  Pictures of Sandbank I have decided to arrange a sightseeing plan to Maldives by my own, because it would be so expensive if I booked a package tour in new year period. I could have purchased a flight ticket to Etihad via Abu Dhabi from Japan for around $1300 or so, but hotels there were very expensive! You must expect more than $400 even at cheapest hotels, if you book privately. The most expensive ones are over $1000. That must have been special prices for the new year. What is more, you need to prepare for airport transfers and Gala diners (over $100 per person). Even if you found cheap hotels in  for around $200, you have to pay for the seaplane to get there, so it would have been expensive anyway. “Trouble… I might better purchase packaged tours” I was about to give up, but at the moment I found the name of this island on the website ‘Booking.com.’  What was that?

Shopping and restaurant information

There are many shops like convenience stores in Maafishi. Those shops usually open to late, however they close when the time comes to pray. I pay only 12$ plus for this many items.

Access from the airport to Maafushi

The way to go to Maafushi from the airport   ---  Speed Boat   ;   25 $ per person for one way. 1- The first place you will head for is Malé. Turn right after you go out from the lobby and keep going for a while. So then you will find the ticket office for ferry. Pay 2 $ and get ride on the ferry to Malé 2- Once you arrive at Malé, turn right and keep going for about 100, and try to find a boat station to go to Maafushi. It would be easier to find the red building “Bank of Maldives” first, because the station is right in front of the building. ★If you arrive at airport after 9pm Speed boat service (25$ for one way) closes at 10pm. If you couldn’t make it, you will have to ask the hotel to charter a private speed boat to travel to Maafushi Island. If you share the ride with other guest, the cost will be divided by the number, which makes the cost cheaper.
