The Maldives has some of the most stunning beaches in the world. Being such a popular tourist destination it's not surprising that they'd have lots of water sports there too.
Walk on top of waves, well kind of surf over them at least – it's fun. Hold on tight to a rope and skim along the waves on your board as you get pulled along by a speedboat; it's a thrill.
This is quite a recent sport; it uses a fly board which is connected by a hose to a jet ski which then pumps streams of high-pressure water which allows it to carry you into the air.
This immensely fun activity involves using an inflatable tube with no external power source to glide over the water at really high-speeds. This is a definite must-try.
Undoubtedly one of the most amazing water-sports parasailing requires no special introduction. It's a great way to let go and just enjoy a birds-eye view of the serene beauty of the islands of the Maldives.
This takes surfing to the next level while giving you the opportunity to really enjoy the ride as well. To have the best windsurfing experience its best to find resorts that are famous for it and offer better facilities like Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon. However, you can expect the best Maldives resorts to offer windsurfing facilities to some degree at least.
A truly satisfying experience; Catamaran sailing may not give you an adrenaline rush, it will definitely give you butterflies as you fall in love with the natural beauty of this island paradise.
Paddle through the shallow waters around the islands and discover each for yourself, up close and personal.
The reefs around the Maldives are breathtaking; abundant with life and just bursting with colour. There is a whole new world under the waves waiting to be discovered.
The perfect choice for the thrill-seeker; kitesurfing will truly get your heart thumping. The strong winds that blow across the Indian Ocean propel you along the water at high-speeds, it'll take a bit of getting used to but it is really worth a try.
Catch a glimpse of the world beneath the waves on a calm and quiet ride on a glass-bottom dingy.
One of the most popular things to do on a beach holiday; Jet Ski and obviously every resort in the Maldives will have a few.
Many people who visit the Maldives do so with the hope of Scuba Diving. The ocean around the Islands has some of the best diving spots in the world and you can expect all the resorts to have facilities and instructors.
Underwater walking takes feeling at one with the ocean to an all-new height. Walk on the ocean floor with the use of a special diving helmet and experience the reef in a way you could never imagine. It is truly mind-blowing experience.
A true believer that the pen is a mighty weapon, ventures into reaching the minds of every reader with the earnest hope of leaving an indelible stream of thought.
