Plan & Prepare
How hard is each trip, how to get ready, what to pack, and the travel essentials — all in one place.
The Kineo Effort Scale
Every trip shows its level, plus typical daily distance, elevation and hours, so you know exactly what you're signing up for.
1
Gentle activity for a few hours a day. Suits anyone in everyday good health.
2
Regular activity with some sustained effort. Good if you walk, swim or ride weekly.
3
Moving for most of the day. You'll want a solid base of fitness.
4
Long days with real distance or elevation. Plan to train before you travel.
5
Sustained hard effort over several days. Prior experience required.

Travel essentials
Requirements depend on your nationality and destination. The Maldives offers a free 30-day tourist visa on arrival for most visitors. Always check the official government website before you book, and make sure your passport is valid for at least six months.
Comprehensive travel insurance is required on every Kineo trip. Make sure it covers your activity (for example, freediving depth or high-altitude trekking), medical evacuation and cancellation.
Speak to your doctor or a travel clinic about vaccinations and fitness for your trip. Freediving guests complete a medical declaration before the course.
International flights aren't included. Book flights that arrive before the trip's start time; we'll send arrival details and transfer information with your trip notes.
Our trip experts are happy to help you choose the right level and get ready.
