In the Maldives, water sports aren't just activities, they are gateways to unforgettable activities on, below and even above the waves! Of course, since there’s so much to choose from, you can look forward to trying a water sport each day. Here are five of them you should not miss.
If you are looking for an activity that's perfect for families or a group of friends, banana boat and fun tube rides are a fantastic choice. Imagine the laughter and screams of delight as you and your loved ones hold on tight while being towed behind a speedboat on an inflatable banana-shaped inflatable or tube. The turquoise waters will provide the backdrop to this exhilarating escapade, making it a memory you will treasure forever. It's the ideal way to bond, share a few laughs, and feel the wind in your hair as you bounce across the waves.
In this destination, snorkelling is an activity that the whole family can enjoy. One of the best ways to make the most of your snorkelling experience is to choose an all-inclusive plan at a resort in Maldives; sports activities aside, the ideal property will also offer complimentary use of snorkelling equipment and daily snorkelling excursions. You will have a chance to encounter a stunning array of marine life as well as literally find ‘Nemo’ aka clownfish! To add to this experience, you can also consider night snorkelling which puts a whole new spin on nocturnal adventures!
For those who seek a deeper connection with the ocean, diving is a must. When choosing your resort, look for one such as Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives with a PADI-licensed dive centre for a safe and unforgettable experience. The Lhaviyani Atoll is renowned as one of the best places for diving, offering a rich diversity of marine life and vibrant coral as well as submerged wreck sites like The Shipyard. As you descend into the depths, you can encounter manta rays, sharks, and an array of fish species that will leave you awestruck.
For the thrill of the catch, big game fishing in Maldives is an experience that will get your heart racing. Whether you prefer trolling or casting, the waters here are teeming with various denizens of the deep which will test your skill. Imagine the exhilaration as you ‘battle’ against a powerful marlin or sailfish or the adrenaline surge as you fight to reel in a yellowfin tuna. Deep-sea fishing is a challenge that fishing enthusiasts dream of, and you will have the opportunity to cast your line under the brilliant sun and endless horizon.
For a taste of the extraordinary, don't miss the chance to soar high above the ocean while parasailing. As you are lifted into the sky, the world below transforms into a breathtaking panorama of islands, sea, and sky. It's a thrilling sensation, one that combines the serenity of flight with the excitement of water sports. As you sail through the air, you will have a newfound perspective on the beauty of this tropical paradise, and the sense of freedom is truly awe-inspiring.
