Most travelers fly into Velana International Airport (MLE) in Male. From there, you reach Vaavu by resort-organized speedboat or (for some resort islands) seaplane. If you are staying on a local island guesthouse, arrange a speedboat transfer (often from Male or Hulhumale) or use public ferries when schedules align. Liveaboards typically depart from Male area harbors and include Vaavu as part of a Central Atolls route.
On small islands in Vaavu, you usually walk everywhere. Inter-island travel is by speedboat, dhoni, or public ferry.
