We confirm the exact meeting point and time the evening before. Please arrive 10 minutes early. What happens if we don’t see whales? We focus on the best lagoon experiences (turtles, coral gardens, rays/wreck) to ensure a memorable day. Is the tour suitable for nervous swimmers? Yes—no pressure to enter the water.
