Lhohi

Scheduled Speedboat

From N. Maafaru

2 hr 55 min • $3.24 per person

Daily except Friday

RTL high-speed boat, and the only public transport to the island. There is no direct Maafaru–Lhohi sailing: you change at Manadhoo, the atoll capital, and the wait there runs over two hours, so the duration given covers the whole airport-to-island journey rather than the roughly 40 minutes actually spent afloat. One run each way per day, and nothing at all on Fridays. Lhohi's own departure is early morning, so leaving the island and catching a Malé flight the same day does not work. Fare is the fixed per-person one-way public rate.

Not suited to late arrivals

Private Speedboat

From N. Maafaru

Daily

A chartered transfer across from the airport island, arranged through your property before you travel rather than booked off a timetable. It is the only way to reach Lhohi on the same day as the morning flight, because the public boat connection does not link up with it. A direct run from Malé is possible but the island sits about 180 km north, so transfers are normally arranged from Maafaru instead. This is a charter fare for the whole boat, not a fixed per-person rate.

Not suited to late arrivals

Domestic Flight

From Velana International Airport (Malé)

1 hr 45 min • $173.15 per person

Daily

Maldivian is the sole operator into Maafaru International Airport (NMF), the airport island for Noonu, with one departure from Malé each morning. The airport is not on Lhohi: from Maafaru you continue by boat, either the public RTL connection or a private transfer arranged by the guesthouse. The single morning departure means a Malé arrival later in the day waits until the next morning. Fare is the fixed per-person one-way rate.
