The Maldives is a group of coral islands and atolls in the Indian Ocean. The best way to explore its beautiful beaches and marine life is to take a boat tour. These are some of the best boat tours available:
The Maldives offers some of the best snorkelling and diving in the world, thanks to its calm waters and magical coral reefs. Maldivian resorts offer boat trips that transport visitors to the best diving and snorkelling spots. Here, you can view coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, turtles, manta rays and whale sharks. Some of the top sites to visit include Banana Reef, Maaya Thila, and Ari Atoll. These tours are safe, and equipment and guides will be provided to ensure that you have a memorable experience.
Do you want to see beautiful marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? Just embark on a whale-watching tour. There are 20 species of whales and dolphins in the Maldivian waters. The tours usually start in the morning or late afternoon, when dolphins are most active. Spinner and bottlenose dolphins are the most common and tourists will enjoy watching their acrobatic displays. The Maldives is one of the top destinations in the world for whale watching, so this is an activity that shouldn’t be missed.
The perfect boat trip for honeymoon couples in the Maldives is a sunset cruise in a traditional dhoni. It's a great way to admire the beauty of the ocean and watch the sunset over the horizon. Visitors will find many resorts in the Maldives that offer sunset cruises that are tailor-made for couples. Enjoy a glass of champagne while taking in the views around you. It is sure to be a trip to remember.
Fishing makes up a large part of many people's livelihoods in the Maldives. A fishing trip will give you an authentic look at how the locals live. You'll have a few choices when it comes to booking a fishing trip – you could opt for big game fishing, or night fishing to catch reef fish. Night fishing is the most popular, and visitors will have to use hand lines. Wrap up your trip with a barbecue, where you’ll be able to taste your fresh catch.
Since there are so many islands to explore in the Maldives, the best way to get about it is on an island hopping trip. You could book a trip to go catamaran sailing in the Maldives at resorts such as Heritance Aarah. Catamarans are faster than sailboats, and an island-hopping trip will allow visitors to explore several islands in a day. Travel to uninhabited islands to admire the untouched surroundings, or experience local culture and view luxury resort islands.
Liveaboard cruises are perfect for travellers who want to explore the Maldives in style. These cruises usually take 7-10 days and will transport you to the most beautiful locations in the atolls, and the best snorkelling and diving spots. The highlight of these trips is the comfortable accommodation and high-class services. You’ll be taken to a new island every day – so it’s a great way to explore!
