If you plan on spending most of your vacation days at the beach or on the ocean waters in the Maldives you’re guaranteed to have plenty of adventures. Here are some of the best water adventures you can try from thrilling speed rides to gentle explorations below the surface.
Parasailing
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to soar above the ocean waters, this water sport is for you. Being strapped to a parachute and tugged along via a motorboat is as close as it gets to flying and you’ll be treated to great views of the waters and the horizon.

Diving
This is one of the best water adventures to have and you’ll likely find it available at your Maldives beach villa. Diving or scuba diving is the best way to explore the vibrant underwater ecosystems and marine animals of the Maldives, which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Jet Skiing
If you prefer a more adrenaline-filled experience on the water, jet skiing is a great option. As you speed across the ocean waters on a jet ski you’ll finally know what it’s like to run on water or get as close as you can to the experience.
Kayaking
To enjoy a quiet exploration on the water, climb aboard a kayak and use it to gently glide across the water while giving your body a gentle workout. If you’re staying at a hotel like Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort, you’ll be equipped with glass-bottomed kayaks to help you explore the lagoon waters beneath you.
