By the end of the week, the people there and on the island were so nice that I was so sad to leave. The staff were kind and since the island is so small you meet the same people a lot of times and they'll remember you!

Anyways, we arrived at Male airport the first day at around 12pm. To get from Male airport to Maafushi you need to go to Male first on a public ferry which takes about 10minutes and then get on another public ferry which was $2 per person and takes 90minutes to get to Maafushi.(Probably best to get on the taxi from where you get off at Male from the ferry and where you get on the ferry to Maafushi. The taxi only costs about $2-$3 and it's like "all you can ride".) Please do check the public ferry timetable before hand as there only maximum of 2 public ferries a day to maafushi and even one on somedays. No public ferries on Friday.

Or the alternative way is to book a speedboat from Male airport to Maafushi directly which only takes 30minutes but costs $25 per person. I am sure you can arrange it with the hotel but we booked it online at iCom Tours. I do recommend booking it though when you arrive at Male since when we arrived it was a public holiday in the Maldives and no public ferries were running that day. So you never know what happens!
