Flying in the Maldives - World’s Largest Seaplane Operation

I hopped on TransMaldivian Airways Twin Otter seaplane flying around the Maldives with some of the best views! However, the sunny weather changed and I encountered some rough weather in paradise.

TransMaldivian is the world’s largest seaplane operator with 65 seaplanes from its base in Male, Maldives. Seaplane operation is crucial for tourism in the Maldives. I managed some plane spotting at the seaplane terminal before boarding my flight. The seaplane pilots in the Maldives wear shorts and sandals to fly and earned the nickname “barefoot pilot”

My flight was commanded by Captain Saif, who flew us to 3 resorts and back. We took off from the seaplane runway, flew over Male city, headed South and went as low as 500 feet for some beautiful sightseeing. Shortly before our landing at the first resort, the weather changed with rain showers in the area.

The turnaround time at each resort was just 5-10 minutes like a bus operation. Our next stop was the LUX resort where we were welcomed by a team of staff. The weather deteriorated rapidly so we have to quickly depart. The visibility was too low to land at our last stop. We had to divert to land in a lagoon and docked on a platform in the middle of the choppy sea. It was a very unexpected experience in paradise!

I had never ever imagined I would land on a platform rocking in the sea soaking wet in the heavy downpour…

Maldives is one of the most dispersed countries in the world, each island is separated by the sea, therefore Maldives Transfers are one the most challenging part for the visitors and locals. There is no transportation system that connects the Maldives as a whole. A portion of the nation is connected by aircraft, while another is connected by water. A ferry boat or an aircraft transfer is required to access an island. One of the most used transportation in Maldives is the ferry boat transfer, as these are the cheapest Maldives transfers (1-5$ PP), which are fine for a short distance and good weather. Boats take up to 3-24 hours to get from one atoll to another, even though a speed boat takes just 1-6 hours, and many boats are unable to proceed due to inclement weather. As a result, there are no reliable boats for cross-country transit. There is, however, an internal ferry network for each atoll, which runs one ferry daily in certain locations and one or two weekly in others (these internal ferry boats also take around 2-5hrs to the most distant islands in the atoll). there are some private speed boat transfers, which are fast and convenient, costs around (20-50$ PP) and take around 30-50 minutes to the most distant island in the atoll.

Keep in mind there are no Maldives resortS transfer service providers at the International Airport. All island transportation, whether to a resort or a local island, must be reserved before you arrive in the Maldives (apart from the public ferry) (budget accommodation). There are no public ferries, boats, or water taxis available to take you to your accommodation from Velana International Airport (Male). Coming to the Maldives and arranging on-site transportation from the airport to the island on your own is quite challenging. To guarantee a seamless transfer procedure and avoid unwelcome airport delays or even an extra night in Male, all transfers must be scheduled in advance. There are no shared timetables for public ferries (slow boats) or speedboats to or from resorts in the Maldives.

There are only very few islands that can be visited by domestic planes. The Maldives flights are operated to transfer between Atolls, most of the domestic airports are located in uninhabited islands, then again from the domestic airport, you will need another boat transfer to the islands located in the Atolls. There are 3 domestic Maldives airlines operated and ticket price costs around 100-200$ per way per person. To book Maldives flight tickets you can click on the above domestic transfers button

Maldives International Airport holds the biggest seaplane port in the world. Maldives Seaplane transfers are one of the most convenient ways for far distant resorts, as it can take off from the international Airport and land directly to most resorts and islands. Private charters are also available.

To understand the Maldive's public ferry schedules, you will have to fully understand the Atoll names and island names. You will find some island names in different Atolls. Each Atoll has an internal transportation ferry network, We call them (provincial ferries), and they function similarly to a metro system. The only difference is that our ferries are slower and can only make one voyage every day, but it works just the same. It starts from one island and it will make a round with stops to some islands on the way. The same ferry will return to the starting point after completing a round.
