Absolutely! We specialize in crafting personalized Lakshadweep experiences. Whether you want a quiet island getaway or an adventure-packed itinerary, our local experts will tailor the trip to suit your preferences, interests, and budget.
Lakshadweep has limited accommodation and travel slots due to its protected ecosystem. We recommend booking at least 2-4 months in advance, especially during the peak travel season (October to March). Last-minute bookings may be possible depending on availability.
Our packages usually include inter-island transfers and accommodations. Flights or ship tickets from the mainland (like Kochi) can be arranged on request. We're happy to assist with booking your transportation to ensure a smooth travel experience.
We understand that plans can change. Our cancellation policy depends on the notice period and the nature of bookings (especially ship/ferry schedules). Cancellations made 30+ days in advance are generally eligible for partial refunds. Travel insurance is strongly recommended for extra protection.
Yes, all non-islander visitors, including Indian citizens, require an entry permit to visit Lakshadweep. We handle the permit process for you. Foreign nationals can only visit select islands and require additional clearances. We'll guide you through it all.
Your safety is our top concern. We work with trusted local partners and provide emergency contact support throughout your trip. Our guides are familiar with island conditions, and we ensure all activities, including boat trips and water sports, meet safety standards.
The best time to visit is between October and March when the weather is pleasant and perfect for water activities. The monsoon season (June to September) can affect travel plans due to rough seas. April and May are hot but good for underwater visibility.
Lakshadweep offers various water activities including scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, glass-bottom boat rides, sport fishing, and swimming. All activities are conducted under professional supervision with proper safety equipment.
Accommodation options range from comfortable resorts to guest houses. Most properties offer air-conditioned rooms with modern amenities while maintaining the islands' eco-friendly principles. Options vary by island, and we'll help you choose the best fit.
Internet connectivity varies by location. Most resorts offer Wi-Fi in common areas, though speeds may be limited. Mobile networks work on major islands, but coverage can be spotty on smaller ones. We recommend informing your loved ones about potential limited connectivity.
Pack light, breathable clothing, swimwear, sun protection (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses), and comfortable walking shoes. Don't forget any personal medications, as pharmacy options are limited on the islands. We'll provide a detailed packing list before your trip.
Lakshadweep is a conservative Muslim region. We recommend modest dress, especially when visiting villages or religious sites. Alcohol is prohibited on most islands. Photography may be restricted in certain areas. Our guides will help you navigate local customs respectfully.
Yes, we can accommodate various dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, and halal options. The local cuisine features fresh seafood and coconut-based dishes. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions when booking so we can make appropriate arrangements.
Each inhabited island has a basic medical center. For serious medical issues, evacuation to mainland hospitals may be necessary. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical emergencies and evacuations. Bring any prescribed medications you need.
Inter-island transport is primarily by speed boats and ferries. Schedules depend on weather conditions and availability. We coordinate all inter-island transfers as part of your package to ensure smooth transitions between destinations.
Yes, we offer multi-island packages. However, the number of islands you can visit depends on your trip duration and permit restrictions. We'll help you plan an itinerary that maximizes your island experience while considering travel logistics.
