General Question

04 QUESTIONS
What makes Adventure Maldives different from a Resort holiday?

Unlike a traditional resort holiday where you stay in one location, Adventure Maldives allows you to explore multiple destinations while staying aboard a comfortable liveaboard yacht. Cruise through the Maldives, discover different atolls, visit beautiful islands and sandbanks, and enjoy a variety of activities and experiences along the way.

What is included in your package?

Our packages include airport meet-and-greet services and transfers to and from the airport before noon on arrival and departure days only. Guests enjoy accommodation in air-conditioned cabins with outside windows, en-suite bathrooms with hot water, towels, and room service. Full-board buffet meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), unlimited tea and coffee, and complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi are included. Depending on the itinerary, guests can enjoy approximately 24–25 dives, including one night dive, subject to flying restrictions. Diving equipment, including 11.5-litre aluminum DIN/INT tanks, lead belts, an escorting dive boat, an instructor, and an experienced local PADI dive guide, is provided, along with complimentary Nitrox for certified divers. Additional experiences such as sightseeing in Hulhumalé, the use of local-style fishing gear, island visits, beach dinners, snorkeling, or other activities may also be included depending on the selected itinerary, availability, weather, and sea conditions. Package inclusions may vary, so please refer to the specific itinerary for full details.

What is not included in your package?

The package does not include additional dives beyond those specified in the selected itinerary, bar expenses, equipment rental, domestic flights required for certain itineraries such as Southern Trips, entry or access fees for specific sites such as Hanifaru Bay and Tiger Shark Point, or any other additional charges that may apply based on the selected itinerary.

Before you Travel

07 QUESTIONS
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives

Most visitors can obtain a 30-day tourist visa on arrival in the Maldives. Travelers should have a valid return or onward ticket and confirmation of their accommodation or booking. Visa requirements can vary depending on nationality, so we recommend checking the latest official Maldives immigration requirements before travelling.

The majority of our packages start and end in Malé. You should therefore plan to fly into Velana International Airport (MLE), the main international airport serving the Maldives.

Do you provide airport transfers?

Yes. Airport transfers are provided for our guests according to the arrangements for their specific trip. Our team will provide you with the relevant transfer details before your arrival.

What time should my flight arrive?

What happens if my flight is delayed?

If your flight is delayed, please contact our team as soon as possible. On the first day of your trip, the yacht will generally remain nearby to allow for guest arrivals, so a short flight delay is usually manageable. However, we recommend informing us immediately so we can coordinate your transfer and boarding arrangements.

What should I pack for my trip?

We recommend packing comfortable, lightweight clothing suitable for a tropical climate, swimwear, sun protection, personal toiletries, and any medication you regularly take. If you have personal sports equipment, such as your own snorkeling gear or surfboard, you may also bring it with you. Please check your specific adventure package for any additional equipment requirements.

Do I need a travel insurance?

Yes, we strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance before your trip. Your policy should cover your chosen adventure activities, medical expenses, emergency assistance, trip cancellation, and other relevant travel risks.
