How to Make Your Maldives Trip an Adventurous One – Fun-filled Experiences for All

If you are heading to the Maldives to enjoy lazy days in the sun and relaxing on the beach, then you have plenty to look forward to. However, if you also plan on engaging in some thrilling and adventurous activities, you won't be disappointed either! From underwater escapades to action-packed rides on the water, there's never a dull moment here and these are some of the key things you can try when on holiday.

Go Snorkelling

Amongst the easiest water sports in Maldives to get the hang of, snorkelling can be enjoyed by the entire family and what's more, no prior experience is needed. You can enjoy snorkelling right from the shore or be taken to a nearby house reef where you will be able to spot colourful coral and a myriad of marine species. Look to stay at a resort that offers complimentary snorkelling equipment for guests as well as special all-inclusive packages that include daily guided snorkelling excursions to key reefs in an atoll.

Be it in the ocean or a tranquil lagoon, there's much to see below the water's surface. On your adventures, you may encounter pipefish, lionfish, Picasso triggerfish, clownfish, surgeonfish and parrotfish to name but a few. Depending on where you snorkel, you may also see larger marine creatures too; these can include green sea turtles, blacktip reef sharks, nurse sharks, barracuda, eagle rays and manta rays.

Head-off on Diving Trips

To add to the adventure of underwater exploration, nothing beats diving which takes you deeper to hidden spots where coral and marine life thrive. Apart from snorkelling, some resorts the likes of Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives also offer access to dive centres where you can get the needed PADI training and certification be it for beginners or advanced divers.

Amongst the best places for diving in Maldives is the Lhaviyani Atoll, blessed with some amazing dive sites such as the Anemone Thila, Alihaa Giri and The Shipyard which features two wrecks to discover. Besides hard and soft coral, divers may see Napoleon wrasse, grey reef sharks, hammerhead sharks, barracudas, eagle rays, stingrays, turtles and depending on one's luck, pilot whales too. For something different, some dive centres also offer night dives which provide a whole new perspective of the marine environment after the sun goes down.

Enjoy Non-Motorized Water Sports

Aside from snorkelling and diving, there are plenty of other activities in Maldives to try, which provide equally captivating adventures. This includes a diverse selection of non-motorized water sports that can be enjoyed at private island resorts. Ideally, check if there's an all-inclusive package that features unlimited access to such water sports throughout one's stay.

Amongst such activities are stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing and kayaking which are similar; the calm lagoon and ocean waters are ideal for these water sports and apart from a great way to explore the areas surrounding an island, they offer a good cardio workout too! The winds that blow across the atolls are also well-suited for windsurfing and catamaran sailing which are worth trying as well.

Try Motorized Water Sports

If you crave adventures with some speed-filled fun, then motorized water sports are perfect. One of the relatively newer activities is flyboarding which will be truly unforgettable as you lift off, powered by water pressure. For more exhilaration, you can head off on exciting jet-ski rides and enjoy wakeboarding as well with the wind in your hair as you skim along the water.

Fun tube rides offer an adrenaline-charged experience that's not to be missed too, while you also get parasailing; this activity may start in the water, but soon you will be lifted into the air, flying high above amidst some amazing views of the magical coastal scenery around you.

With that in mind, these are some things you should know about the various modes of local transport before you visit the Maldives.   By Seaplanes Seaplane Transportation in Maldives |Image via Pixabay One way to get about the Maldives is by way of seaplane which as you might expect, offers breathtaking views of the islands and atolls.
