How to reach Iru Guest House
Thulusdhoo sits about 25 km from Malé. The standard route is by public ferry or shared speedboat — both are community transport options rather than private transfers, so check current schedules before booking. The island is in the North Malé Atoll area, making it one of the more accessible local islands from the capital.
The public ferry costs only a few dollars but runs on set days; a shared speedboat is typically $25–50 per person one way. The guesthouse usually arranges the speedboat — confirm days and fare.
