Maldives Transfers
The transfer in the Maldives is very different from the other country as it is organized by speed boat and Seaplane depending on the resort you have booked. Some islands can be reached by boat, and some require a seaplane trip or a domestic flight + boat.
If your island is located close enough to Malé, you can reach an island by a speedboat. The resort organizes a private speedboat transfer to pick you up from Male International Airport and immediately following to the hotel.
For those destinations that are located in the far atolls, which are a long distance from Male, you need to book a transfer by seaplane. Seaplanes operate only in the daytime, so when booking a transfer to/from Male some planning is required.
IMP Note: Seaplane/ Domestic Flight arrival cannot be arranged if International flight lands After 14:20 Hrs, also the departure of the international flight should fall in after 9 AM till 15:00 Hrs to arrange Seaplane / Domestic Flight transfer
