Maldives Transportation Guide - Resorts and Resident Islands

Maldives Transportation Guide🛫🚁⚓️🪝 Every time I travel, I spend a lot of time reading a lot of articles online, looking for different official websites in the hope of finding the cheapest and most accurate transportation information. I hope this video can save you time and trouble. Resort Island🏖️ Most hotels have their own transportation. When booking, they will ask for your flight number, and then the hotel will arrange for an airport representative to wait for everyone in the pick-up hall. There is no need to worry about flight delays, the hotel will pick you up according to the flight situation. The airport receptionist will pick you up with a hotel name tag and take you to the relevant means of transportation. They will even assist with check-in for seaplanes/domestic flights. Whether you book directly on the official website or through a travel agency, the above operations will be followed and you don’t have to worry about anything. If you book through a third-party online program, the price usually does not include transportation, and you will need to contact the hotel separately to inquire about transportation methods and costs. Most resort islands do not allow you to arrange your own transportation, and there is no public transportation to the hotel, so you don’t need to spend time searching for other ways. Simply communicate directly with the hotel/travel agency. Another thing to note is that seaplanes can only operate during the day. If your international flight arrives at night, you will need to stay on the main island for one night. You only need to provide the resort with the name of the hotel on the main island, and the resort will contact the hotel on the main island to arrange transportation to the island the next day. Generally, the seaplane time can only be confirmed the night before. So you have to wait patiently🛫 Residential island🏝️ Each resident island will have different boat operators to arrange transportation to and from the main island/airport. Because it is a private business, the sailing schedule may be slightly adjusted almost every day. There are very few ways to get to inhabited islands on the Internet. Long-distance ones may even take a 4-6 hour speedboat ride, but there are usually options for domestic flights (30-90 minutes). For more distant inhabited islands, the store will need to arrange a speedboat to pick you up at the nearest inland airport. Even I or other locals who are in the area cannot find information online. Generally, you need to ask friends who live near your destination to find out. Therefore, it is not recommended that you book a remote inhabited island online, because if you cannot contact the store, you will not be able to arrange transportation or activities. It is recommended to contact the store first and then book a room. Alternatively, you can book through a local travel agency, which not only gives you better prices, but also helps you avoid communication problems with the store. Whether it is a speedboat or an inland flight, the price for tourists is fixed. The price will only fluctuate due to distance, not due to the shipping company or B&B. Some B&Bs include transportation costs in their room rates, so be sure to ask clearly~ Between islands🗺️ This is a question many people are curious about, and many people choose a two-island trip. There is no direct transportation between most of the islands. Generally, you need to return to the airport/Male main island first before going to your second destination. There is also the option of chartering a boat, but generally speaking, even a 20-minute boat trip from the resort island will cost at least $500. If the distance is far, going back to the airport first is definitely the fastest way🌼 The transportation in island countries is really complicated. I hope the above information can help everyone🌻 The easiest way is~ just send me a private message to ask hahahaha #Maldives #Maldives #MaldivesTraffic #Maldives
