Book NowIf you are planning to stay at the Holiday Garden, you should fly down to the Velana International Airport (Male international airport). Rasdhoo is around 60 kilometres away from Male city, so the rest of the journey can be made by the water or via the sky, the latter of which is a very expensive option.
There are essentially three means to reach Rasdhoo from Male – public ferry, scheduled or private speedboat, and seaplane.
Public ferry: The cheapest option to reach Rasdhoo from Male is also the longest. It can take you around 3-4 hours to reach Rasdhoo on ferries. The view promises to be stunning, of course. So, if you have the time, you can board a public ferry. Another catch is that public ferries do not run every day. Ferries to Rasdhoo only run two to three times a week. In that case, you’d have to coordinate your journey carefully so that you reach on the day there’s a ferry running.
Scheduled speedboats: Scheduled speedboats are much faster than ferries and can cut your journey by more than half. The speedboats cost more than ferries, but if you want to save time, this is the best way to travel to Rasdhoo. Like ferries, scheduled speedboats also run for two or three days a week at predetermined timings. You should speak to the hotel staff to check for the correct timings so that you can be at the dock at the right time.
Private speedboats: Private speedboats are much more expensive than scheduled speedboats. This is because these boats do not have any specific timing and will start at your convenience. The only exception to the timing would government mandated ones. The time taken to reach Rasdhoo is similar to that taken by scheduled speedboats.
Seaplanes: Seaplanes are a great option for those who plan to splurge on their Maldivian vacation. A seaplane can take you to Rasdhoo from Male city in 15 minutes but will burn a big hole in your pockets. They are small aeroplanes that fly above the sea. An added advantage is that flying by seaplane is also an experience in itself in the Maldives.
The Holiday Garden also offers an airport shuttle service for an extra cost. You need to call the airport staff to enquire about the service, and they’ll arrange all transfers for you. You may also be accompanied by a guide who’ll take you straight to the hotel. For those who do not want the hassle of booking transportation tickets separately, this is a great option.
