Travelling Maldives

Essential Information For Maldives

Seaplane Transfers in Maldives

Unlike speedboat transfers, seaplanes can only operate during daylight hours (06.00 to 16.00), which means if your international flight arrives later than 16.00 you will be transferred the following day.

The in-hold baggage allowance on seaplanes is 20 kg per person and the hand luggage allowance 5 kg per person. Excess baggage is charged at US$2-5 per kg (depending on the resort) by the seaplane company on check-in for your flight and this is compulsory due to safety reasons. Please check with individual resorts for more information.

Electricity and Sockets

Maldives' electricity supply is 230-240 volts, 50 Hz AC. Round-pin and square-pin plugs are both common.

“Firstly, we had a great holiday with many adventures, highlights and laughs and we’d highly recommend Sri Lanka to our friends and family. Standouts were Sigiriya, Kandy botanical garden, hill country especially walking up to Ella Rock from Clove Tree and wading across the dam / bitten by leeches! Meena Amma Line Bungalow and Horton Plains Worlds End, bird life, fauna, history, stunning scenery and the people/amazing food. Wasantha was the perfect guide. Patient, thoughtful, knowledgeable and kind.”
