Whenever there’s a discussion about tropical destinations and beaches, chances are the Maldives is mentioned. It’s one of the most popular tropical countries, offering unforgettable adventures.
The Maldives redefines thrilling adventures by offering you the chance to snorkel with whale sharks! Imagine swimming alongside some of the biggest and most majestic creatures of the marine world. No matter their size, they pose no threat to you, so there’s nothing to worry about. They’re peaceful and accustomed to humans, giving you an almost interactive experience – but do not touch them. The Maldives is one of the few places where you can see these gentle giants all year long, especially around South Ari Atoll. You don’t need top-notch snorkelling skills to enjoy this experience, as most tours cater to beginners. So, just put on your snorkelling gear and get ready for an experience that will stay with you forever.
If you’re looking for an adventure above water, sign up for a catamaran sailing experience. It’s an excellent way to explore the scattered islands and have fun with friends and family. While tour operators offer this activity, many resorts also provide many organised water activities, including catamaran sailing. For instance, Heritance Aarah offers this experience along with many others. Catamaran sailing is an amazing adventure because it’s a perfect mix of thrill and relaxation. You can spot dolphins and enjoy the sunset, and if you want a break from the ‘usual’, you can stop by a nearby island for a swim in the surrounding waters. Catamaran sailing truly offers a bit of everything and is one of the top things to do in Maldives.
You probably know that the Maldives is one of the best destinations for diving and with good reason. Scuba diving enthusiasts travel to the Maldives in search of the ultimate diving experience, and they find it. Why is the Maldives so popular for diving? It’s all about its stunning marine world. Corals of all sizes and colours populate the ocean floor, while marine creatures such as whale sharks, turtles, and manta rays swim around going about their day – and you’ll be part of this underwater world. Don’t worry if you have no diving experience; the Maldives caters to everyone. And if you’re serious, you can even get your PADI certification here.
How about something that truly defines thrilling? Something like jet skiing, perhaps? The Maldives is one of the destinations where you can enjoy a jet skiing session. However, keep in mind that not every resort offers this activity, so if it’s on your must-do list, make sure your chosen resort provides it. Jet skiing takes the adventure up a notch. The speed, the ocean, and the wind in your hair create a combination that’s exceptionally exhilarating. Many resorts offer jet skis and guided tours, so you’ll be all set for an unforgettable adventure.
This is the perfect combination of wind and waves – an open invitation for thrill seekers. Windsurfing in the Maldives is a must-try. To know why, you simply have to experience it. Don’t worry if you’re not an experienced windsurfer; the Maldives offers ideal conditions for beginners. Plus, many resorts provide lessons and equipment. What about the pros? Well, your dreams are about to come true.
Another classic high-energy activity, water skiing is a must-try. The Maldives offers the perfect setting for this, with its warm tropical waters and sunny skies. As usual, the country caters to all skill levels. Even if you have no idea what water skiing is, you can give it a try during your time in the Maldives. Some resorts offer water skiing as part of their activity packages.
