Getting There
-
Air Travel
Most travelers arrive at Velana International Airport (MLE) near Malé. From there, take a domestic flight to Thimarafushi Airport (TMF) on Thaa Atoll. The flight is approximately 60 minutes. Upon arrival, arrange for a speedboat transfer to your final island destination. Seaplane transfers are also available directly from Malé, offering a scenic but more expensive option. Expect to pay around $500-$600 per person for a seaplane transfer.
-
Speedboat
From any of the local islands within Thaa Atoll, speedboats are a common way to get around. You can hire a private speedboat or use the inter-atoll ferry system. Private speedboats can cost between $20-$50 per person for a trip to a nearby island. The public ferry, operated by MTCC, is much cheaper (MVR 30-60), but only runs once or twice a week. Check the local ferry schedules in advance.
