The greatest time to visit the Maldives is during this season. It's ideal for sight-seeing, cultural events, water sports, and tasting local food. The weather is dry, low-humidity, and delightful during these months, with a moderate temperature. With an average sea temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, April is the best month to go swimming in the water.
In the north, annual rainfall reaches 254 centimetres (100 inches), whereas in the south, it exceeds 381 centimetres (150 inches). September is the rainiest of the year. The region is less appealing to most holidaymakers because to the frequent and heavy rains. On the other hand, some irresponsible individuals are more than happy to make a visit around this time.
In 2009, President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives convened a conference of all members of the cabinet on the seabed to boost consciousness about the risks that the world's seas face, as well as how humankind are meddling with freshwater resources.
With an average elevation of 1.8 metres above sea level, the Maldives is without a doubt the world's flattest country.
The Maldives, despite its western equivalents, does not consider Saturday and Sunday to be weekends, but rather Friday and Saturday. So, if you see individuals working on a Sunday, don't be shocked.
Only Muslims are entitled to call themselves Maldivians, according to the country's constitution. Aside from Islam, no other religion is permitted.
The seaplane trip, a somewhat unique means of transportation, may be absolutely enchanting as it glides at a low altitude and the vistas of the softly whirling azure waters and the islets come into focus. Maldivian Air Taxi and Trans Maldivian Airways are the two main carriers in the Maldives that may transfer up to 15 people at a time. The longest seaplane journeys do not exceed 90 minutes.
From speedboats to local dhonis, a variety of watercraft are used in this area. Any of these can be chartered to sail to surrounding islands. Taxi boats, as they are commonly known, are frequently used to ferry tourists to the numerous islands in the north and south archipelagos. Boats don't run after dark, so keep that in mind when planning sightseeing trips.
The two cities where cabs are most likely to be seen on the roadways are Male and Addu. There are numerous of them on the road, and the taxi sign on top clearly distinguishes them. Because Male is so small, taxi drivers frequently pick up many customers on the same journey. Remember to bring change because, while some taxi drivers accept US dollars, they may not return your change in dollars.
If you wish to travel between islands, the best option is to take a dhoni, a traditional boat that is utilised everywhere here. It isn't as speedy as a speedboat, but it gets the job done and transports you from one island to the next.
The national language of the Maldives is Dhivehi, but most Maldivians are fluent in English.
