Top Things to Do in the Maldives
Holidays to Maldives offer something for all types of traveller – you can simply chose to relax on pristine beaches and soak up some vitamin D or go for a sunset stroll, and those feeling more adventurous can take up a series of water activities, from parasailing to scuba diving and snorkelling at colourful coral reefs.
Many of the Maldives resorts offer exciting sea life excursions like swimming with whale sharks, fishing, and dolphin spotting. These activities will of course work up an appetite, so make sure you tuck in to some local Maldivian cuisine; favourites include fish curries, shredded tuna, fried yams, and lobster.
Away from the paradise landscapes of the Maldives, there is a charming cultural side to the archipelago that is worth exploring. Head to Malé, the Maldivian capital for a sightseeing day trip and explore local villages to experience the city’s rich culture. Book a Maldives package and look forward to the paradise trip of a lifetime.
