When it comes to airport transfers, a seaplane is up there with the most thrilling modes of transport. So, <\/span>what\u2019s<\/span> it really like to take a seaplane <\/span>to the Maldives<\/span>?<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The thought of mixing the sea and planes may seem like a bad idea. But don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s actually totally logical. Let\u2019s start with the basics of how a seaplane works.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A seaplane is an aircraft that can <\/span>set off, float and land on water<\/span><\/b>. You will see floats on the bottom of a seaplane that allow it to do this. They fly low in the sky, with a ceiling of about 10,000 feet, and the cabin isn\u2019t pressurised. This also means that there isn\u2019t any air conditioning on board, so it can get quite hot.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Often carrying up to a <\/span>maximum of 15 passengers<\/span><\/b>, they hop from island to island, dropping off passengers at their selected resorts in the Maldives.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
