How to reach Alaika Maafushi
Maafushi sits roughly 28 km from Velana International Airport near Malé. The transfer runs by public ferry or shared speedboat — the ferry is the budget-friendly option, while a shared speedboat cuts travel time. Neither requires advance booking through the guest house, though the tour desk can advise on current schedules.
The public ferry costs only a few dollars but runs on set days; a shared speedboat is typically $25–50 per person one way. The guesthouse usually arranges the speedboat — confirm days and fare.
