Alternatively, if boat availability and your travel schedule permit, the tour may be rescheduled to another available date at no additional charge.

If the tour has already started or is in progress, a partial refund of the unused portion or the difference in services may be offered, depending on the circumstances and the policy of the boat operator.

4. Changes to Group Size

A change in the number of travelers is not considered a cancellation.

If the group size changes, the tour price will be recalculated based on the new number of travelers.

As we specialize in private tours, the price per person may change depending on the group size:

If additional travelers join the group, the price per person may decrease.

If the number of travelers decreases, the price per person may increase.

Any revised price will be confirmed with the customer before the tour takes place.
