How to reach Safari Island
Safari Island sits in the Mushimas Migili area of Alif Alif Atoll, approximately 73 km from Velana International Airport. The transfer is by seaplane and takes around 25 minutes. The seaplane cost is not included in room rates and must be booked separately as part of the arrival arrangements.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
The journey

- Seaplane transfer. Transfer onward by scenic seaplane over the atolls — roughly 73 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at Safari Island. Settle in and start your stay.
