Hi! I did not take a local ferry. To my knowledge, there is no local ferry. I came via sailboat that I was staying on the entire trip. Other ways to get to the island are private speedboat transfer, private or group Dhoni transfer, and sea plane. You must arrange all day trips beforehand. The boat ride was great as the ocean is very smooth unless you are crossing atolls. I was coming from Dhigurah island, located farther south in Ari Atoll. Hope this helps!
