- There are no direct speedboat transfers from Himmafushi to popular atolls such as South Ari Atoll (famous for whale sharks) or Baa Atoll (a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve), as well as other southern Maldives islands. To visit these atolls, you'll need to return to Velana International Airport (MLE) and take either a speedboat, seaplane, or domestic flight.
