Experience the secret nightlife of Raa Atoll. Available on request, this private after-dark excursion reveals a unique side of life in the Maldives.

A fascinating way to experience the reef, illuminated by torchlight and a sense of adventure!

Rainbow fish, vibrant corals, turtles, stingrays, mantas, eagle rays, reef sharks...an astonishing variety of marine life can be seen around JOALI Maldives.

For a completely different perspective under the waves, join the Night Snorkelling expedition. The reef becomes a hive of activity after dark, as nocturnal sea-creatures wake up and begin hunting for food.
The JOALI Marine Centre coordinates motorised and non-motorised water sports including parasailing, jet ski, seabob, tow sports, windsurfing, kitesurfing, sailing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.
Catch the wind and let it take you on an epic windsurfing adventure. Our experienced instructor teaches beginners how to keep their balance on the board while holding and steering the attached sail. Once you know the basics, it’s easy to power across the lagoon. Experienced windsurfers with a license can head out on their own.
Want to try your hand at sailing? Our small, lightweight catamaran is the perfect vessel for lessons – and the Maldives is the perfect place. Learn to handle lines and tillers, and how to keep the catamaran in balance. Experienced sailors with a license can rent a catamaran on their own. Optionally, join one of our sailing excursions with a skipper so you can sit back, relax and simply enjoy the breezy ride.
Harness the power of the wind to glide across the surface of the sea and soar into the air. Join our short course to learn all you need to know about kitesurfing. Along with testing physical strength and endurance, this exhilarating watersport offers plenty of fun.
Just wing it! Catch the breeze to levitate above the water and soar into the air. Wind winging combines elements of surfing and windsurfing. With an inflatable wing in hand, you’ll have the freedom to fly by your own rules in this exciting new watersport.
Another incredible way to explore our crystal-clear lagoon. Stand up on a large board, similar to a surfboard, and use a paddle to propel and steer your way across the waves. The calm waters make it easy to master this skill – you’ll be paddling around the island in no time.
Explore the peaceful waters around the island at your own speed. Hop into a kayak or pedalo, and head out into the lagoon. Glide along and relax as you drink in the stunning surroundings, or step up the pace to give your muscles a mini- workout.
Soak in phenomenal views of a hundred different shades of blue as you soar above the sea on a high- altitude parasailing flight. Enjoy the invigorating rush of wind, then float back down to the waves. You’ll be securely strapped in a parachute, connected to the back of a parasailing boat.
Try Flyboarding, one of the most exciting new extreme watersports. Like other board sports, it’s all about finding your balance. Learn the basics with our experienced instructor: with a little practise and a lot of determination, you’ll soon be able to rise over the water. Once you master the core skills, you’ll be flying and doing tricks high above the lagoon.
Learn to surf without the need for big waves. Our high-performance electric surfboards can propel you to a speed of up to 50 km/hr in seconds. Speed is controlled via a handheld wireless remote control: with the click of a button, you can hover above the water. Our peaceful lagoon is the ideal setting to practise standing up and finding your balance on an efoil.
Almost nobody leaves our resort without experiencing this exhilarating ride. Safe and easy to use, jet skis are perfect for couples and families alike. As you speed across the shimmering water, enjoy the refreshing breeze and sea spray. Take a ride in the lagoon, or set off on a jet ski safari around the island. You can even go dolphin spotting on your jet ski!
Grab a seabob and dance like a dolphin in the sea. This nifty watercraft allows you to dive in and out of the water effortlessly, much like a dolphin. Seabobs are wonderfully easy to navigate: zip around at high speed, or cruise at a lesiurely pace.
Up for a new challenge? Test your power and endurance with this classic extreme watersport. Our instructor is on hand to help beginners get started. If you’re an experienced water skier, the Maldives is the perfect place to learn a new stunt.
Hold on to the towrope for a splashy adventure. Like in other board sports, the goal is to be able to stand up and keep your balance. If you’ve tried surfing or snowboarding, you can apply the same techniques to wakeboarding. In just a few tries, you’ll find yourself “crossing the wake”. Experienced wakeboarders can take this opportunity to practise new manoeuvres.
An easy introduction to the world of board sports. Kneeboarding has a much lower centre of gravity, so it’s easier to keep your balance as you hold onto the towrope while a speedboat pulls you across the water. With just a little patience and practise, you’ll be “threading along the wake” like a pro.
Enjoy the fabulous flow of surfing along with the tricks of wakeboarding. Our special wake surfboat creates waves similar to those found in surfer-friendly oceans. Because the boat makes waves continuously, there is a constant curling effect – some wake surfers can carve through a wake for several minutes.
Enjoy an exciting ride in our banana boat with family or friends. Have a splashing good time as our captain takes you around the lagoon on a thrilling journey, full of twists, turns and bounces. Falling into the water adds to the fun! We also have a variety of inflatable water toys, a favourite among kids of all ages.
Put a new spin on summer fun with the Spinera. The self-rotating inflatable tube toy is pulled across the waves by a boat, creating loads of breezy thrills and laughter along the way. An ideal activity for 6-12 people.
