Customers will receive a full refund or credit with 48 hours notice of cancellation. Less than 48 hours notice or no-show will result in the full price being charged.

Please contact us by phone, email, or text message to cancel or inquire about a cancellation.

Disclaimer

We use a small boat with fast speeds that can hit occasional bumps on the ocean, therefore we do not recommend our tours for people with back or neck problems. Pregnant women please consult with your physician before participating. Please no children under the age of 5. All children 12 and under are required to wear a life-jacket. Oceanic Eco Tours will provide a Type I Coast Guard Approved PFD. Children may bring and wear a different life-jacket if preferred. Additionally, an approximately 1-foot step down is necessary to board the boat, so we do not allow passengers who need assistance. Please call with any questions.

A liability waiver and release agreement must be signed before departure.
