The rates shown on our website are in US dollars, which will be converted to your local currency according to the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.

The deposit/payment is non-refundable unless the tour/excursion is canceled by us due to severe weather conditions or unforeseen problems. All other cancelations forfeit the deposit/payment. In the case if the weather is predicted in our official weather reports that we receive to be severe (for example: winds not permitting sailing, hurricane, etc.), our team will contact you and offer possible alternatives. This is tropical weather so the weather report is not always 100% accurate and there may be some unforeseen rain in the day. This will not be a problem for us and is not considered as severe weather and we will operate as normal.
