No Show Policy Ecotour

Tours are nature-based and rely on the appearance of wildlife. While every effort is made to locate the sightings of wildlife, whale sharks, Manta Rays, humpback whales, and other marine life, there will naturally be days in the season when no whale sharks or wildlife will be sighted. This by no means is a common occurrence, as the high numbers of wildlife in the area and the use of a spotter plane to locate them reduce the chance of not seeing them or other marine wildlife.
