PARASAILING

Get a bird’s eye view of the Maldives – from the air you can appreciate all the different hues of turquoise in the ocean, the emerald green tropical interior of the islands and the white sandy beaches. On this ride, you will be safely strapped into a parachute connected by a rope to the back of the speedboat. As the boat accelerates, you feel the gentle breeze as you glide up into the air. Despite the high-speed movement of the boat, you only feel serenity while you enjoy the breathtaking view below. Try it alone or together with a partner whatever you choose it is going to be a memorable experience.

KNEEBOARDING

Not keen on standing? Perhaps you should give kneeboarding a try! This water sport blends the characteristics of water-skiing, wakeboarding and surfing. You’ll be pulled along the surface of the water on a convex board. You kneel on the board and sit on your heels whilst your thighs are securely strapped over the velcro. The boards used are wide, giving them more stability to lessen the fall-off scenario. Kneeboarding is a fun and easy way to begin your watersports adventure; it only takes a little practice to master the skills, and you’ll be zigzagging across the wake in no time.
