Activities
There are some resorts that offer only non-motorised watersports so as not to disturb the peace of other guests. However, many of the resorts offer you the chance of testing your skills to the limits, at water-skiing, jet skiing, parasailing, body surfing, knee boarding and fun with banana and ringo rides. And then there are romantic sunset sails or adventurous excursions and island hopping in catamarans or small 'dhonis'.
Windsurfing
The large lagoons that surround most of the islands are ideal for windsurfing. Large lagoons with waist-deep water for hundreds of metres with soft sandy bottoms and the protective barrier provided by the reef, offer ideal and safe conditions for windsurfing, especially for beginners. Almost all resorts have windsurf schools or watersports centres where you can get instructions and lessons and even get an international certificate. Some schools are equipped with a variety of boards and sails to suit different levels of windsurfing. All windsurf schools and watersports centres have, without exception, the basic equipment for windsurfing, and in most cases one or more catamarans and a few canoes.
