Internal air services
are operated by Island Aviation Services, linking male with Kaadedhdhoo,
Kadhdhoo and Gan. There are also services to Hanimaadhoo in the
north, although these islands will not be on most visitors’
itineraries.
A number of companies operate twin-otter and float plan services
around Maldives. The transfer from the airport to the resort islands
may be an optional extra on the tour. These services are also available
for trips around the islands. |

| SEA |
|
| Visitors generally remain
on their resort island for the duration of their stay, although
island-hopping trips by ferries are widely available. Local charter
boats are also easily available for hire. High-speed boats meet
arrivals at the airport, supplied by the resort they are booked
with, and boats are available for hire at the ferry counter near
the jetty area. The speedboats connect the airport with Ari Atoll
and some outlying islands. The indigenous inhabitants, however,
live a parochial life and tend to visit only male, and even then
irregularly. |

| ROAD |
|
| Travel on individual
islands does not present any problem since few of them take longer
than half an hour to cross on foot. In male, it is possible to take
taxis. |
