Tips for Visiting Kendhoo#
- On inhabited Maldivian islands like Kendhoo, time your visit around local ferry schedules or speedboat transfers - public ferries are infrequent and planning arrival/departure around the published timetable avoids long waits.
- Respect local customs on inhabited islands by using modest dress in island villages and asking before photographing people or entering mosque areas; this is commonly expected and helps maintain good relations with residents.
- Most visitors focus only on the main jetty; walk the island's interior lanes where you'll find local handicraft stalls and quiet shorelines that many day-trippers overlook.
