20 THINGS TO DO IN MALDIVES

1. Ride the Unusual Taxi

If you’re thinking that it’s going to be a boring trip, then the grand taxi brought it to the next level of fun as you do it on public ferries! How is it fun? Taxis are ferries, and you’ll get to watch the beautiful crystal clear beaches, as you travel from one destination to another.

2. Sleep and dive

With the small number of habitable islands in the Maldives, they had the fantastic idea of building rooms or villas over the water. So, if you’re checked-in to one of these, stay at your place and once you’re ready to swim, open your door and be prepared to give a dive.

3. Get Some Fish

Dinner or even a lunch would be perfect if you’ll get to buy some fresh fish, lest to say, giant tuna! Who would not love that? Just be ready to come early in the selling area so that you’ll get to choose the freshest tuna available.

4. Do Some Surfing

Dance with the waves as you go over the Male’s Atolls. Be one of the surfers during the peak season which is May to October and be prepared to enjoy such fun and exciting water activity.

5. Dine underwater

Welcome to the world’s first-ever underwater restaurant. The five meters under the sea hub would allow you to eat while admiring the view of swimming fish. Plus, get to taste amazing food coming from a menu filled with fish as their specialty.

6. Visit the Island Fare

The New-Zealand born chef, Shane Avan would do the unique cooking for you since he will cook and serve fresh fish coming from the boat! Plus, the menu which you could choose from varies from Maldives-Mediterranean and Asian taste.

7. Shark Park

This may sound a little scary, but I should say that this is not fun and exciting. You may try some night diving and other water adventures. But if you’re more of the calmer activity with these sharks, you may go to the overwater spa with a view of a lagoon with the baby sharks in it since it serves as a nursery.

15. Diving Escapade

This has been a favorite spot of divers not only because of the clearness of the water but also for the reason that the marine resources are so precious. With the caves, channels, reefs, wrecks, and the like, most of the vacationers here would not miss this activity.

16. Fishing through Line

Well, if you’re up to some fishing, but you would like to do it through net fishing, then the Maldives will not allow you to do so since it is illegal because it brings harmful effects not only to the fish but the entire marine creatures as well, thus, the solution for that is to catch fishes through poles and lines! It may take some time, but it would be worth it.

17. Watching of Dolphins

Dolphins here roam around the bodies of water just like vacationers wander around the entire place. So, if you want to have a glimpse of them having fun spinning through the air, you’ve got to sit, relax, and spot some doing the stunts.

18. Pallets of Style File

The overall vibes of the restaurants, hotels, rooms, and all the other sorts of places that you may visit would bring you the vibe that you’re really into a big beach or resort destination. Be prepared to fill your IG with pastel colors and different rusty style pallets.

19. Learn the Basic Words

You may find it challenging to read signage and talk to people since their language is, of course, different from yours. So, try to remember the word “fushi” if you are referring to an island, and the word “Hingadhaan” if you would like to say the phrase “let’s go!”

20. Earth-shaking Spa

Spa to the next level is what you’re dreaming of. Then you’ve got the perfect place for you. As you go to one of the spas here in the Maldives, be assured that the views they offer will leave you in awe. For instance, they have underwater spas as well as shark-viewing spas. How could that be?
