FAQs
What if the borders close again?
Guests can cancel and get a full refund (less $25 cancellation fee) up to a week before the tour. Alternatively a credit note can be offered with a duration of 2 years.
What precautions are you taking on your tours?
We ask guests who have been COVID showing signs and symptoms, like a dry cough, to refrain from joining the tour. We offer hand sanitiser and tissues on our vessels, frequently clean down surfaces and disinfect all snorkel equipment at the end of each day. Our tours are conducted 99% outside in the fresh air and salt water, an environment known to limit the spread of the virus. We have all guests details on file for contact tracing if necessary but we have not yet had to use this and sincerely hope in 2021 we will not have to.
