There is an array of exciting water sports in Maldives for the leisure seeker including kayaking, standup paddleboarding, snorkelling, diving, jet skiing and banana boating; in fact, it may be said that your holiday here would be incomplete without trying out such water activities!
An appealing water sport to indulge in during your holiday in this island nation would be kayaking. This would be an easy-to-enjoy and rewarding water activity that would appeal to many visitors. On your kayaking excursion, you would have the opportunity to take to the gleaming waters of the Indian Ocean and explore the surroundings of these islands at your own pace. You could take in the inspiring views both above and below the water, admire the stunning natural scenery and get a great cardio workout as well!
Another attractive non-motorized water sport to try would be stand-up paddleboarding. In this popular water activity, you would stand on the floating board and use the large paddle to move across the water. As you might expect, this would be an enjoyable experience and wouldn’t be excessively difficult to learn. Much like kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding would also provide you with a useful workout as it would improve your balance, strengthen the core and provide cardiovascular benefits. It would be regarded as a low-impact activity that many visitors to the islands could engage in as well.
A relatively simple and enjoyable water activity that would be accessible to many holidaymakers in the Maldives would be snorkelling. By going snorkelling, you would be able to gain a glimpse into the entrancing underwater attractions of the Indian Ocean. If you possess basic swimming skills, you should be able to engage in this rewarding water activity that can be tried by young and old alike. As you snorkel in the tranquil waters, you will encounter beautiful coral reefs and eye-catching sea creatures of all colours, shapes and sizes!
To genuinely experience the undersea marvels hidden beneath the waters of the Maldives, you would have to venture out on a scuba diving excursion. As you delve deeper beneath the waves, you can admire the spectacular underwater scenery and encounter exotic marine creatures like vibrantly coloured fish, reef sharks and manta rays. Novice divers would have the opportunity to avail themselves of expert instruction in this activity as well. A private island resort to consider from which you could go diving and engage in other thrilling water sports activities in Maldives would be the appealingly situated OBLU SELECT Lobigili.
Jet skiing would be an outstanding choice for those craving more speedier excitement as there could hardly be a more satisfying experience than surging through the waters astride one of these powerful watercraft. As you might expect, the idyllic Maldives would be a marvellous setting for jet skiing with the sunny tropical weather, gleaming waters and breathtaking island backdrops adding to the pleasure of this activity.
A rather different yet equally exciting water sport that you could enjoy during your visit to the islands would be banana boating; this would be a popular activity for the whole family as it wouldn’t require specialized skills. All that is needed would be to fit on your lifejacket, be strapped to the banana-shaped inflatable and hold on; the driver of the motorboat or speedboat towing you would do the rest, taking additional turns and twists for your entertainment on an unforgettable ride!
