In these cases, it will not be possible to request that the guide wait, arrange another meeting point, or join the tour after the activities have started.
▶ Rain does not constitute a cancellation condition
The occurrence of rain does not constitute a cancellation condition. Thailand has a tropical climate, and it is common for quick rains to occur throughout the day, especially during the monsoon season. Tours continue to operate normally in case of rain, as long as safety conditions allow.
▶ Maritime Tours
Maritime operations follow exclusively the daily assessments of the Thai Navy, which is responsible for issuing official guidance on navigation, safety, and sea stability. Only in the case of a formal alert of adverse maritime conditions may the tour be suspended, altered, or rescheduled.
The occurrence of rain at the hotel, in the departure city, or during part of the journey does not necessarily mean that the tour will be canceled. Weather conditions can vary significantly between regions, islands, and maritime areas.
Tours are subject to the operational and safety conditions defined by the local operator responsible for the activity. In case of changes, interruptions, or non-continuation of the tour, the applicable guidance and procedures will be communicated directly by the responsible team on-site.
If there is an official determination that prevents the departure of vessels, our team will contact you to inform the applicable procedures. In case of cancellation by the operator (e.g., operational issues or force majeure), a full refund or rescheduling at no additional cost will be offered.
People with mobility limitations must inform us in advance before booking. Some boat tours may not be recommended or permitted, according to the rules and operational conditions of the companies responsible for navigation and boarding.
For safety reasons and according to the rules of local operators, pregnant women and people over 70 years old cannot participate in tours conducted on speedboats.
▶ Holiday Dates and Refund Conditions
New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year, and Lantern Festival do not have refunds, even in the case of full payment.
Other dates may be included according to the local calendar. In cases that fall under these exceptions, there will be no refund.
Additionally, attractions, temples, monuments, parks, and visitation areas may have access limited, suspended, or altered by local authorities without prior notice due to religious ceremonies, official events, celebrations, visits from authorities, weather conditions, or other occurrences beyond the agency's control.
In these situations, our team may make adjustments to the itinerary, change the order of visits, or propose compatible alternatives, always seeking to preserve the best possible experience for participants.
▶ Participant Conduct
The company reserves the right to remove from the tour any participant who exhibits inappropriate, offensive, aggressive behavior, jeopardizes the safety of the group, or fails to comply with the team's guidance. In these cases, there will be no refund of the amounts paid.
