GETTING TO DHIGURAH
Transportation in the Maldives is not always easily arranged, and there are a bunch of options to pick from too.
Sea plane, domestic flight, speedboat, public ferries, private transportation.
Transportation in every island and atoll is managed differently. So how to get to Dhigurah / South Ari Atoll?
There are a few options for transportation and we’ll list the typical ones.
Dhigurah is located 97km/60mi from the main airport. You will enter the Maldives at Velana International Airport. Please note that the airport is located on an island next to our capital, Male’ , which is connected with a bridge. Transportation options leave from the airport, as well as from Male’.
Airport <–> Dhigurah: Speedboat, domestic flight or seaplane
Male’ <–> Dhigurah: Speedboat, domestic flight or seaplane
Airport <–> Male’: Take a public ferry for MVR10 (USD 0.70) that goes every 20 minutes, or a taxi over the bridge.
Important note: In the off-chance that the sea is very rough, boats might not travel and the domestic flight will be the only transport option.
