When it comes to island vacation spots few can compare to the Maldives. Consisting of over one thousand islands scattered across the Laccadive Sea, the archipelago of Maldives has some of the greatest beaches in the world. That coupled with a highly developed tourism industry and plenty of friendly locals makes Maldives a terrific option for an island holiday. Most of the country’s cultural and historical attractions can be found in Male, Maldives’ capital city (which is the starting point for many tourists intent on learning more about the country), while good beaches can be found everywhere.
The island’s beaches are excellent places to try out various water sports. Activities such as scuba diving and surfing are quite popular in the country. Maldives has been blessed with many excellent surf spots. Some of the best are located in the Outer Atoll. Tourists who come here with the express desire to surf amazing waves should consider going on a surf safari to the Outer Atoll.
The Outer Atoll (also called the Southern Atoll, the Ghaafu Dhaalu Atoll and the Huvadhoo Atoll) is generally considered the best atoll for surfing. The best times to go surfing here are between March and April and again between September and November. Not only can one find plenty of waves here, different places offer different types of waves making the Outer Atoll suitable for both experienced and novice surfers.
There are many outfits that offer surf safaris so tourists can look around for the best option. A typical safari will include a boat ride to a surf spot as well as a surf guide who can help spot waves. One can then spend several exciting hours riding the waves before heading back.
