"Life is about the Journey"
So when you go to visit or live on a small island away from Male, I guess you only have 2 options on how to get there... either you transfer by boat or your take, well... a sea plane.
The sea plane stand, as in taxi stand, is on the same island as the airport. Maldives Airport hosts the biggest sea plane operation in the world (according to Male Airport's website). It operates as a taxi service and the sea planes can fly to several islands in one go - leaving and picking up passengers to fly them to their destination.
It was a first for the kids and for me as well - and wow I absolutely loved every minute of it! It took us 25 minutes to reach our little paradise and it was just amazing to look down at all the small island and lagoons on the way... the kids also thought it was great! It is a bit noisy though, but you can ask for ear plugs on board.

There used to be 2 companies Trans Maldivian and Maldivian Air Taxi, but they are both owned by one company now, since last year they operate under Trans Maldivian Airways.
This poster from their website tells you a little bit about it all!
Back to our little trip - here are a few pictures I took!
