Best things to do in Maafushi Island

Bikini Beach is one of the few places on the Muslim island where sun seekers can wear beach attire. Snorkeling is also an option--you will see many colorful fish and even some baby sharks--just wear water shoes near the sharp corals. If you wish to raise your adrenaline levels, rent a jet ski or test your balancing skills on a windsurfing board.
