You can contact the local boat/tour operaters directly via websites like

Looks like $250/hour. An hour should be enough to get from male to the WA? 2 ways would be $500 for 2 pax?

Does anyone know how much a kayak rental would be from Male to the Waldorf? With it only being 15 miles away, an experienced kayaker such as myself would be able to make the trip in under 5 hours. Would save me a ton of money by not having to pay for the ridiculous luxury yacht transfer.

Use $250 Aspire Credit at WA Maldives?
Not yet on the list of “Resort” hotels where you can use the $250 resort credit. https://www3.hilton.com/en/resorts/i...6233_436336601
Maybe still in the works? Otherwise, won’t be able to offset that yacht transfer cost

It's a pity about the award games. Would love to make the first week of July but guess availability is now "gone".... sigh!

How long does it take to train for a 15-mile open ocean swim? Towing a luggage raft, of course.

Well I was able to snag Nov 8- Nov 20th Standard Award Availability traveling in EY J the entire way. Confirmed the upgrade to a reef villa for $200 a night. Now the hard part...Waiting.

Congratulations on the absolute ballerest use of a Free Night Certificate.
I just booked a 5-night award stay there. Thought crossed my mind to somehow use this certificate, but I don't think I need a 6th night...there are other places in Asia we want to visit on this trip. I'll end up using mine for a more "mundane" use like an Asian Conrad or something...
