Making the Most of it – Entertaining Activities in the Maldives

Maldives is the place for sun, sea, sand, calm warm lagoons and a pristine over and under water environment. The best entertainment activities in the country are also generated from these very same features.

Diving and snorkeling on the house reef is the staple entertainment of any Maldivian holiday. For those wishing to explore further, diving safaris to view sharks and manta rays, dolphin spotting and whale watching safaris, night diving and island hopping offer unlimited entertainment options. Night fishing trips where the catch can be barbecued on a desert island are quite popular. It can be done any time of day from shore or from a boat. Fishing is another great activity.

Water sports are very much a part of the Maldivian holiday experience. Canoeing, windsurfing, surf boarding, catamaran sailing and kite surfing, banana boat rides, tube rides, water skiing, jet skiing and paragliding offer entertainment for every type of vacationer particularly under right weather conditions.

For those not lying on sun loungers, resort on shore entertainment such as beach volleyball, tennis, badminton, table tennis, cycling, aqua aerobics and water polo offer other ways to remain active and entertained.
