Your Quest Log

A record of the journey, not a scoreboard

Every quest you complete becomes a page in your personal Quest Log: your photographs, your guide’s verification and realm stamp, and the things you discovered, kept as the story of where you went.

No points table, no rankings. Just your journey, properly recorded.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are Explorer quests really free?

Yes. Ocean Realms does not charge to unlock or complete an Explorer quest. Your accommodation, transfers and any third-party services are priced separately as part of your journey.

What do Adventure and Legendary quests include?

They are optional paid add-ons that may include the excursion, equipment, transport, a licensed guide, a quest briefing, verification, a Quest Log stamp, a digital badge and a memory card. Each quest lists what is included before you book.

Is this a competition?

No. Quests are personal achievements. There are no leaderboards, no rankings against other guests and no pressure to finish anything faster.

Can I combine realms?

Yes. Many journeys mix a few nights on a local island with a resort or a liveaboard. Choose “A mix” in the quiz or the enquiry form and we will suggest a route.

What happens if a Legendary quest cannot go ahead?

Legendary quests depend on weather, season and licensed partners, and wildlife is never guaranteed. If one cannot run, we offer to reschedule it, swap it for an equivalent quest, give quest credit or refund it under the cancellation policy.

When is the best time to visit the Maldives?

The Maldives has two monsoon seasons. The north-east monsoon, roughly December to April, is usually drier with calmer seas. The south-west monsoon, roughly May to November, brings more rain and wind, but also some of the best manta and pelagic diving, and often lower prices.
