A very different kind of activity is undertaking a fishing expedition at the time of sunset. Even if you have no previous fishing experience, you could try your hand at this endeavour; the local crew will help you to place some suitable bait on a string so that you can take part in this pursuit. Further, if you happen to land a sizable catch like a grouper, snapper or jackfish, many of the resorts would be happy to cook it for you for a tasty meal!

Stand-up paddleboarding

Whilst there are numerous enjoyable water activities to try out in the Maldives, an attractive one that many visitors could engage in is stand-up paddleboarding. In this activity, you would stand on a specially designed board and propel yourself across the waters with a paddle.
