Explore Maldives<br />

The azure blue waters that surround the Maldives are a home to hive of activity that<br />

any type of traveller would just love. Whether you want to snorkel, island hop,<br />

fishing or water sports and just enjoying some luxury – there is something for everyone<br />

here.<br />

The relaxing surroundings of the Maldives<br />

mean one of the must things to do here is<br />

enjoy a luxurious spa treatment. You can<br />

have classic, package treatments at your<br />

local resort or some <strong>com</strong>panies are even<br />

doing things a bit differently nowadays<br />

with underwater spa treatments, yes<br />

that’s right – underwater! It’s the ultimate<br />

relaxation experience, receiving a treatment<br />

surrounded by glass walls that are staring<br />

out into the beautiful turquoise ocean while<br />

its marine life dance around you<br />

There are lots of chartered diving <strong>com</strong>panies<br />

that will take you on some unbelievable<br />

diving trips. Most <strong>com</strong>panies provide you<br />

with fins, snorkel and mask for the house<br />

reef snorkelling and snorkelling excursions.<br />

There are a few standard excursions offered<br />

by every resort. Snorkelling trips take guests<br />

to their house reef, if it is inaccessible from<br />

the island, and to other reefs nearby. This<br />

can take place once or twice a day and can<br />

be to great reefs, never to dull ones. As a<br />

general rule, it is much better if the dive<br />

school rather than the management runs<br />

these. Hanifaru bay is the largest ‘feeding<br />

station’ in the world, the area is abundant in<br />

marine life due to large amounts of plankton<br />

that washes in which attracts the big draw<br />

cards, such as beloved Manta Rays.<br />
