Disclaimer - Please be aware that - ALL Activities & Tour companies apply a 100% cancellation fee for bookings that are cancelled by YOU within 48 hours of the agreed & booked date/time slot

CANCELLATION policy for ALL BOAT trips and ALL Activities  - Tours must be cancelled at least 48 hrs before tour departure time. If the client cancels less than 48 hrs before tour departure time, a 100% cancellation fee applies. If the client does not arrive for their tour (a 'no show'), a 100% cancellation fee applies. Thorough weather checks are done prior to any trip. If bad weather prevents us from proceeding with a trip on any particular day, clients are informed and an alternative date is negotiated or an entire refund is given. If strong winds pick up while out at sea and a return to shore is required for the safety of passengers and crew, a refund is not applicable, but we will graciously offer a Voucher for a free trip. Remember, we are dealing with wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. Refunds are therefore not considered in the event of non-sightings, however, a second tour is offered free of charge. Due to variable weather conditions and shark activity, diving may not always be possible and is therefore not guaranteed. The boat tour we offer consists of approx 4 hours at sea. Time-related itineraries and collection times are dependent on tides, weather conditions and the amount of tours scheduled for a particular day. Exact collection times are therefore only available after 16.00pm the day prior to the tour, and may vary between 04.30am and 11.30am daily. If our vessel is out of the water for a certain period (for maintenance or any other reason), we will continue to run tours by chartering another vessel (also totally registered boat / operator) - thank you.
