Introduction
There is no transfer service provided by RINDALI. However, we would assist you in arranging your transfer from Male to Maaenboodhoo Island via public speedboat ferry or domestic flight. To make the necessary arrangements and confirm the schedule of the speedboat transfer, it is recommended to contact us in advance.
1. Speedboat Transfer
(3 hours 30 minutes by speedboat ferry)
Every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, a private individual operates a speedboat ferry that travels in both directions. The ferry leaves from Male's south harbor at 11:30 a.m., charging $50 per person for a one-way trip. The journey typically lasts about 3 hours and 30 minutes. During the voyage, the ferry makes two or three stops at different islands, with approximately 30 minutes of waiting time expected at Meedhoo Island for refueling. Since it's a public ferry, we anticipate a large number of passengers on board.
