Getting There
Speedboat
The most common way to reach Thoddoo Island Life from Velana International Airport (MLE) near Malé is by speedboat. Speedboats depart from the airport jetty and take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. It's recommended to pre-book your seat either online or through your accommodation. A one-way trip typically costs around $35-$50 per person. Upon arrival at the airport, a representative from your guesthouse will likely meet you and escort you to the speedboat.
Public Ferry
A more budget-friendly option is the public ferry, operated by MTCC, which takes approximately 4-5 hours to reach Thoddoo. The ferry makes a stop at Rasdhoo Island along the way. The direct public ferry to Thoddoo departs from Malé (not the airport) at 23:45 daily, except Fridays, and costs around $10 per person. Alternatively, take the MTCC ferry from Malé to Rasdhoo (Mondays and Thursdays at 9 am, $3), then transfer to a local ferry from Rasdhoo to Thoddoo. Be sure to check the updated schedule on the MTCC website, as ferries can be delayed or canceled due to weather conditions.
