Can I ask the single price please

For any of the yacht based trips (or local living), the single price would be about double the cost since you would want the whole cabin (the pricing is based on shared cabin and essentially if you don't want to share you would then have to pay for the whole cabin versus sharing).

What is the expected tip for the crew? What are the other costs?

It is customary in Asia to tip service providers such as waiters, at approximately 10%. At the end of your tour if you felt your G Adventures CEO and crew did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference; however a guideline of USD10-15 per CEO/crew member, per week is recommended (or USD50-75 total). Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 as an 'emergency' fund. Allow USD35-45 for meals not included.

What are the best months to travel to the Maldives?

The ideal time to visit Maldives is from November to April, when the weather is typically the best.

Are there vegetarian or vegan meal options available during the tour?

Vegetarian and vegan meals can be accommodated if informed at least two weeks before departure.

Are all the berths bunk beds or do you have some twin beds and ensuite berths? Please advise if 76 would be acceptable for starters.

Four en suite cabins with bunk beds. Two en suite cabins with double beds and separate single beds. One en suite cabin with a double bed.

How many people can be accommodated in the cabins?

All cabins are twin share only. Each cabin can accommodate two travelers but has a bunkbed setup in some.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

If your flight is delayed and you arrive after the tour start time, you may have to arrange alternate transportation to meet the group.

Can you advise if there will be alcohol available on the 7 days Maldives Dhoni Explorer. Also are vegan/plant based meals available?

Water & Tea and coffee re provided. Alcohol can be purchased on board. Vegetarian and Vegan meals can be accommodated, but must be advised at least 2 weeks prior to departure

What are the visa requirements for the Maldives?

Visa requirements vary by nationality. It's recommended to check your country's embassy website for specific entry requirements.

Is there a single supplement for solo travelers?

Yes, solo travelers are required to book the entire cabin to avoid paying for double occupancy.

Saw the Maldives in a way you can't sitting in a resort (we did both). Highly recommend to anyone who is willing to trade a plush hotel for a truly unique experience.
