Frequently Asked Questions

What if bad weather cancels the tour?

If we need to cancel the tour due to weather or safety concerns, you’ll have the option to reschedule or receive a full refund, regardless of whether you opted for the Money-Back Guarantee.

How often are dolphins spotted on tours?

We pride ourselves on a high success rate for dolphin sightings, thanks to our knowledgeable crew and their understanding of local dolphin behaviour. However, as we operate in the wild, we cannot provide a 100% guarantee.

Will I definitely see dolphins on the tour?

While dolphins are highly likely to be spotted during the tour, sightings are not guaranteed as they are wild animals in their natural habitat. However, our experienced guides use their expertise to maximise your chances of an unforgettable encounter.

What is the “Money-Back Guarantee" option?

The Money-Back Guarantee is an optional add-on for your booking. If you choose this option and we don’t spot any dolphins during your tour, you’ll receive a full refund of your tour cost. It’s a small extra fee for peace of mind!

How can I add the Money-Back Guarantee to my booking?

When booking your tour, simply select the Money-Back Guarantee option before completing your purchase.

Are there other guarantees included in the tour price?

The base tour price includes the full experience with our skilled crew, safety equipment, and guidance. The Money-Back Guarantee is an optional extra for those who want added assurance of seeing dolphins.

Is the Money-Back Guarantee transferable to another tour?

Absolutely, the Money-Back Guarantee means you will receive a full refund and therefore this can be used towards another tour.

What happens if I don’t choose the Money-Back Guarantee and no dolphins are spotted?

Without the Money-Back Guarantee, we cannot offer a refund if dolphins are not seen.
