Surfing
A popular diving destination for years, Maldives has become a dream destination for surfers too. Surfing in the clear, warm waters of the Maldives is an experience very few would want to miss. A veritable source of enjoyment for novices and professional surfers alike, surfing in Maldives attracts surfers from all around the world.

Dreaming to catch fishes like Dolphin Fish, Little Tuna, Rainbow Runner, Trevally and Barracuda then just head out to the sea in the early morning hours, from dawn. Fishing at night is a major attraction for most tourists, as you get to catch various fish species like Groupers, Emperors, Jacks and Barracuda

Fishing in the Maldives is usually dependent on the weather. Generally, warm and sunny throughout the year, Maldives has 2 main seasons - the South West and the North East monsoons. Although bad weather is rare, the varying temperatures can affect the underwater currents leading to varying fish movements.

Angling
Angling or Sea Angling is for those wishing to spend a leisurely day or two on the sea with nothing but angling on their mind. Set off on a 'dhoni' for a two to three day trip, and sail to fresher pastures - unexploited remote coral reefs - where the fishes are relatively unaware of the modern and traditional baits used for fishing. Angling in the remote coral reefs provide anglers with a new experience everyday.

Angling can be done from the 'dhoni' itself and from its own speed boat or the 'dinghy'. Reef fishing, Trolling, Bottom Fishing and Flats fishing - anything and everything is possible. The 'dhonis' are fully furnished and air-conditioned to make your journey of discovery a truly memorable experience.

Reef Casting
Reef Casting is one of the most exciting types of fishing. Sail towards the coral reefs on a dinghy or a medium-sized motor Dhoni, early in the morning or in the afternoon. Head towards the coral reefs and get ready to tackle some of the strongest fighters of the reefs.

At the edge of the reef and directly above it, you are greeted with groupers like the 'purple colored luna-tailed rock grouper' & the 'black spotted panther grouper', Barracudas, Snappers, Bluefin Trevally Jack and the Giant Trevally Jack. A fully grown Giant Trevally Jack, which can reach a length of around 1.70 meters, is one of the strongest fighters of the reef.

Sometimes, these fishes take the bait and disappear into caves and coral shelves. During such times, do your best to stay steady. Hold on to anything stable and keep your rod high.

Sailing
Get sailing in the waters surrounding Maldives, which captivates you with its immense beauty. The waters are colored in different hues of blue, turquoise and green. The islands making up Maldives dot the ocean like scattered pearls. All in all, it is an experience not to be missed.
