Timing your tour 

When do you plan to travel to the Maldives? If you are wondering as to how temperatures in the Maldives may differ during the year, fear not! Because the Maldives enjoys relatively a consistent temperature throughout the year.

However, the country enjoys two seasons- the wet and the dry. The dry season falls from November to April, and this is considered the best time to come to the Maldives. The peak season falls from December to March, during which the prices of almost everything go higher.

The duration of your tour 

How long will you be there in the Maldives? Well, the answer to this totally depends on your preference and the budget constraints. It's recommended to stay in the Maldives for at least 3 nights so that you can cover at least the main attractions of the country. If you wish to explore the country leisurely, it's best to stay in the Maldives for a week or two. If you plan to stay for more than one week, exploring 2-to 3 different islands here is always recommended. Yes, go island hopping like a pro!

Travelling to the Maldives

Did you know that coming to the Maldives from a neighbouring country like Sri Lanka is the best? That's one way you can plan your trip if you want to save some money. The Maldivian Airport is located on the island of Male (the capital island). If you are sure of your tour dates, book your flights in advance. The sooner you do, the better it is!

Staying in the Maldives

They say you can't stay in the Maldives on a budget, but that's not the truth! Choose one of the four-star hotels in Maldives for your stay, and this will fit your budget requirements as well. Opt for a good hotel option such as Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon which is rich with all recreation, dining and other hospitality services.

Go diving 

No Maldivian vacation is complete without a diving/snorkelling experience. You don't need to be a professional diver to try out this activity as even beginners can do it after a little bit of practice. In the Maldives, you can also snorkel with Whale Sharks and the gigantic Manta Rays.

Sunset cruises and boat rides

Sunsets are always magical, but the ones you get to enjoy when you are in the Maldives are much more magical. This is why you surely need to book a sunset cruise during your holiday. Do not also forget to enjoy a boat ride to see cheerful dolphins and other marine life. Both these experiences may incur some additional costs, but they are all worth it!

Other activities you may try 

When in the Maldives, you can also try out water adventures. Surfing, banana boating, kayaking, and jet skiing are all possible here in the Maldives. All you need is some confidence to try them out. If you are a foodie, try out authentic food, and then, visit the other attractions such as mosques especially when you are in Male. When doing so, make sure you adhere to modest clothing because that's what is recommended.
