Extend your stay in Truk Lagoon
Hand-picked hotels for before or after your Truk Lagoon liveaboard trip - a night in Chuuk close to the airport and your departure, plus a Yap diving extension to dive with the resident manta rays.
Why extend your stay
Turn an incredible diving holiday into a truly inspirational experience.
Whether you are travelling a few hours or halfway around the world for your liveaboard adventure with Master Liveaboards, taking extra time to experience each unique destination can enhance your trip and transform an incredible diving holiday into a truly inspirational experience.
Staying on after your cruise lets you experience the destination beyond the ocean. Discover vibrant cities, remote islands, cultural landmarks, wildlife, beaches, and hidden gems that make each region unique. Whether you choose a few extra days of relaxation or a week of exploration, extending your stay creates a richer and more rewarding holiday.
Arriving a day early gives you time to relax, recover from travel, and start your journey refreshed and stress-free. You can explore local culture, enjoy regional cuisine, and settle into the destination before boarding your liveaboard adventure.
A liveaboard may be the highlight of your trip, but the destination itself has so much more to offer. Add a few extra nights and turn your diving holiday into the ultimate travel experience.

Common questions
Good questions, straight answers.
Everything you need to know about adding a hotel stay to your liveaboard trip.
Do you book the hotel for me?
+Yes. Once you choose a hotel and confirm the dates, our reservations team handles the booking directly. You do not need to book separately through a third-party site. We work with these hotels regularly and can often secure better terms than booking independently.
What about airport and liveaboard transfers?
+In the Maldives we arrange your transfer from the airport to your hotel and from the hotel to the liveaboard departure point. Several of the hotels listed also include their own complimentary airport transfers. Onward arrangements (resort speedboats, return flights) we'll talk through when we confirm your booking.
Can I book a hotel at both ends of my trip?
+Absolutely. Many of our guests book a one-night stay before departure and a few nights at a resort afterwards. Just let us know your plans and we will put together a complete package. You can mix and match different hotels for before and after.
Can I change or cancel my hotel booking?
+Cancellation and amendment policies vary by hotel. We will confirm the specific terms when we send you the quote. In most cases there is a free cancellation window. If your liveaboard trip changes, we will help you adjust the hotel booking to match.
What if my flight is delayed?
+All of the hotels we suggest have 24-hour front desks and are accustomed to late arrivals. If your flight is significantly delayed, let us know and we will notify the hotel on your behalf. This is one of the advantages of booking through us rather than independently.
