Good to know
Know before you go
Strollers can come with you and infants sit on an adult's lap. The cruise accepts all fitness levels. It isn't recommended during pregnancy, even though the boat has a restroom and the swimming stops are separate parts of the outing.
Lunch is excluded from your booking. Nachos with salsa and seasonal fruit are the light snacks aboard. Plan a meal before your pickup if your group won't be comfortable spending the cruise with snacks alone.
Hotel collection is arranged before the boat's departure, with a 50-minute pickup window. You can also meet at Plaza Bibijagua. Your exact meeting point and time need arranging with Happy Fish, whichever way you get there.
One booking takes up to 14 travelers on this private cruise. Booking acceptance is instant and you get a mobile-only ticket. It doesn't settle the hotel collection details, so keep those arrangements with your ticket for the day.
This cruise has a weather cancellation condition. The captain chooses the slide anchorage during the outing. A particular patch of sea isn't a fixed part of your booking, even when the planned sequence includes all the swimming stops.
Cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure for a full refund. Your own cancellation after that point isn't refunded. Check that everyone can make the selected sailing before letting that deadline pass.
