Twelve guests, a window seat each, and a lagoon landing at your resort's own jetty. AquaWings flies the five central atolls from Malé's seaplane terminal — forty-one minutes to anywhere worth going.
Certified & included
Every package is a scheduled departure with a guaranteed window seat, a float-rated pilot in the left seat, and a commentary track on the atoll you are crossing. Pick a length, not a seat number.
Circle Malé, Hulhumalé and the sandbanks of North Malé Atoll at 1,200 ft. The classic first flight — and the best-value seat in the country.
$310per guest
A full crossing of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere — Hanifaru Bay, Veyofushi reef and the Dharavandhoo channel in one afternoon.
$740per guest
We land you on a sandbank with a chef's hamper, snorkel gear and a shade sail. Collected at golden hour, sunburnt and entirely happy.
$1,180per guest
Lift off ninety minutes before dusk and fly the west rim of the atoll as the lagoon turns copper. Land back at the terminal under lights.
$420per guest
We fly the central ring of the Maldives — the atolls that sit within an hour of Malé's seaplane base. Every destination below has a jetty, a lagoon shallow enough to land on, and a scheduled daily rotation in both directions.
34 jetties · Busiest rotation
Malé, Hulhumalé, Bandos and Baros. The shortest hop we fly — wheels-up to lagoon-touch in under fifteen minutes on a good morning.
Flights every 40 min
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
Hanifaru Bay's manta aggregation runs May to November. We fly the bay daily in season, at 900 ft with the door briefed for photography.
Manta season May–Nov
Whale shark corridor
South Ari Marine Protected Area, the Dhigurah sandbank and Rangali reef. The longest lagoon we land on — 1.4 km of clear approach.
Year-round whale sharks
Channel diving country
Felidhoo, Fulidhoo and the Miyaru Kandu channel — grey reef sharks on every tide, and the quietest jetties in the central ring.
Best light 15:00 onward
Overwater resort country
The quiet north — long lagoon walks, the walkway resorts of the Manadhoo group, and 3,000 ft cruise legs above uninhabited reef.
Longest scenic leg
Reef gardens
Kuredu, Komandoo and the fringing gardens of the Lhaviyani rim. Shallow, glassy and rarely busy — our favourite sandbank landing.
