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.
