1. Snorkelling
The warm, inviting waters of Maldives have been gifted with fantastic coral reefs and an array of marine life.

Enjoy swimming around aquatic fauna like Hawksbill turtles, eagle rays, reef sharks, whale sharks, octopus, and schools of clown triggerfish, bannerfish, etc.
2. Water Skiing
If you intend to try water sports for the first time, we recommend water skiing since it’s one of the most accessible and fun water sports in the Maldives. You will be strapped safely behind a boat that will pull you on an enjoyable ride in the calm ocean water. Water skiing is a safe sport, and the coast constantly has a lot of lifeguards; you can try water skiing without worrying about safety hazards. When you book Maldives tour packages from GT Holidays, our agents will suggest avoiding the months from June through September since the rainy weather, high winds and choppy ocean currents make it unsuitable for Water Skiing.
3. Scuba Diving
Are you interested in underwater life? If you wish to learn more about the numerous aquatic creatures that are part of the Indian Ocean, then Scuba diving is the outdoor adventure in the Maldives you are looking for. You will get a great insight into the life beneath the ocean and witness almost 700 different species of fish and aquatic fauna amidst nearly 70 varieties of colourful coral reefs. The warm ocean water temperature will make your diving experience feel very comfortable. We can book your visit from June to October and December to March so that you get the best experience.
4. Parasailing
When in Maldives, you will have water sports on your mind, and parasailing is one of the exciting experiences you must try through our Maldives travel packages. You will get assistance in wearing an open parachute and later towed down with the help of a motorboat to fly through the air at an amazing speed. Find yourself gliding in the air as the wind caresses your face. Get an amazing aerial view of the ocean waters beneath you throughout the thrilling ride.
5. Kitesurfing
A recent and popular sport that is one of the most popular outdoor activities in the Maldives to catch your attention on the shores of Maldives could be Kitesurfing. You will be balancing yourself on a longboard above the water while holding onto a triangular sail that paces the constant winds and guides you in its direction. As a first-timer, we recommend you try Kitesurfing from June until October since the weather conditions are perfect for the sport.

Our agents can book a dolphin-watching excursion in advance as an outdoor adventure in the Maldives, during which you will head to the seas by boat and explore the magnificent creatures swimming on the water’s surface. You can spot several schools of dolphins swimming along with the boat, proudly displaying their best backflip skills.
