Atoll Explorer

by daffern

One of the most memorable trips of my life and one that I would love to repeat. The boat was small and cozy and the service was the best that I ever experienced anywhere in the World.No two days were the same as we took in different sights and island visits every day. We had the chance of daily water sports as well as of course diving, which is some of the best diving in the world. It is work booking one of the higher class cabins - next time, we will book the highest class cabin.We booked this 7 day boat trip as part of a package, so not sure of the direct contacts.

Seaplane Transfer

by Gillybob

If you're staying at one of the resort island further away from Hulhule, seaplane transfer may well already be included in the cost of your package. If not, its worth considering paying for an upgrade from your boat transfer to seaplane for at least one direction of your resort transfer. The views from the seaplane are wonderful and you may find yourself stopping at another resort on your way - giving you the opportunity to have a look over the island as you come in to land. You'll also get great views of the uninhabited islands throughout the Maldives. Of course, taking a seaplane transfer to the distant resorts will also shorten your transfer time, in most cases. For those resorts closer to Hulhule, you may well find yourself waiting in the departure lounge at the seaplane airport which may give you a transfer time equal to or longer than a boat transfer.Its worth noting a couple of...

Air and Sea

by shawncastellino

To get to the Maldives one would need to get on an airplane, there are many major carriers that connect Maldives with the rest of the world (Qatar, Emirates, Indian Airlines, Srilankan, Singapore Airways). Many european countries also have special charter services to the MaldivesAs each resort is on one island, the only way to reach your resort is by either a speed boat/Dhoni (Local motor boat) for islands that are near the airport or by Sea Planes to Islands that are away from the Airport

Maldives Liveaboard

by adriankathy

I just came back from my one week vacation in Maldives. We booked the Black Pearl liveaboard online through MaldivesDiveTravel.com website. I can say that me and my husband had an amazing experience diving with them, the staff were very friendly and attentive. We visited 2-3 dive sites each day and saw some manta rays, whales, turtles and sharks. The coral reefs were breathtaking, no wonder Maldives was among the best diving spots in the world.

By waterplane from the island to the airport.

by a5floor

One other way to travel from your island to the airport is by waterplane. It is the fastest way to do so. But also the expensive one. Up to 12 people can go in this waterplane. The suitcases and handluggage go in the back of the plane.

By boat from the Airport to the resort.

by a5floor

After I landed on the International Airport of the Maldives, I had to wait for about half an hour. Around 10am I went to the boat. Together with some other people. First the people go in the boat. When everybody is sitting down, the suitcases go in. Once everything is done, the boat is leaving. From the International Airport to the Rashdoo Atoll it last 1,5 hours by boat. It is really great to experience this. You will have great views. And it is really nice to have a breaze while going to the island. Especially when it is +32C outside.

Seaplane Transfers

by Russ60

After flying from the Uk to Dubai and a change of aircraft for the flight on to the Maldives we were then to be transfered by seaplane on to Kuredu Island. What an experience!! the seaplane takes off from the seaplane terminal at Male Airport and the flight to Kuredu takes about 45mins. Here's a little tip: pick up some earplugs at the check-in in the terminal because the whole flight is noisy with the constant droning of the engines. That aside this has to be one of the most spectacular scenic flights in the World a constant procession of tiny coral islands and atolls pass by your window.

The runway is 2,840 meters (9,315 feet) long and 45 meters (148 feet) wide. It can handle any sized jet passenger plane.

Keep the receipt they issue you!! **
