Are you planning a soft adventure getaway in Maldives? Maldives is the jewel of the Indian Ocean and a great place for your next bucket list vacation.

The Maldives is an archipelago state, nestled near to the southwest part of Sri Lanka and India. The country boasts 1192 beautiful coral islands in the Indian Ocean, whereas only 188 welcomes tourists all year long for island hopping and seaside experiences.

The Maldives is known around the world for its famed religious sites, historic landmarks such as Tsunami Monument, and famous cultural events. And if we talk about adventurous activities, Scuba diving, jet skiing, dolphin spotting, sharking feeding and more exciting activities are available for your Maldives trip.

Best Time To Visit In The Maldives Overall

Maldives boasts consistently warm weather throughout the year, making it an ideal destination for any time of visit. However, like most tropical countries, Maldives experiences two distinct seasons: the dry and wet seasons.

  • Dry season - From November to March, it is the most popular time to visit due to its balmy weather and minimal rainfall. It is the best time for water sports enthusiasts.
  • Wet Season – From May to November, it is considered the most affordable season. However, it's important to be prepared for frequent thunderstorms and occasional downpours during this time.

So, here are some exciting facts that will inspire you to call Allen Batista Travel, Inc. to plan your Maldives vacation:

  • Did you know that Maldives is the world's lowest-lying country? Maldives with just 1.5 meters (or approximately 4.9 feet) of ground level above sea.
  • It boasts more than double the number of fish species per coral reef than any other place on Earth.
  • It has the only shark-free beach in the world.

So, let’s start exploring things to do in the Maldives, ensuring that your journey is not just a vacation but a captivating adventure.

1. Snorkeling At A Reef At Night
Let’s dive into a unique nocturnal adventure by snorkeling at a reef at night. This enchanting experience can be best experienced in Kuredu Island, North Male Atoll, South Male Atoll, Haa Alif Atoll and Baa Atoll with experienced guidance. 

You can witness the underwater world transform with bioluminescent wonders as some of the seashores have bioluminescent plankton. And they emit a blue light when they are disturbed, creating a stunning underwater light show. You can also spot predators such as sharks, rays, and many others at night from a safe and secure distance in guided tours.

Best Time - The dry season (December to April) is a good time to travel for clear visibility and calm waters.

2. Night Fishing And Trolling
For an authentic Maldivian experience, travelers should try night fishing and trolling in the Maldives. Cast your fishing line under the starlit sky and partake in the local tradition of night fishing. 

There are several popular spots for night fishing and trolling in the Maldives such as Dhigurah Island, Rasdhoo Island, Veligandu Island, Kuda Huraa Island, and many more. Each place has its own unique charm, for instance, there is a good chance of catching marlin, tuna, and wahoo in Veligandu Island and squirrelfish in Kuda.

3. Sand Banks Activities 
Sand Banks are small and isolated islands that are exposed only during low tides and submerged at high tide. The islands are often located in the middle of a lagoon or atoll, and they offer a unique and secluded beach experience. Our travel package offers a unique Sand Bank trip that includes private and romantic lunch and dinner arrangements, swimming, and sunset watching with customized activities. The guide will take you there by boat for a day of sun-soaked relaxation and beachcombing.

4. Island Hopping - Mahibandhoo and Kunburudhoo
Don’t miss a fascinating island-hopping adventure when staying at Turtle Maldives. Among the tourists, Mahibandhoo and Kunburudhoo island hopping is in full swing. So, if you want to experience local Maldivian life, explore cultural nuances, and enjoy the serene beauty of these lesser-known islands, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to grab.

Mahibadhoo and Kunburudhoo are small and beautiful islands in the South Ari Atoll. They are known for their crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and diverse marine life such as turtles, manta rays, and sharks. Visit the traditional Maldivian villages on these islands and explore a new arena.

5. Turtle Point Snorkeling 
Turtle watching is very popular in the Maldives and the South Ari Atoll is the most popular spot for this activity. In fact, the Maldives is home to five of the seven species of sea turtles found in the world, out of which two types - green turtles and hawksbill turtles can be found at the South Ari Atoll.

Turtle Point, a renowned snorkeling spot for swimming with turtles in the South Ari Atoll. Our travel package brings you the most affordable and ecstatic turtle spotting tours in the famous snorkeling areas in the Maldives. You can easily see turtles grazing on seagrass, swimming gracefully through the water, or even taking a break on the sandbar.

6. Manta Snorkeling
Manta Ray and Whale Shark snorkeling are incredibly popular activities among tourists in the Maldives, particularly in the South Ari Atoll. These gentle giants, with their graceful movements, attract snorkelers and divers from around the world.

With a guided tour, travelers can swim with them, observe their feeding behaviors, and learn about their anatomy and conservation centers. The South Ari Atoll's sheltered waters and ample plankton supply make it an ideal habitat for these water giants. 

Travelers will experience the gatherings of manta rays and whale sharks, gliding gracefully through the water and feeding on plankton by filter-feeding. 

8. Dolphin Watching 
The Maldives is home to over 20 species of dolphins, including spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and rough-toothed dolphins. Their playful and often spotted acrobatic behavior attracts marine life enthusiasts from all over the world. Among many other places such as Hanifaru Bay, Rasdhoo Island, and South Ari Atoll is by far the most popular place to go for dolphin watching in the Maldives. This atoll is home to a large population of spinner dolphins, which are known for their spins and jumps.

9. Shipwreck Diving 
Have you ever wanted to explore a shipwreck or maybe dive through the cabins and hallways of a wrecked ship underwater?

Well, now you can complete your dream of Shipwreck Diving in the Maldives. Here are some amazing underwater shipwrecks that guarantee an amazing diving trip:

  • Kuda Giri Wreck in South Male Atoll
  • Machchafushi Wreck, Kudhi Maa in South Ari Atoll
