Things to do in the Maldives

Who doesn’t dream of going to the Maldives at least once in their lifetime? Going to the Maldives for a vacation has become a trend nowadays and deep inside we all imagine ourselves doing underwater diving, sitting on the beach, looking at beautiful sunsets, and much more.

There’s so much to explore in this place as there are around 1,190 islands and only 200 are inhabited among them. What makes the Maldives a dream destination for everyone is its luxury accommodations extending over turquoise waters reaching out from the white sand beaches. The soft and shiny sand fade into colorful reefs beneath the brilliantly blue waters of the sea. I’m sure you’ll also love this as much as I did.

This place is not just about basking in the sun, sipping cocktails, and watching sunsets over the Indian Ocean, it is much more than that. But all this needs to be explored. So, here I’ll be sharing my own experiences from my trip to the Maldives.

Scuba Diving
Scuba Diving has always been on my bucket list since childhood. So, I learned scuba diving here. And I believe it was one of my best decisions to learn this as the experience was so calming and beautiful.

Snorkeling Trip
If you are not comfortable with diving then you can go snorkeling. The reefs are so pristine here in the Maldives that going deep inside the water is not required.

Dolphin Watching
I believe this is one of the amazing things to do in the Maldives. Just before sunset, I along with my group set out in search of pods of dolphins and it didn’t take so much time for us to spot one. The view was really beautiful!

Island Hopping
Believe it or not, there is a large settlement in the Maldives as well and many locals live here and work for their living on the islands. Taking some time to roam around the area is always a good idea. So, took a walking tour and met some amazing locals on the way.

Surfing
No doubt! The Maldives is known for its world-class surfing. Shout out to all the adrenaline junkies, surfing has your calling as it is one of the best things to do in the Maldives.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding
If you are someone who is not t into surfing, paddleboarding is another great option. You can easily paddle in safe bays with water so clean and clear that you can see fish swimming right below your boards.

Spa Time
Who doesn’t love a pampering session on a trip? I love to have some “Me Time” and pamper myself. After all, we have come on a trip for the relaxation of our mind, body, and soul.

Scenic Flight over the Islands
Trust me, there’s something magical about seeing shades of water from up above the clouds. You will be astonished to see the amazing views from the top.

The experiences of Maldives cater to the taste buds of every kind of traveler. So, even if you haven’t planned your trip to the Maldives, I would recommend you to plan for it ASAP! And remember to don’t forget to indulge in the water sports there.
