What is the cancellation policy?

The cancellation policy allows for a full refund if you cancel at least two hours before your visit. If you cancel within two hours of the scheduled visit, the ticket becomes non-refundable. This applies to all ticket types, including the Standard Package and those with additional activities like parasailing or jetskiing. To ensure a smooth process, it's advisable to check your plans and cancel in advance if necessary. Refunds are processed within the cut-off time specified.

What is included in the ticket?

Each ticket includes hotel transfer, boat transportation, tariff fee, island entrance fee, lunch, a tour guide, and snorkeling equipment. However, it does not cover personal travel insurance or any water sports activities unless specified in the package. For example, the Standard Package + Banana Boat includes the same basic amenities but adds the banana boat ride. Be sure to check the specific package details for any additional inclusions.

How is the ticket delivered and used?

Tickets are delivered as a QR code, which you will need to present on the day of your excursion. You must book for a specific date, but no timeslot is chosen.

If you need to reschedule, contact the provided email at least two days before your visit to make the necessary arrangements.

Who can participate in the excursion?

Each ticket type specifies the age ranges for adults and children, ensuring that families can find appropriate options for their group. Children must be accompanied by an adult during the excursion. It's a great opportunity for families to enjoy a day of fun and relaxation together on the islands.

How far in advance should I book?

You should book your excursion at least 24 hours in advance for the Standard Package and at least 48 hours ahead for packages that include additional activities like parasailing or jetskiing. This advance booking helps secure your preferred activities and ensures availability. It's recommended to plan ahead, especially during peak travel seasons, to avoid disappointment.

What should I bring for the trip?

Visitors are advised to bring sunscreen and a hat to protect themselves from the sun, as well as comfortable swimwear and water shoes for beach activities. It's also a good idea to check the weather forecast before your trip to ensure the best experience.
