  • By booking, you agree to our T&Cs (found on our website). You confirm you have travel insurance and fully release the company from all liability for accidents, injuries, or medical costs. Guests must independently arrange transit to the meeting point and assume sole responsibility for their physical state, belongings, alcohol consumption, situational awareness, and conduct—accepting full financial liability for any damages. Swimming and snorkeling are strictly optional and must only be done by capable swimmers; by entering the water, you confirm you possess the necessary skills, understand open-water risks, and assume responsibility. Speedboat rides can be bumpy due to open sea conditions, making them unsuitable for infants, pregnant women, or those with tension or mobility issues; participation is at your own risk. The company is not liable for the actions of other participants or third parties. Engaging with third-party vendors violates safety protocols, causing immediate forfeiture of all further service.
