Although there are other ways to get around in the Maldives, seaplane travelling can be called the best due to several reasons. Throughout the seaplane ride, it’s an enjoyable experience!
Why seaplanes when in the Maldives?
The Maldives is a collection of over 1000 beautiful islands located separately. Thus, travelling from one island to the other either requires a ferry or a seaplane- which is the fastest option of all.
Seaplanes –pros and cons
As mentioned, seaplanes are fast! A ferry would take around 3 hours to go to one island from the Male International Airport, but a seaplane will only take 30 minutes or less. And the views from above are just so unforgettable.
Other options to get around
If you plan to go island hopping from any of the Maldives island resorts the likes of Huvafen Fushi Maldives, you may also take a ferry or a speed boat to reach the other island. They’ll not be as fast as the seaplane, but you’ll surely enjoy these experiences as well.
Things to know before your journey
Seaplanes are expensive and you won’t be able to negotiate prices with seaplane companies in the Maldives. And they will not always work on time, so you don’t need to have any fear about their delays.
