And so you should! ^
I am not sure it is gouging but the total costs put an average helicopter charter (for the distance) in play. Unlike sea planes which are harder to charter boats are readily available.
the average Maldives guest would be used to paying this for further flung islands through but the beauty of proximity to MLE is potentially freedom to arrange your own transfer.
I would be happy with the prices quoted though for a totally private transfer with booze.
