Getting Around In the Maldives
Ferry Service from the Airport
A ferry service is available from the airport island to the capital around the
clock. A special dhoni ferry leaves from the airport jetty to the capital every
15 minutes. After midnight, the schedule changes to one every 30 minutes after midnight.
Set charge per person for the ferry service is USD 1/- during normal operating
hours and a charge of USD 2/- per person at midnight. (prices are subject to
change)
Since the airport island is geographically separate from the capital, the only
means of transport to the capital is by sea.
If required a dhoni can be chartered by for transfer to the capital at set
rates. Further details cab be attained from the ferry terminal at the jetty of
the airport.
As for inter island travel, Maldivian Air Taxi and Trans Maldivian Airways operate special air transfer trips to most of the resorts. This mode of transport is best arranged by your agents or the resort operative. Normally resort operators have arrangements for chartered flights to their resort with either of these parties.

Travel Warning
Travel Warnings are issued to
describe long-term, protracted conditions that make a country dangerous or
unstable. A Travel Warning is also issued when the U.S. Government's ability to
assist American citizens is constrained due to the closure of an embassy or
consulate or because of a drawdown of its staff. The countries listed below
meet those criteria. Additionally, the State Department issues
Country Specific Information for every
country of the world with information on such matters as the health conditions,
crime, unusual currency or entry requirements, any areas of instability, and the
location of the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate in the subject country. Check with the U.S. State Department for
Travel Warnings, Consular Information Sheets & Public
Announcements.

i-to-i is one of the world’s fastest growing adventure travel organizations. It is unique as they specialize in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) training and volunteer placements overseas. Each year, thousands of i-to-i volunteers are literally building bridges among communities and earning respect from some of the most important care agencies in existence. The examples speak for themselves. When Save the Children approached i-to-i for assistance with their on-going development programmed for Intibucá, one of the poorest regions in Honduras, they supplied volunteers who are now building homes and teaching English to the indigenous Lenca people. Along with The Maldives, they also operate in several other countries including: Australia, Bolivia, China, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Ghana, Honduras, India, Ireland, Korea, Nepal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.
