Let's take a look at a few things to do in this wonderful paradise.
Diving
It's no wonder that the Maldives has earned a reputation as one of the most magical diving destinations in the world. The warm waters of the Maldives are home to incomparable underwater beauty. You can spot species such as parrot fish, butterfly fish, green turtles, colorful corals, and sharks. The best time to dive is from November to May when visibility is at its best. You can find well-equipped dive centers with experienced instructors who are committed to the safety of their clients.
Visit Male, the capital of the Maldives
Surely, you won't get tired of exploring the pristine nature of the Maldives, but you should definitely make a trip to Male, the capital of the Maldives. This city will give you an insight into the life of the locals. If you love history and are eager to learn more about this place, we recommend you visit the National Museum, which is located in Sultan's Park. Here you will find historical artifacts, including royal artifacts, stone objects, and antiquities from the Buddhist epic.
Snorkeling
When visiting the Maldives, you should experience one of the most popular activities - snorkeling. With around 2,500 reefs and crystal clear waters, this is a top destination for people who love snorkeling. You can observe numerous fish, natural attractions, and in late summer and autumn manta rays and whale sharks can be seen. However, be careful when doing this activity; don't snorkel alone, and unless you are a strong swimmer, wear a life jacket just to be safe.
A night on the glowing beach
On Motu Island, also known as Vaadhoo Island, there is a beach that glows at night. Glow in the dark is essentially a natural phenomenon called bioluminescence, in which a living organism produces or emits light. This experience is truly magical and not to be missed. Timing is very important, and you'll have the best chance between June and October.
