WHEN TO GO November to April

GETTING AROUND The most convenient way of travelling between islands in Maldives is via air though it can become incredibly expensive. The other alternative is to travel by public ferry, which although cheaper, can be unreliable at times. Additionally, if you are island hopping, you might be required to stay overnight on an island as ferries do not run regularly
