The Maldives, a tropical paradise nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean, offers a playground for thrill-seekers, and Jumeirah Olhahali Island is your gateway to exhilarating escapades. Step onto this pristine isle and prepare to soar high above and explore the mesmerising depths below the crystal-clear waters.

Riding the Maldivian Waves

Your island adventure begins with an array of thrilling water sports that will get your heart racing around the island. Feel the wind in your hair as you soar above the ocean during an adrenaline-pumping parasailing ride. For those craving speed and excitement, jet-skiing and flyboarding are perfect choices. Alternatively, test your balance and agility with wakeboarding or the classic banana boat ride.

The excitement doesn't end there. If you are looking for a more relaxed activity, why not learn to sail a catamaran or explore the island's surroundings on a kayak or stand-up paddleboard? There's something for everyone, and each day offers new exploits. For a unique underwater experience without getting wet, the semi-submarine excursion is a must. You will descend below the sea's surface, gazing through large windows at the stunning marine life, including dolphins if you're lucky.

Explore Vibrant Underwater Worlds

The Maldives is renowned for its breathtaking underwater landscapes, and you will have the opportunity to explore them up close at Jumeirah Olhahali Island. Join one or all of our fantastic snorkelling trips aboard a traditional dhoni, a Maldivian fishing boat. These daily excursions will take you to various snorkelling spots where you can marvel at colourful reefs and swim alongside some of the ocean's most incredible creatures. Encounter graceful turtles, sleek reef sharks, majestic eagle rays, and on fortunate occasions, playful dolphins.

For a different perspective, consider a guided snorkelling tour of the house reef. And for a truly magical experience, don your snorkelling gear for a night excursion. As you swim under the stars with the aid of fluorescent lights, watch the reef come alive in a dazzling display of colour and activity. If you prefer a more private snorkelling experience, arrange a personal trip at your convenience. And don't forget to keep an eye out for the oceanic mantas, with wingspans of up to 7 metres, as well as the reef-dwelling species of mantas that reach up to 5 metres in width. These elegant creatures are a sight to behold.

Upon your return to the resort, have your fresh catch prepared by the chef any way you desire and share it with your friends and family.
