Take off on one of our fast twin Yamaha WaveRunners with your private guide for a ripping blue water adventure on the open ocean surrounding Anantara.

Please note:

This is a private guided excursion which will include a briefing and short lesson on how to enjoy this exciting experience safely. You (and your partner) will be on one jet ski, while the other jet ski will be ridden by your guide. This guide will escort you on a thrilling but safe adventure in the local area. It is also possible, if you prefer, to have the guide drive the jet ski and you remain as the passenger.

Later, your kids will always remember seeing that manta ray pass beneath them in our Peek-a-boo kayak with a clear panel in the bottom. Whichever type you choose, continue your Maldives adventure by kayak.
