Maldives Bucketlist

Now that The Maldives is more of an affordable destination, we take a look at the best things to do in the Maldives, courtesy of local tour operator, Secret Paradise.

Best Things To Do In The Maldives

The Maldives once just a dream destination for many, has with the development of guesthouses and local island tourism opened its door to backpackers and independent travellers.

But what is there to do if you are not just a sun worshipper? Probably more than you would expect!

Diving & Snorkelling in the Maldives

Diving in the Maldives is a unique experience not only for experienced divers but also for beginners. Once you have discovered the underwater world here, it will be difficult to find others of its kind. The water is azure blue, warm, and the varieties of dive and snorkel spots are stunning. Renowned for the abundance of big aquatic animals such as Whale Sharks and Manta Rays together with the diversity of corals, sharks and fish of all sizes the Maldives offers many underwater highlights.

Watersports

It is also a great destination for adventure seekers and watersport enthusiasts. Take to the water by kayak, SUP, Jet Ski or wake board. Whether you are in search of quiet lagoons or chasing the waves, watersports are a great way to hang out with the locals. No previous experience required as all the activities are offered with a coaching session.

Surfing in the Maldives

Numerous world class breaks can be found in North Male Atoll and the Central Atolls, mostly in the form of right-handers. The beauty of surfing these Maldives islands is that there are many spots within a short distance of each other and waves that accommodate every level. Swell size peaks from June to September but breaks can be found between April and October.

Cultural Experiences

Travel by public ferry, stay on a locally inhabited island, relax with a coffee in a local café all allow you to discover this tropical paradise through the eyes of a local. But if you really want to engage with the locals and learn more about their culture and tradition travel with a Secret Paradise guide who will open doors to experiences most travellers will not experience!
