Greater Male' Bus Terminal
About
On North Malé Atoll (Maldives), Greater Male' Bus Terminal is known as the main transport hub serving Malé and the surrounding islands. First-time visitors should expect a busy terminal with buses running throughout the day rather than a tourist facility. Buses operate from 07:00 to 23:00, seven days a week.
A rating of 4.3 out of 5 from 125 reviews suggests regular users find it functional and reliable. The terminal sits in Malé, the capital, and connections extend to Hulhumalé, Hulhulé, Villingili, Thilafushi and Giraavaru. Kuda Huraa and Ihuru lie within the same atoll for those heading to resort islands.
Traffic drives on the left in the Maldives, and motorcycles and taxis are common on the busier islands, so arrivals should watch the road carefully. Every island in the country is low and flat, with no hills or rivers, and most sit only a metre or two above the sea.
The dry northeast monsoon runs from December to April, and the wetter southwest monsoon from May to November, which shapes when inter-island travel is calmest. Manta rays and whale sharks gather in Hanifaru Bay in Baa Atoll during the southwest monsoon. Ferries and speedboats link the atolls, and the terminal is the starting point for many of those journeys.
