While rain is common, often occurring on over 14 days with about 172 mm of precipitation, the showers are usually short and quick, leaving room for sunshine and outdoor activities.

Places to Visit in the Maldives in June 

1. Hulhumale

Hulhumale, a public island located in the south of the North Male Atoll is one of the best places in Maldives to witness the local culture. Hulhumale Island is also a hub of water sports activities with certified water sports centres like Beach Club Maldives, Dune Maldives diving centre, Just Saltwater sports etc. The western side of an atoll is best for scuba diving during this time as the incoming currents cause water to rise in the deep ocean and flow into the shallow atoll which means greater visibility, slightly cooler water and better chances at seeing pelagic fishes.

2. Rasdhoo Island

Things to Do in Maldives in June

  • Windsurfing and Kitesurfing: June is ideal for windsurfing and kitesurfing thanks to the stronger winds brought by the monsoon season. The southwest monsoon winds provide perfect conditions for these adrenaline-pumping water sports. Several resorts offer equipment and lessons for beginners, making it an exciting option for both newcomers and experienced surfers.
  • Surfing: June is part of the Maldives' surfing season, which runs from March to October. The islands, particularly in the central and northern atolls, experience consistent swells during this period. The strong winds and rougher seas in June create great surfing conditions, making it a popular time for surfers. Malé Atoll is especially renowned for its surf breaks, such as Chickens, Cokes, and Sultans, which attract surfers from all over the world.
  •  Deep-Sea Fishing: June is also a great time for deep-sea fishing due to the abundant marine life brought by the monsoon currents. Big-game fishing for species like marlin, tuna, sailfish, and barracuda is especially popular during this month. Several resorts and charters offer deep-sea fishing trips, where visitors can experience the thrill of catching some of the ocean’s largest fish.
  • Dolphin and Whale Watching: Although June is not the best month for diving due to reduced underwater visibility, it is still an excellent time for dolphin and whale watching. The stronger ocean currents attract various marine species, and many resorts offer dolphin cruises. You can spot playful pods of dolphins swimming along the boat, especially during sunset tours.

Keep a check on the weather forecasts and hope for the best! To clarify, Maldives is breathtaking all days of the year!
