FAQ

A tailored day‑by‑day route, optimal transfer timings, 2–3 homestay/resort options per stop with pros/cons, vetted boat contacts, a supplier contact list with booking links, estimated budget ranges, a packing/safety checklist, and a custom Google Map—ready to book.

You complete the discovery form, book a free 20‑minute call, and we confirm scope, price, and timeline. If you proceed, you receive a 50% deposit invoice; I deliver your plan in 5–7 days (DIY) or 10–14 days (Group/Agency). You handle all reservations with my vetted contacts.

DIY Blueprint: 5–7 business days. Group/Agency Pack: 10–14 business days. Rush options are available on request.

DIY Blueprint: USD $99–$499 depending on length and complexity (7–21 days). Group/Agency Pack: USD $499–$2,999 depending on group size/complexity.

No. I do not take commissions. Recommendations are based on on‑the‑ground checks and traveler outcomes.

Yes—optional booking management is available for an extra fee (quoted after intake). By default, you book and pay suppliers directly using my links and contacts.

It depends by sub‑region (micro‑seasonality). Your plan accounts for wind/swell patterns and visibility in areas like Dampier Strait, Waigeo/Mayalibit, Fam, Misool, and Batanta to place you in the right region at the right time.

Homestays offer a local, lower‑cost experience with simpler amenities; resorts add comfort, power reliability, and services. Your plan includes 2–3 options per stop with clear pros/cons so you can choose confidently.

Liveaboards maximize site access and time in the water but have fixed routes and higher costs. Land‑based itineraries offer flexibility, local stays, and easier budget control. I’ll outline the trade‑offs for your goals and season.

Your plan includes workable ferry/public boat/charter chains with realistic buffers, so you avoid missed connections. I’ll specify exact timings and vetted boat contacts.

I prioritize operators with reliable equipment, radios, fuel/spares, and sea‑state-appropriate vessels. Your plan flags when crossings are weather‑sensitive and includes contingency options.

It depends on sites and conditions. The form asks about certifications and recent dives; your itinerary matches sites to your level and sea‑state tolerance. Dive insurance is strongly recommended.

 Yes. I design mixed itineraries for divers, snorkelers, photographers, and non‑divers, balancing sites, transfers, and comfort.

It varies by homestay vs resort, private boats vs shared, and season. Your plan includes budget ranges per segment and total, with direct booking links so you see real prices.

I don’t sell permits. Your plan tells you where and how to purchase the marine park entry (and when it’s checked), plus any current fees.

Your plan includes a packing/safety checklist tailored to your route: soft duffels, dry bags, headlamp, reef‑safe essentials, charging strategy, cash guidance, and SIM/internet notes.

Usually yes. Mention your deadline in the form; I’ll confirm feasibility on the call and quote a rush fee if needed.

The 50% deposit is invoiced after our call and scope confirmation. It’s refundable (minus fees) only if you cancel before work begins; non‑refundable once work starts. If I can’t meet the agreed window and you decline a revised date, the deposit is refunded in full.

You’ll be redirected to book a free 20‑minute Calendly call. I review your form beforehand so we can confirm scope, timeline, and price efficiently.

50% deposit after the call (if you proceed), 50% balance on delivery before final files. Payments in USD or EUR via Stripe or Wise. Business name: itinerariesAI Getilli (Oslo, Norway).

Yes. The Group/Agency Pack is white‑labeled and includes brandable PDFs, booking SOPs, emergency checklists, contingency day plans, and a 60‑minute training call.

The core service is planning‑only. Light support for clarifications is available by email; ongoing trip support can be arranged as an add‑on if needed.

Your plan includes conservative buffers and contingency day options. Safety comes first—I’ll outline alternatives suited to the forecast and your comfort level.

 I provide services in English. If you need another language, mention it in the form and I’ll confirm availability.

Yes. See the Privacy Policy for how we handle your data. I don’t sell personal data and use reputable processors (Calendly, Stripe/Wise, email/SMTP, analytics).
