The Maldives is a popular tourist destination and attracts tourists from across the world to enjoy its underwater marine life. Water based activities like scuba diving, snorkelling, fishing, parasailing, windsurfing and cruising are popular activities.
Parasailing enables one to explore the scenery of the far flung islands of the country. Scuba diving and snorkelling is popular with adventure enthusiasts wishing to explore the diverse marine life.
Snorkel safaris can provide one with an opportunity to witness turtles, sharks and manta rays in their natural habitat. Lagoons around the island are famous for windsurfing. Night fishing and big game fishing can be enjoyed at places like outer atoll reefs.
Those interested in the history of the country can visit places like Sultan Park, National Museum, Hukuru Miski and National Museum in Male.
Cruises from the Hulhule Islands to the Utheem Island are popular with honeymooners. These cruises provide one an opportunity to view the sunset, dolphins and whales. Island hopping to visit the fishing villages and an uninhabited island is a popular excursion in the country.
Shopping in the numerous shops and handicraft stalls in Malé is also popular with tourists to purchase traditional Maldivian souvenirs. The country is also famous for its nightlife and has many discos, bars and pubs. These are prominently located in Malé.
Maldivian delicacies are generally prepared with fish and other seafood. Vegetables are mainly used as fillings. Fish, generally tuna is served with onions, chillies, lemon juice, coconut and rice.
Delicacies like Mashuni, Raihaakuru Huni, Cole Slaw and Barabo (Pumpkin) Mashuni are popular. Popular dining options in Maldives include Aïoli (Malé), Raanbaa (Malé), Saffron Café & Kitchen (Malé) and Sea House (Malé), among others.
