With vast stretches of clean sandy beaches overlooking the pristine azure waters of the Indian Ocean, the thin line between fantasy and reality quickly disappears in Maldives. If lazing by the ocean, sun bathing while sipping on a tropical cocktail is what your beach dreams are made of, Maldives is the ideal vacation destination.

However, you would be mistaken if you believe that is all Maldives has to offer. The country is a paradise for thrill seekers and has quite a few surprises up its sleeve. If you are feeling adventurous, here is a list of activities to explore when in Maldives.

1. Snorkeling

The pristine Maldivian coral reef is the ideal place to snorkel if you are not keen on deep-sea diving but want to explore the thriving marine ecosystem. The Maldivian waters support a lively aquatic colony, complete with different varieties of fish, sharks, turtles and other species. Swimming in it is a great way to fight thalassophobia.

2. Diving

Maldives is one of the most stunning diving spots on earth. Most maldives luxury resorts can arrange scuba diving expeditions for guests. You could also ask your travel planner for a package that includes scuba diving. One of the major benefits of diving in Maldives is the warm water, which means there is no need to put on a wet suit. Plus, the crystal-clear water offers great visibility.

3. Surfing

Maldives has a few pro surf spots if you are adventurous enough. Cinnamon Dhonveli is one of the most popular spots on the pro circuit, and is considered one of the best globally. There are numerous beginner-friendly spots too if you are intimidated by the idea of surfing.

4. Paddle Boarding

If you are not too keen on surfing, the calm shallow waters of Maldives are ideal for paddle boarding. This is the best way to spot shoals without getting wet. Maldives all inclusive resorts often include watersports. Make sure your package includes paddle boarding. You could also rent a paddle board from the resort on arrival.

5. Ariel Expedition

While in Maldives, do not miss out on the opportunity to experience the region from the sky. We recommend reserving your seats on a twin-engine sea plane to witness the views of a lifetime.
