Since the Maldive Islands consist of no less than 1,192 lovely small islands, many visitors choose to spend some of their time island hopping – exploring the many different islets which make up this premier tourist destination. The diverse beaches, sensational landscapes, serene waters and thriving vegetation of the different islands mean that no traveller will be less than delighted by the visual riches on offer. The visitor may choose to explore other resorts, pristine uninhabited islands or those islets occupied by the local villagers.
Often an island hopping expedition will take the form of a full day excursion to a secluded island, where participants can swim, snorkel, indulge in fun beach games or simply soak up the sunshine under the clearest of blue skies. Typically a delectable barbeque lunch will be provided at the island.
Couples on their honeymoon often choose to embark on a romantic tour of the secluded islands. Couples may take a cruise to a quiet beach where they can spend some intimate moments under the rays of the setting sun.
Active travellers may opt to undertake an adventure tour where they can indulge in island or jungle trekking. Visitors may explore the luxuriant forests at their own pace. They can also involve themselves in water sports like surfing and scuba diving at these secluded locations.
