Many would be surprised and amazed to know that the cluster of Maldivian islands in the heart of the Indian Ocean are modern remnants of ancient volcanoes. As the Earth evolved and the atmosphere progressed to support life, the volcanoes are believed to have sunken to the ocean leaving behind the coral reefs that surrounded them. These ancient reefs are, at present, known to the world as the beautiful islands of the Maldives.
When in the Republic of Maldives, tourists and holidaymakers will have an abundance of choice in terms of the manner in which they choose to relax and enjoy themselves. For the adventurous few, the resorts in Maldives offer a variety of water sports and other water activities. For instance, tourists can charter a dhonifor the day and explore the nearby islands or use a vedi for this purpose. Tourists who wish to reach their intended destinations quickly can opt for speedboats. Another option, parasailing, is greatly sought after by tourists and locals alike for not only is it exciting and exhilarating, it even provides tourists with the option of obtaining a rare yet iconic view of the Maldivian islands from a vantage point. Others can choose mesmerising underwater locations such as coral reefs to explore via diving or scuba diving.
A recent addition to Maldives’ dizzying array of water sports is flyboarding. Similar to water boarding, flyboarding adds a novel twist by propelling boarders high in the air. Introduced as something ‘new’ flyboarding is certainly novel to the Maldivian islands but has been very popular for several years in Abu Dhabi. Enjoy the experience of leaping out of water akin to a dolphin with this new water sport and to ensure that you have a firm reminder of the experience, ensure you have a family member or an employee of the Maldives hotel you are residing in enlisted to take as many photos as possible!
Though the sport is relatively new to island resorts, these resorts pride themselves on their ability to provide the best possible experience for their clients. If you love water sports consider staying at a Maldives luxury resort such as Naladhu, Maldives where you can have plenty of fun in the surf.
