Things to do in Maldives

Here are the things to do in our Maldives Tour Packages From Kerala:

Water adventure in Maldives

Maldives is popularly known for its seductive water sports and underwater adventures. 

In Maldives, you will discover exciting activities that involve deep diving and peeking into the cooling marine life. When you indulge in such underwater adventures of Maldives, you will be mesmerised by the coral reefs within the ocean. The coral reef is an underwater habitat that provides shelter and habitat for various aquatic organisms such as fishes, vertebrates, & beyond. The water in the ocean is crystal-clear, making the underwater experience more hearty. 

Some popular underwater sports in the Maldives include snorkelling, scuba diving, submarine tours, and much more. 

Snorkelling enables you to float on the ocean’s surface with a snorkel mask and fins to adore the underwater sights, especially the coral reef. 

Scuba diving entitles you to dive deep into the sea and explore the vivid marine life. All tourists who are certified in scuba diving can enjoy it.

The submarine tour lets you wander through the enchanting underwater universe without getting wet in water. Other thrilling water sports in the Maldives are Kayaking, Windsurfing,  Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Jet Skiing, Parasailing, Flyboarding, Catamaran Sailing, Fishing, Submarine Tours, Whale Shark and Dolphin Watching, Night Snorkeling, Underwater Scooter Rides, Kite Surfing, and Underwater Photography.

After immersing in these water sports, you can also go for a spa treatment in the Maldives to loosen up your body & muscles.

Island excursion in the Maldives

Island excursion is one of the famous activities in Maldives. Maldives is the togetherness of thousands of gorgeous coral islands gathered to 26 atolls. An atoll is a coral reef or island with a ring shape. It surrounds a lagoon partially or fully. Each island is unique. Some are still & calm, while others are busy with local or cultural lives.

During an island excursion, travellers explore an island or a group of islands, where they can walk through pristine beaches and local markets, & even stop in mosques. While on your island exploration, you can dip & swim in water & bathe in the sun. You can watch traditional performances & taste the local food. You will also see wildlife like dolphins and turtles in their habitat. 

Sunset Cruise in Maldives

A sunset cruise is another enthralling activity of the Maldives. The sunset cruise or voyage is on a conventional Maldivian cruise ship floating above the ocean. During the sunset, the sky will display varied colours such as purple, pink, and orange. The reflection of different colours on the calm waters brings more beauty. By watching the sunset, you can have drinks and meals. Meanwhile, the boat will travel between other islands.

Shopping in Maldives.

Maldives’ Shopping is incredibly glorious and vivid. With our Maldives Tour Packages From Kerala, you can shop local handicrafts made by the locals, stunning jewellery with pearls, local spices, dried fish, tuna flakes, fashionable clothes, and arts and paintings. 

Fishing is an everyday activity in the Maldives so you can buy freshly caught fish there.

Since Maldives exhibits the touch of nature everywhere on its islands, you can take home a lot of arts and crafts made with natural substances.

Handicrafts and jewellery are the most priceless shopping components in the Maldives. You can find woven mats, wood carvings, lacquerware by talented artists, and a vast collection of jewellery mainly made with pearls taken from marine organisms. 

Food in Maldives.

The cuisine of the Maldives is a combination of the dishes of its neighbours, namely Sri Lanka and India. Fish is the main staple dish in the Maldives because most of the country is ocean. Coconut is a vital part of Maldivian cuisine. Locals use it in food in the form of milk, oil, and flakes. The Dhivehi Cuisine, which offers an extensive range of flavours, is the name for the traditional Maldivian cuisine. In the Maldives, people cook food using practices handed down through the generations and have a gentle spice and a subtle sweetness. There are many different cuisine choices for tourists, including vegetarians, as the Maldives is a popular tourist destination with hotels all over the island.

Popular dishes in Maldives are Garudhiya (Fish Soup), Maldivian Live Lobster, Mas Huni (Shredded Smoked Tuna), Masroshi(Tuna Stuffed Chapati), Bis Keemiya (Samosa), Boshi Mashuni (Banana Flower Salad), Fried Yams, Saagu Bondibai (Sago Pudding),  Gulha (Dumpling), Kulhi Boakibaa (Fish Cake), Aluvi Boakibaa (Cassava Coconut Cake), Fish curry, Rihaakuru (Fish Paste), Maldivian Vegetable Curry, Sai (Tea), Maldivian Lady, Biyadhoo Special, Lucky & Al, Gulab Jamun, Reef Fish Cutlets etc.

Best Time to visit the Maldives

It depends on your choice of when you should go to the Maldives. If you’re looking for a sunny sky and a lively atmosphere, the dry season, which lasts from November to April, is excellent.

The wet season, which is from May to October, however, has its unique charm if you enjoy travel that is affordable, lush green and free of crowds.

Ultimately, the Maldives Tour Packages From Kerala offers a tropical paradise anytime you choose and welcomes guests all year round.

Important notes

• Entry into the Maldives is not guaranteed by having a comprehensive travel plan (confirmed tickets for the return trip, prepaid verified hotel reservations at registered hotels, or the ability to show proof of financial resources for enough money to cover the stay in the Maldives). As per Sections 7 and 8 of The Maldives Immigration Act 2007, you will get access at the port of entry following the decision of admissibility by immigration officers.
• Vacation Schedule: Examine the schedule that SoToGo has provided for you, details on travel arrangements, accommodation, pick-up and drop-off times, and any activities or tours to be aware of everything
• A valid passport and visa are required to access the Maldives; this period must be at least six months long. Upon arrival, Indians will get a 30-day pass.
• Consider getting comprehensive travel insurance that covers unexpected events like medical emergencies and trip cancellations.
• Immunisations and Health Precautions: Before travelling to the Maldives, determine if any immunisations or health precautions are advised or required. Consult a medical expert to assess it.
• Know your flights’ permitted amounts of luggage before you travel. Be mindful of the Maldives’ baggage restrictions and weight limitations.
• Before travelling from India or arriving in the Maldives, exchange some foreign currency (Maldivian Rufiyaa). Cash is a good option for smaller purchases, even though people widely use credit cards.
• Because it is a Muslim nation, dress modestly outside resort areas and follow proper manners and local business ethics.
• Carry a list of urgent contacts, such as the telephone numbers of SoToGo, the closest embassy or consulate of India, and the Maldives’ local emergency services.
• Complete any necessary arrival and departure documents carefully and keep them close to hand for immigration and customs.
• Local Excursions: Verify the specifics and timings with your SoToGo. Make sure you are familiar with the pickup hours and places.
• For effective communication on your trip, get a regional SIM card or an international roaming package for your smartphone.
• Travel documents, such as your passport, visa, travel insurance policy, and itinerary, should be stored physically and digitally. Share copies of these with a family member or trusted acquaintance, and keep them securely.
• Keeping local traditions and laws & respecting the locals will ensure a friendly and enjoyable visit.
• If you intend to bring in things like alcohol and tobacco, you should familiarise yourself with the allowances and limitations of tax-free purchases. Customs fees may apply if tax-free restrictions are high.

• Travelers should fill out entry and exit cards when they arrive in the Maldives. Usually, these cards ask for details regarding lodging arrangements, travel schedules, and health. Since you may need these cards to leave the nation, completing them and maintaining them until then is crucial.
• Travellers should prepare to declare any restricted or dutiable products they bring into the Maldives in their luggage. Typically, this disclosure becomes active on a customs declaration form issued at the airport or on the plane. It’s crucial to follow customs procedures to avoid trouble with the law.
