for those who love to ride the waves, novices as well as pros who have the opportunity to enjoy riding the waves across several different atolls. Whilst surfing is best during the months from April to October, a few niche resorts do provide the opportunity to experience those hard-to-access breaks in remote locations of late. Complete beginners from any modern Maldives resort are in good hands as there are many good surf schools to get you started.
Does dashing across the surface of the water behind a fast-moving watercraft thrill you? Water skiing is just that and one of the easiest power water sports one can master in no time. Mono skiing uses this same process with the exception being the rider's feet being strapped to a single ski instead of two skis. Mono skiing, therefore, gives more speed and hence exhilaration to the rider.
An amazing treat for your eyes is to explore the wonderous underwater life through snorkelling. Make this holiday memorable by enjoying a snorkelling experience in the tropical archipelago of the Maldives which is one of the best destinations for this sport. The spectacular colours of the corals and awesome schools of fish in vibrant hues and other marine life make it a surreal yet memorable experience as often requested by guests at Nova Maldives.
An exciting over-the-water activity for a small group of about six is the banana boat ride. Boarding the inflatable boat with your friends or family you get to have plenty of fun by trying desperately not to fall off the boat. Even if you do, there is no danger as you are given life jackets and will be picked up by the trained crew. Fun tubing is a more exhilarating version of banana boating with more speed as you bounce along with the waves.
Stand-up paddle boarding or stand-up paddle surfing (SUP) is a sport which had emerged in Hawaii and
Is widely used globally at present. Glide across the turquoise waters of the Maldives in various ways using these boards. Paddle by yourself, or with others, stand on the board or sit as you paddle. One can relax and the others paddle making it novel and enjoyable. On a shallow water day, you can even try snorkelling on the SUP.
Catamaran sailing is a relaxing sport in the Maldives offering you an unforgettable scenic experience of gliding across the tropical waters with the breeze soothing your skin. Whether you are an experienced sailor or a first timer this is one activity to leave you with a feeling of tranquillity as you savour the beauty around you.
