In the process of planning your dream getaway in the tropical isles of the Maldives? Then here is everything you need to know about sea plane transfers.
About Maldives seaplanes scheduled to resorts
Generally, there is a flat fee of $270 to $450 per head for a roundtrip. If you unfortunately happen to book directly from the seaplane airline company or last minute, you will be charged more than what the resort might charge you. Baa Atoll resorts including the likes of Finolhu Maldives offer seaplane transfers and reserve seats for their guests.
Private Maldives seaplane rates
While chartering a seaplane is very expensive, but the experience is very comfortable, and one will not be required to spend hours waiting at the airport. Depending on the location of your accommodation, you will have to pay anywhere from $1200 to $1500 per way.
Things to know before choosing a seaplane transfer
According to Maldivian aviation rules, flights only operate during the day between 6 am to 3.30 pm in the afternoon. If you land before 3 pm, you will be required to stay in Male or an airport hotel.
Service providers
In the Maldives, visitors can choose from the services of three reputed charter plane companies which are Manta Air, Trans Maldivian and Maldivian. The port is located right next to the airport, offering easy access.
