Frequently Asked Questions
Can dietary requirements or allergies be accommodated?
Dietary requirements and allergies can be accommodated if communicated in advance. We do not serve beef or imported seafood. All food served on board is Halal. Gluten-free options can be provided, but fully gluten-free products are difficult to source in the Maldives, so items like pasta, flour, and bread may not have exact replacements. We recommend that guests anticipate a simpler menu than they may be used to at home.
Is there Wi-Fi on board / can I stay in touch with people back home?
There is limited Wi-Fi available on board the vessel. Mobile phone use is possible, but roaming charges can be high. For internet access, we recommend purchasing an international SIM card, eSIM, or a local SIM at the airport prior to boarding. Please note that internet connectivity is dependent on local network coverage from nearby islands. While anchored or near inhabited islands, you will be able to connect, but during crossings between atolls.
Do I need to be an experienced swimmer for snorkeling?
You should be comfortable and confident in the water, but no SCUBA certification is required. Life jackets and buoyancy aids are provided, and our expert tour leaders monitor safety at all times. The Maldives can experience strong currents, even on the calmest of days and currents may change during a snorkeling activity. It is always possible we may encounter the occasional day of rough seas, and therefore an ability to swim unaided is essential.
How fit do I need to be for an expedition cruise?
Snorkeling trips usually last around 45 minutes, with options to exit earlier if needed. Access to the boat involves climbing a ladder from the water. The cruise is physical, with lots of swimming and snorkeling, exit from the water and back onto the boat involves a boat ladder and we also cross between our 'home' base Akoya Pearl and our dhoni regularly throughout the day. A good level of physical fitness is required.
Do I need to bring my own snorkeling equipment?
Personal snorkeling equipment is recommended. There is limited free snorkeling equipment on board, and we can arrange rental equipment for you in advance if needed. By bringing along your own mask and snorkel, you be assured your mask fits your face properly and is comfortable and less likely to have leakage, it will also lower any health associated risks.
