Boat Transfer
To reach Fari Islands from Athuruga Island, you will need to take a speedboat. Head to the nearest dock on Athuruga Island. Look for the designated speedboat service that operates transfers to Fari Islands. You may need to purchase a ticket at the dock or book in advance through your hotel or a local travel agency. The boat ride typically takes around 20-30 minutes, offering you stunning views of the Maldives' turquoise waters. Ensure you check the boat schedule as it may vary throughout the day.
Seaplane Transfer
An alternative to the speedboat is to take a seaplane, which can provide a unique aerial view of the islands. You can arrange for a seaplane transfer through your resort or a travel agency while in Athuruga Island. The seaplane terminal is usually located at Velana International Airport (MLE) on the main island of Male. You will need to take a boat or other transportation from Athuruga Island to Male, which can be arranged through your hotel. After arriving at Male, you can check in for your seaplane flight, which takes about 10-15 minutes to reach Fari Islands. Be mindful of the additional costs associated with seaplane transfers, as they can be significantly higher than boat transfers.
