Must-Try Adventure Activities in the Maldives - Make the best of your trip!

Maldivian archipelago, spread across the Indian Ocean, consists of over 1000 islands. Adventure and water activities are plentiful and varied offering you a chance to enjoy action both above and below the waves. Here are some you can try!

1

Enjoy Glass Bottomed Boat Rides

Glass-bottomed boat rides are ideal for enjoying the bounty below the waves; without getting wet. The boats are equipped with glass-panelled bases that allow passengers to see beautiful corals and marine life just below the boat. Ideal for tourists unable to get on the water to enjoy the best of the coral atolls, these boat services are available across the archipelago.

Surf the Waves and Enjoy the Tropics

The Maldives offers a variety of surfing destinations. Beckoning both professional and amateur surfers, the islands offer excellent breaks for you to enjoy some adrenaline-pumping action. Just a short speed boat ride from your luxury Maldives hotel, these surf destinations are found at some of the most stunning locations on the island. Alternatively, you could hook onto a Surf Safari and tour the islands surfing at both popular and lesser-known destinations.

Scuba Diving in Maldives

Diving in the Maldives is very rewarding. Home to some of the world’s best dive locations, the coral atolls are surrounded by verdant thilas and reefs that make diving a first-class treat. A typical dive in the warm waters surrounding the archipelago will reward you with sights of elusive whale sharks, reef sharks, giant manta rays, barracuda, swordfish, tuna, turtles, moray eels, colourful coral formations, sea anemones and beautiful tropical fish exuding a myriad of colours. Many dive sites close to Summer Island Maldives offer an intense experience. Diving activities in Maldives are so popular that most luxury resorts feature an in-house dive school offering amateur divers aged 10 and above a chance to acquire PADI certification and enjoy the wonders below the waves.

Take Part in a Snorkelling Safari

Snorkelling can be enjoyed by anyone. You don’t need special equipment or special abilities to enjoy the colours below the waves. Simply rent out a snorkel and fins and set off right from the beach of your Maldives resort. The coral atolls are always abounding in a variety of marine life and spotting the occasional sea turtle is quite a treat. The corals that grow up to the surface are home to various little fish that dart in and out of the sea plants.

Big Game and Sunset Fishing

Maldivians are professionals in the art of fishing. Many resorts or private clubs offer big game fishing to both amateurs and professionals. Expert guides will ensure that you don’t return disappointed no matter your skill level. Besides, the waters are abounding in tuna, barracuda, swordfish, Napoleon wrasse and much more, making it virtually impossible to return empty-handed. Sunset fishing is a romantic affair; set off into the folds of the Indian Ocean as the sun dips behind the horizon.
