How to reach Safari Island
Safari Island Maldives is located on Mushimas Migili Alif Alif Mushimas Migili atoll. Access is via a seaplane transfer from Velana International Airport, a journey of about 20-25 minutes covering 60 km.
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.
