The average island size is 2 km2, and the water separates all of the islands, making it difficult for tourists to visit other islands in a short period of time. The Maldives are also known for its crystal blue water, abundant marine life, and white sand beaches. In the Maldives, there are very few activities/ Yes, we know in a tourist destination like this, there should be many types of activities available.

The islands in the Maldives are formed in different shapes and sizes. The islands from erupted volcanos, which later changes to a reef and then form a sandbank on top of the reef. These sands banks later becomes islands. Some sandbanks get entirely submerged at high tide and surface only at low tide. There are many sandbanks across the country, to visit these sandbanks you need a boat transfer.
