As an archipelagic nation surrounded by nothing but turquoise blue seas, travellers heading to the Maldives can expect to find a whole host of exciting water sports sure to give your fill of fun and thrills. Unleash your inner thrill-seeker and savour what the alluring waters have got in store for you.
Year-round sunshine, crystal clear waters, colourful coral reefs and schools of tropical fishes, all join forces to make the Maldives one of the best places on earth for snorkelling and scuba diving. While scuba diving allows you to descend much deeper into the ocean, snorkelling is also just as exciting, as the crystal clear waters that surround the archipelagic nation let you treat your eyes to the treasures of the world underwater even just by gliding on the surface of the water.
Why limit your fun to the water when you can take it to the skies! Strap yourself to a parachute-like canopy wing that is attached to a speeding motorboat and enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the stunning archipelago parasailing. Those battling with fear of heights, brace yourselves and give parasailing a try to set your inner daredevil free. Be sure to grab a camera before you soar into the sky to capture the breathtaking sight that is sure to leave the folks on your ‘gram drooling.
Yearning thrill-seekers vacationing in the island nation of the Maldives, nothing promises your much-awaited rush of adrenaline like a thrilling jet ski ride. Hop on a wicked jet ski and whizz across the turquoise blue ocean at hair-raising speed! Channel some 007 James Bond moves and pull off a few crazy daredevil antics on the fly to let yourself enjoy the fullest of the adrenaline-pumping experience. While the fun and games are all very exhilarating, safety should always be a priority.
Water sports in the Maldives don’t always have to scare the living soul out of you. The mellow, laid-back folks also have something to have their fun in the water. Unlike the daredevil jet skiing and parasailing, banana boating or banana riding is a totally non-dangerous yet extremely fun water sport, which involves the riding of a banana-shaped inflatable boat. It is one of the most exciting group or family activities you could do in these alluring waters.
In the island nation of Maldives, sports activities on offer are abundant, but a slice of surf is a must no matter what exhilarating activity you decide to take on. In fact, your trip to the Maldives would not be complete without some surfing under your belt. So, hit the thrilling waters to catch a wave or two. After a day of fun-filled surfing, retreat to one of the finest resorts in the island nation the likes of Atmosphere Kanifushi.
