How to Explore Fabulous Islands During Maldives Holidays

by Amanda Sutcliffe Travel Deals

Maldives is made up of over 1,000 islands that have been grouped into a chain of 26 atolls, the ring-shaped coral reefs that encircle a lagoon either completely or partially. Every island supports the growth of some form of vegetation, be it the lush green mangroves or coconut palms. This is the reason why some of the islands have a considerable number of locals engaged in agricultural activities. In the past, before the use of mechanised equipment, the locals sailed between the islands for trade and other activities with the help of monsoon winds. Today, island hopping has been made easier with the help of motorboats and air transportation.

Some of the Maldives packages for couple give newly-weds and romantic couples the opportunity to go island-hopping. By travelling to different islands in the country, they discover more about the Maldivian way of life. In recent times, this activity has gained popularity ever since the inhabited islands were made accessible for tourists. Today, ferry boats frequently ply between the capital city of Male and these islands. However, travelling in these boats require much patience as one has to wait for them to arrive and then they have to travel from one island to the other.

Usually, the guesthouse owners or staff of resorts or hotels would provide all the necessary information on how to travel between the country's islands. The ones that are far from the capital city can be reached easily with the help of domestic flights. From the airport, the tourists can take a ferry to reach the desired island during their cheap Maldives holidays. Scheduled flights and the presence of 10 domestic airports have made travelling within the country fast and comfortable for tourists. During their stay in a guesthouse, hotel, or resort, they can arrange short trips by boat to explore the neighbouring islands.

During their Maldives holidays, tourists often use Malé International Airport as the hub for getting to the resort where their accommodations are arranged. In order to guarantee pick-ups in a boat, they have to make their room reservations well in advance. Many of the resorts offer guided tours for their guests, which give tourists the required convenience in getting to other islands. Such tours include escorted walks on the streets, dining experience in a local cafe, and shopping opportunities for buying attractive souvenirs.

There are some tours, which take tourists to an uninhabited island. During such tours, they can get the chance to swim in the shallow waters near the white-sand beaches or enjoy a picnic on the sandy stretches. Some of the resorts give their guests the opportunity to unwind on a sandbank or an islet with these tours. As boats are the popular mode of transport to travel between the islands, the travel to popular inhabited islands can be quite inexpensive. For those who are not concerned about budgets, chartering a boat for some days would be the best way to explore the islands in the country. Even the ones that are not on the regular tourist itineraries can be visited.

You can get very cheap holidays to Marrakech offered by some of the tour operators and explore the Moroccan city's cultural attractions.
