Price, Cancellation and No Sightings Information
-
The Eco-Savings Safari prices apply to this trip only. They cannot be applied to any other cruise, including but not limited to our Signature Safari and Zodiac Safari.
Sorry, no other discounts or special offers can be applied to the Eco-Savings Safari.
-
Our Eco-Savings Safari is non-cancelable, non-refundable, and non-changeable.
-
This special $26.26 promotional trip is intended for individual guests and small groups only. Group bookings of more than 10 guests are not permitted, including but not limited to school groups, camps, youth organizations, corporate groups, homeschool groups, or organized outings.
Multiple reservations made under the same name, email address, phone number, payment method, or organization will be considered a single group, regardless of ticket type. Reservations found to be circumventing this policy may be canceled at our discretion.
-
Our Eco-Savings Safari will go out rain or shine. In the event of unplanned non-operation due to technical issues, unsafe ocean conditions, or any other unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right to cancel the cruise. Should we cancel the Eco-Savings Safari, you will have three options:
- RESCHEDULE: In the event of cruise cancellation, you may reschedule to another Eco-Savings Safari date at no additional cost.
If you choose to reschedule to our Signature or Zodiac Safari on another date, then you must pay the full price of the cruise, less the ticket price of the Eco-Savings Safari already paid. - CREDIT: In the event of cruise cancellation, you may receive a credit in the form of a Captain Dave’s e-gift card. The gift card will be in an amount equivalent to the ticket price of the Eco-Savings Safari plus any optional gratuity you may have added when booking. The gift card can be applied towards another cruise with us. You will be responsible for paying any price difference between the amount on your gift card and the cost of the cruise.
- REFUND: In the event we cancel the cruise, you can opt to receive a full refund to the original payment method.
- RESCHEDULE: In the event of cruise cancellation, you may reschedule to another Eco-Savings Safari date at no additional cost.
-
Although we locate whales or dolphins on over 95% of our trips, sightings can never be guaranteed, as these are wild animals in their natural ocean environment.
In the rare event that no whales and no dolphins are sighted, you will receive a No Sightings Voucher(s) equivalent to the value of your tickets ($26.26).
The voucher(s) can be applied to a future Eco-Savings Safari and are valid for one year from the date of your trip. If you choose to apply the No Sightings Vouchers to a Signature or Zodiac Safari, you will be responsible for paying the price difference between the amount of your voucher(s) and the price of the Signature or Zodiac Safari.
Because the safari takes place as scheduled, refunds are not issued for no-sightings trips.
No-sightings vouchers are non-transferable and may only be used by the guests who were aboard the original safari.
