While you may have an idea of all the best things to do in Maldives, keep in mind you do get some experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Looking for a holiday that offers just such unforgettable memories? Read on to see what you should add to your list of activities!
Snorkel with Sharks
Snorkelling isn’t just about seeing colourful reef fish. Embark on a guided excursion with a resident marine biologist of your Maldives private island resort and prepare for mesmerising encounters with sharks! Rest assured, these majestic creatures are harmless, especially under the watchful eye of a professional guide. Get ready to glide alongside graceful reef sharks or witness the awe-inspiring bulk of a whale shark, the largest fish on the planet!
Surf the Kandooma Right
This destination boasts some of the world’s most incredible breaks, and the legendary Kandooma Right is a definite highlight. Directly accessible in front of Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives, this iconic break offers a challenge for experienced surfers. Get ready to carve through long, barrelling waves before they break over a 100-metre reef. Remember, the peak surf season falls between March and November, so book your adventure in advance!
Explore Sunken Wrecks
The Maldives isn’t just a haven for coral reefs. Scuba diving enthusiasts can explore a fascinating underwater world that includes intriguing shipwrecks teeming with marine life. Stay at a resort that offers PADI certification courses and guided dives to these underwater marvels. One such site is the Kuda Giri Wreck in South Male Atoll, a haven for clownfish, glassfish, lionfish, turtles, and an array of other marine wonders.
Embark on Fishing Expeditions
Enjoy the chance to head off on fishing expeditions, day or night. Start your day with an exhilarating sunrise big game fishing; set sail from your resort in Maldives with an experienced crew and skipper, and test your skills against magnificent creatures like sailfish, marlin, or wahoo. For a local experience, try traditional hand-line fishing at night under a starlit sky. The best part? You can either grill your catch yourself or let the resort’s chefs use it to whip up a delicious meal!
