How to Book:
Experiences are subject to availability and they do get booked out. When you have decided on a package or experience you would like, we will confirm availability and then send you a booking confirmation.
Your booking is only secured once a booking confirmation email has been issued and a deposit has been paid. The deposit is normally $200-$800 (depending on the package) to secure your booking. Some packages and experiences require a larger deposit. Please refer to the price guides for clarification. The deposit and any payment instalments are deducted from the total due 10 days before the event.

No additional guests can be added after the balance deadline. Please understand we have deadlines to adhere to with a large network of suppliers and payment terms.
Bonds:
A $500 bond is required for boats. This is due at the same time as your balance and will be refunded after the cruise if no damage occurs.
