Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will I be staying?

All travelers stay in local guesthouses on the island of Dhiffushi during the trip. The accommodation offers rooms for up to 4 people, equipped with air conditioning, WiFi, and a private bathroom. The rooms can be arranged with single beds or double beds, depending on your preference

Please note: The specific guesthouse where you will stay depends on availability on your travel date. All accommodations meet high hygiene standards and are regularly cleaned by the staff. Bedding is replaced every 3 days to ensure a fresh and comfortable stay.

What about the food during my trip?

During your stay, you’ll have the chance to enjoy a mix of local and international dishes. The package includes three buffet-style meals per day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Additionally, basic beverages such as coffee, tea, juice, and water are also included.

Are alcoholic beverages available on the island?

Due to the religious and cultural norms on the islands, the consumption, possession, or trade of alcohol is officially not permitted. We encourage you to respect local customs and rules during your stay. However, don’t worry – during your trip, you’ll likely come across places, such as resort islands or floating bars, where alcohol is served and sold. This way, you can still enjoy a drink in suitable locations.

What are the cancellation rules for a trip?

If you wish to cancel or change your booking, please contact us as soon as possible. Changes are subject to availability and may incur additional costs. In the event of cancellation, the following conditions apply: If you cancel more than 60 days before departure, you will receive a full refund minus the deposit. If you cancel between 60 and 30 days before departure, you will receive a 50% refund of the total amount. If you cancel less than 30 days before departure, you will not receive a refund.

What about travel documents and health:

Passport: Ensure your passport is valid for at least one month after your arrival date in the Maldives. Also, check that it is in good condition and free of damage.
Visa: Upon arrival, you will receive a free 30-day tourist visa, provided you are visiting the Maldives as a tourist.
Health: It is advisable to check the recommended vaccinations at least 8 weeks before departure. Common recommendations include hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, and, depending on your activities, possibly rabies.
COVID-19: Currently, there are no testing or vaccination requirements to enter the Maldives. However, we recommend checking the latest travel advisories before departure to ensure you are well-prepared for your trip.

Can I meet my travel companions before the trip?

Yes, you have the opportunity to meet your fellow travelers before the trip begins. For each journey, we create a dedicated WhatsApp group where you can connect, chat, and plan your adventure together. It’s a fun and convenient way to make new friends even before the trip starts!

What do I have to do after I land?

From the moment you land, we take care of everything. Upon exiting the airport, you’ll be greeted by our representative with a sign. A speedboat will be ready to take you and your group to Dhiffushi. At the end of your stay, the same speedboat will bring you back to the airport. During your trip, this speedboat will also be used for organized excursions, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Who is my guide?

During your stay, you’ll be accompanied by an experienced, Dutch and English-speaking guide who knows Dhiffushi and its surroundings inside out. They will ensure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible and are always available to answer questions or assist with any requests.

What is the minimum number of people required for the trip to proceed?

A minimum of 6 participants is required for the trip to proceed. This number ensures a fun and lively group dynamic while keeping the adventure personal and accessible for everyone. This way, the trip remains intimate enough to share unique experiences but also energetic enough to create an unforgettable atmosphere!

What do I have to bring to the Maldives?

We recommend packing lightweight clothing (for women: bring more covering clothing for when you leave the beach), swimwear, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, sandals, a universal adapter, and a small travel first-aid kit. For women, we also suggest bringing personal hygiene products, as these may not always be easily available on the island.
Additionally, don’t forget your travel documents (such as your passport and flight tickets).

What if I am vegetarian/vegan or have other dietary preferences?

Are you vegetarian, vegan, or do you have specific allergies? No worries – there are plenty of options for you too. Just let us know in advance before your departure so we can take this into account and tailor your trip perfectly to your needs.

What currency is used in the Maldives?

The official currency in the Maldives is the Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR), but the US Dollar (USD) is also widely accepted. You can pay with both currencies during your stay. However, we recommend bringing some local currency to exchange, especially for smaller purchases. There is also an ATM available on Dhiffushi, so you can withdraw money if needed.

What is the weather like in the Maldives?

We plan our trips during periods when the weather in the Maldives is generally most favorable: the dry season. This usually means plenty of sunshine, little rain, and temperatures ranging from 30°C during the day to a minimum of 25°C at night. The water temperature typically stays between 26 and 28°C. However, keep in mind that the weather can be unpredictable, partly due to the effects of climate change.
