Field notes
20-minute speedboat transfer from Malé International Airport (MLE)
Because of its proximity to the airport, boat transfers run 24 hours a day. Upon boarding, you are asked to remove your shoes ('no news, no shoes').
Marine Biologist Snorkeling Tour
Coordinate with the resident marine biologist at the Coral Lines Project. Book a guided snorkel tour at 10:00 AM to help check on the rehabilitation ropes.
Speedboat Proximity & Island Privacy
Proximity to Malé means seaplane transfers are not needed, saving travel time, but the sound of distant boat traffic or planes can occasionally reach the outer villas.
