FAQ
Have a question in your head? We are here to provide assistance. Select a question below to find your answer.
Q: What should I wear and bring along when joining your cruise?
A: Wear something comfortable and pack your swimsuit, towel, sunblock and sunglasses. Make sure you bring your sense of adventure and a camera to capture the breathtaking scenery.
Q: What if it rains?
A: The exotic showers in South East Asia tend to quickly pass, and admired from underneath a canopy, the sight of raindrops drawing circles on the water surface has its very own appeal. So most of the time, we will embark as planned. With safety being our highest priority, we will cancel a trip on a stormy day or in case we are experiencing technical challenges. Under these circumstances, you will be offered an alternative day for your cruise. Should it be your preference, your payment will be refunded.
Q: Where is the meeting point and when should I arrive?
A: We offer a pick-up service from your resort. Please make sure you are at the resort entrance at the agreed time. In case you use your own transportation, please arrive minimum 30 min prior to the scheduled cruise time. We depart from Resort World (formally known as Awana Porto Malai), located at the south coast of Langkawi, just a few minutes drive from Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah. The meeting point is at the Fun and Adventure Center near the jetty point. You can park your car at the front of the resort and walk around the right hand side of the main building to where the cruise office is. This Google Map will show you where the resort is.
Q: What if I am late?
A: To save yourself unnecessary stress and costs, please try to be on time. Should you be late, we can arrange a taxi to pick you up and a speedboat to catch up with the yacht. However, there will be extra charges for the taxi and an added fee of RM100 -150 for the speedboat transfer.
Q: Can you accommodate special dietary needs?
A: All our food is halal! Should you be a vegetarian, suffer from seafood or nut allergy or experience any other food intolerances, please notify us upon booking. We will be delighted to make the necessary arrangements. Thanks to the variety of dishes served, you will most likely find some of your favorites even if you fail to inform us.
