Public Ferry
There are public ferries that operate between Malé and Dhigurah, but they may not run daily, and the schedule can be irregular. You would need to check the ferry schedule in advance. Public ferries are a more budget-friendly option, but they may take longer and be less comfortable compared to a speedboat transfer.
Domestic Flight + Speedboat
You can take a domestic flight from Malé to nearby Maamigili, followed by a speedboat transfer to Dhigurah. This option is faster but may be more expensive than taking a direct speedboat from Malé to Dhigurah Island.
Seaplane Transfer
Some guesthouses in Dhigurah offer seaplane transfers from Malé to a nearby private island resort and then arrange a Speedboat to take you from the resort to Dhigurah. Seaplanes offer a scenic and quick way to reach your destination but tend to be more expensive than other modes of transportation.
When planning your trip to Dhigurah, make sure to check the availability and pricing of transportation options, and consider factors such as cost, travel time, and convenience based on your preferences and budget. It’s also a good idea to coordinate with your guesthouse to arrange your transfer in advance.
