Thulusdhoo is reachable exclusively by speedboat from Malé — approximately 30 minutes across the turquoise waters of Kaafu Atoll. Two services operate: the private River Speed ferry and the public MTCC island ferry. Notify us of your flight details and we will coordinate your arrival seamlessly.
River Speed operates a frequent, comfortable service between Thulusdhoo, Malé, and the Airport. This is the most convenient option for guests arriving from Velana International Airport, as the service stops directly at the airport jetty.
