Due to the many water bodies of the Maldives, Kayaking is one of the more common aqua sports in the islands and therefore is quite popular. Many Kayaking Centres along the beaches readily rent out boats and oars to people who are interested in going for a relaxing paddle along the warm waters of the ocean or through the shallow waters of a hidden lagoon surrounded by lush greenery and coconut trees.
The months of February-March are considered some of the best months to go for a gentle paddle, as waters around the islands are calmer during this time of the year. Many tourists and travellers consider Kayaking one of the best ways to witness the splendour and natural beauty of Maldives, as it makes one appreciate the clear blue waters, beautiful scenery and delicate marine eco-system.
One can enjoy the serenity of these paradise islands with their partner or friend on a double tandem boat to make the experience more memorable and special. Another interesting aspect of kayaking on the waters around the paradise islands is the fact that it offers the opportunity to witness the beauty of underwater life. Boat Renters offer Glass Bottom boats for this purpose, which gives the paddlers an amazing view of the colourful coral reefs and shoals of fish in the clear waters. The cheaper Peek-a-Boo boats, which have just a glass panel instead of a Glass Bottom, also offer this experience, though not on the same scale.
An excellent way to start the day at Maldives would be to shove off into the water for a serene outing on a kayak which is both soothing and an efficient form of exercise. Kayaking is something that all who visits the Maldives must engage in, as it is an adventurous and relaxing experience through which the tranquillity of the island can be witnessed.
