WEATHER:

If the Captain determines that Ocean or weather conditions are severe enough to cancel a tour, we will do our best to reschedule you. If that is not possible you will be refunded. Fortunately, Kona has the best weather in the state so that does not happen often.

NO MANTAS OR DOLPHINS POLICY:

We do NOT guarantee Mantas, Dolphins or Whales. While we see them 85-90% of the time , they are wild animals and their appearance is beyond our control. However, if space is available we will try to bring you out again on your visit. No Refunds will be given…No Exceptions.
