The little island country is now open to tourists and there’s no reason why you should wait to go there with your near and dear ones. Explore the Maldives like never before. Read on!
Although there isn’t quite anything like an off-season in the Maldives, however starting from May to early November there is a heavy downpour in that region. Ideally, if you are planning to just get out of the chaos of your everyday busy, urban life, and rather breathe some nature in seclusion, Maldives might be the right place for that. Forget booming crowds and honking of vehicles and indulge in the absolute beauty of the Maldivian islands.
Now, let us see some of the best things that you can try out in the Maldives:
Things that you can try out in the Maldives
1 Visiting the Glowing beach, Vadhoo island
You cannot forget to visit the Glowing Beach on Vaadhoo Island. Seeming to be as unrealistic as the idea of it, the glowing effect noticeable after dusk, is created by bioluminescent planktons present in warm beach waters. If you are here, with your romantic partner, you got to cherish the fairy-tale-like scenery and take a walk along the white-sand beach and finally end the day with a candlelit dinner!
2 Scuba diving at Maafushi
The Maldives is famous for offering you thrilling yet fun scuba diving experiences. Scuba diving is one of the best things to do here to take a journey along with the incredible aquatic world that lies underwater.
3 Underwater snorkeling in Hanifaru Bay
If you are not very enthusiastic about deep-sea diving, you can try out underwater snorkeling as the Maldives provides the facility for the same. You will surely come across sea turtles, colorful fish flocks, and reef sharks. You can also visit the feeding stations and watch a few sea turtles munching on their lunches if you are lucky!
4 Dolphin watching
The dolphin excursion is hands down the best experience, according to some of the Maldivian locals. Setting out in search of pods of dolphins is very fun and it doesn’t take a lot of time to spot them if you are at it with some time in hand before sunset. Often unlike other wild dolphins, the dolphins in the Maldives are some of the most playful creatures, flipping and turning – putting out a great show for the tourists.
5 Surfing experience in the Maldives
If you are looking for a world-class surfing destination, it has to be the Maldives. The country attracts top surfers from over the world who break free once they hit the sea. However, if surfing is not your cup of tea being amateurly skilled, you can of course enjoy your morning cup of coffee while watching the pros brave the waves!
6 Paddleboarding
Paddleboarding can be an alternative option if you are not comfortable with surfing. Stand up paddleboarding is also exciting since the water is calm and shallow along the safe bays where you can paddle along comfortably and also spot colorful fish right below your board.
7 Island hopping
Many locals live and work in these tiny islands. However, if you are putting up on a private island, do not forget to book an excursion to the nearby local islands and communities to get a hint of their culture and practices.
8 Meeting the locals
The market area at Naalaafushee, a fishing village is a very nice place to take a walk. Interestingly, it is an extremely small island but a lot of things going on there. There are a proper downtown and a square with schools, banks, and community centers. The locals keep regular contact with their friends and family through the help of their speedboats, which they use as we use cars or motorcycles.
9 Scenic flight over the Maldives
The actual turquoise color of the sea will be best enjoyed by the bird’s eye view. The different shades of the color will be visible once you are flying over the Maldives. Some many resorts and hotels require you to fly over in a floatplane but if you do not have the good fortune of that, do book a scenic flight and you wouldn’t be unhappy! The isolated and beautiful islands creating a pattern in the sea, and at times, the shallow water – all of these are a sight to behold. These activities constitute just a part of the varied experiences that you can indulge in while you’re in Maldives. With House of Travellers, you need not worry about anything at all.

10 Treat yourself to the Spa

The Maldives is extremely couple-friendly and a couple’s massage is highly recommended for upping the romance factor!
