The things travellers ask us most. Can't find yours? Our trip experts reply within one working day.

Choosing a trip

How do I know which trip suits my fitness?

Every trip is rated on the 5-level Kineo Effort Scale, with typical daily distance, elevation and hours. If you're unsure, tell us about your current activity and we'll recommend a level.

How big are the groups?

Most departures have 8–12 guests, so everyone gets attention from the guides and coaches.

Can I travel solo?

Yes. Many of our guests travel on their own and enjoy meeting like-minded people on the trip. Ask us about solo-friendly departures.

Booking and payment

How do I book?

Choose a trip and departure date, then send an enquiry or contact a trip expert. We'll confirm availability, answer your questions and send booking details.

What's included in the price?

Each trip page lists exactly what is and isn't included. As a rule, accommodation, guiding or coaching, activities and in-trip transport are included; international flights and travel insurance are not.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please see our booking terms for full details on deposits, payments and cancellations.

Blue Academy

Do I need experience for freediving?

No. Beginner courses start from zero; you just need to be comfortable in the water and complete a medical declaration.

Where does the Blue Academy run?

The Kineo Blue Academy runs only in the Maldives. See the Blue Academy page for disciplines, seasons and dates.

Travel and safety

Do I need travel insurance?

Yes. Comprehensive travel insurance that covers your activity, medical evacuation and cancellation is required on every trip.

How do you keep guests safe?

Qualified guides and coaches, small groups, daily conditions briefings, and safety cover suited to each activity, from kayak escorts on swims to a safety freediver on every line.
