Going in Search of Dolphins
Ever wanted to cruise across crystal-clear ocean waters in search of playful marine mammals? Well, this dream can be your reality! The best Maldives resorts for families offer dolphin-watching cruises, perfect for creating magical memories with loved ones. Keep your eyes peeled to spot one of the many species such as the spinner, bottlenose or striped dolphin swimming and sometimes leaping out of the water.
Catching the Perfect Waves
Here’s a secret not many know – the Maldives boasts some of the world’s best surfing spots! Forget surfing crowded waters because you can stay at private island resorts like Adaaran Select Hudhuran Fushi that offer direct access to legendary left-hand surf breaks such as Lohis. These properties also provide convenient access to other surfing hotspots so that you can chase the perfect wave from dawn to dusk.
Underwater Escapades
No adventure here is complete without snorkelling or diving and ideally, you should experience both! Consider staying at resorts in the North Male Atoll that offer these activities and prepare to be mesmerised by vibrant coral reefs teeming with life. There are also unforgettable dives at sites like HP Reef and Manta Point, while wrecks such as the Maldives Victory, provide a thrilling glimpse into the ocean’s depths.
Other Exciting Activities
Resorts in Maldives cater to every kind of thrill-seeker. Zoom across the waves on a jet ski expedition to a secluded sandbank. Feeling like a superhero? Try flyboarding and soar above the water! Channel your inner dolphin with a Seabob underwater scooter. There are also exhilarating fun tube rides, wakeboarding, and kitesurfing as well as big game fishing. To truly cap it all off, take a private sunset flight for an unforgettable aerial view of paradise bathed in golden light.
