Snorkelling
The easiest way to see the Maldivian underwater world: put on a mask and snorkel and you're already among butterflyfish — on many islands you can spot reef sharks or turtles just a few metres from shore, no boat needed.
The Maldives is far more than an overwater villa and a sun lounger. Here's a short guide to what you can do here, whether you choose a resort or a local island.

From a first dive with an instructor (DSD) with no certification, to serious dives on remote atolls — the Maldives is considered one of the best diving destinations in the world. Tiger shark diving in Fuvahmulah deserves a mention of its own — more on that under Activity Tours.
The classic: a lounger in the shade of a palm tree and a lagoon in just the right shade of turquoise. We help match both resorts and local islands, depending on your budget and what you want around you.
Jet skiing, wakeboarding, parasailing, banana boats, kayaks and paddleboards — almost every island offers one of these for an hour or two, to add some adrenaline to an otherwise relaxed stay.
The Maldives isn't only about calm water: in season there are consistent breaks at spots like Thulusdhoo and Gadhdhoo. More on that under Activity Tours.
Night fishing with local guides on traditional dhoni boats is a memorable experience — sometimes followed by dinner made from the catch that same evening.
Landing on an uninhabited sandbank in the middle of the ocean, or a sunset cruise with a chance of spotting dolphins — the kind of thing you'll remember longer than any hotel.
