Exciting Island Activities in Maldives for an Island Getaway for the Books

A holiday in a beautiful Maldives resort promises only one thing: utter relaxation in paradise. But aside from lounging by the white-sand beach and drinking a refreshing cocktail, there's a host of activities that can make an island getaway here truly unforgettable. Here are a few ways travelers can experience the best that Maldives has to offer.

Diving into crystal-blue waters
The waters in the spectacular seas of Maldives are clear enough for one to see as deep as 50 meters. Stunning coral reef formations, a wide collection of colorful marine creatures, and amazing shipwrecks are just some of the wonders that can get visitors captivated to the Maldivian underwater life. Seasoned divers and even beginners can enjoy a plunge down under, because most of premier resorts on the island give basic to advanced training and have top-of-the-line diving equipment.

Catching waves and trying water sports
There is no end to the aquatic fun in the island because resorts like Vakarufalhi Island Resort in Maldives have water sports centers that offer a range of water activities. The most popular of all is surfing. Enthusiasts from all over the world visit the island usually from June to September to catch massive swells with sizes ranging from 3 to 8 feet. Some resorts also offer surf cruises, which let guests experience thrilling waves in other parts of the island. For those who want alternative activities, there's windsurfing, parasailing, and kayaking.

Exploring the local areas
Visitors to Maldives can best experience the life on the charming island by exploring the local areas. Most of the Maldivian people live in fishing villages and harbor areas. A lot of tree shades, swings, and traditional wooden houses called holhaushi are set up on beaches where boats come in. Agriculture and manufacturing is also a thriving industry here. Meanwhile, some areas are good places for travelers to check out and buy souvenir handicrafts. Tourists can arrange excursions through their accommodation in Maldives.

Taking pictures from a seaplane
A breathtaking view of a lifetime is what seaplane flights in Maldives have to offer. Take stunning panoramic photos of beautiful islands surrounded by different hues of blue waters or just bask in the majestic scenery. Schools of dolphins, manta rays, and other marine animals might show up as the plane hovers above the water. Seaplane rides are best for tourists and professional photographers who want to engage in an activity apart from simply chilling in their Maldives resort accommodation, to capture a moment in paradise.
