Air Transport : Apart from international flights operated by Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), India (Trivandrum), Qatar (Doha), Sri Lanka (Colombo), Singapore, the U.A.E. (Dubai), and a number of European countries to and from Malé International Airport (Tel: 3322073), there are also regular domestic flights operated by Island Aviation to Hanimaadhoo, Kadhdhoo, Kaadhedhdhoo, and Gan. Inter-island services are operated by Trans Maldivian Airways and the Maldivian Air Taxi, the latter having the largest air fleet. Sight-seeing trips, flights to uninhabited islands, photo-shooting trips, executive charters, and medevac operations are also carried out by them.

Water Transport : Local boats, or dhoanis (average speed 7 knots), are the most common means of water transport. One can make use of the regular ferry service operating between Malé and the International Airport. Modern speedboats are also available for hire. Safari vessels are an ideal way to explore atolls.

Road Transport : Travel on most islands takes no more than half-an-hour on foot. Bicycles, scooters, mopeds, and motorbikes are popular modes of transport. Taxis in Malé are unmetered, charging Rf15, if hailed on the road or if called through taxi services (3325656, 3323132, etc.). Taxis are also available on Gan.
