How it works
What happens when you write.
One person looks after your journey, from the first reply until you are home. This is what happens, in order.
How we workYou send a few lines
When, who is travelling, and the kind of trip — a resort or an island. If you are unsure of something, say so.
We reply with options
Within a day: two or three choices for your brief, each with the reason it fits — then a written proposal with an itemised price.
Nothing is booked until you accept
An enquiry commits you to nothing. A journey is confirmed only when you accept the proposal and pay its deposit.
From the Journal
Field notes.
When the sea turns glass.
A short note on the dry and the wet months — and what each season holds for the kind of quiet you are after.
Seaplane or speedboat.
A short guide to Maldives transfers — what each costs, when each makes sense, and the small calculation that decides.
