Reservation, Cancellation & Weather Policy
• We recommend booking at least 24-48 hours in advance to ensure the tour/space is available.
• We cannot guarantee any online booking request with less than 24 hour notice.
• Reservations require full payment in advance.
• Refunds are given with 48 hours notice prior to event, or if we cancel for any reason. We do not refund for no shows or lateness.
• Private group reservations require 7 days notice for a full refund.
• Our tours and classes have small group sizes. We have held your space and turned away others so please do not ask for exceptions.
•We do not cancel for light rain, overcast skies or cool temperatures, as long as winds and seas are calm. This is the best time for wildlife watching! Dense fog is temporary and may postpone launching. Strong wind is the most frequent reason we cancel, even on warm, sunny days. Coastal winds are very localized and can increase/change directions quickly.
• Typically, early morning and late afternoon are the calmest time of day to be on the water.
• Rain/storm forecasts and actual conditions can vary widely, even between our two locations! If you are concerned about your reservation, call us a few hours before for a better idea of how local conditions might affect your trip.
