It is not allowed to bring pets on board in general. In case of a small size pet please call us directly and we will try to accomodate you.

Do you have toilets onboard?

Meeting point

How do I know where to meet for my boat tour?

Once the booking is confirmed on the website, you will receive a voucher with the meeting time and place. Within each tour page it is always specified whether the hotel pick-up is included or not.

What time should I arrive at the meeting point?

We suggest you arrive at the meeting point at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time.

It is the responsibility of the customers to be at the meeting point 10 minutes before scheduled pick-up time. The bus drivers will have a tolerance of 5 minutes waiting time after which they will leave and continue the pick-up route. Customers arriving after departure of the bus cannot be accommodated and tickets cannot be refunded.

Information on what to bring with you is clearly shown on the page of each tour. In general we recommend you to bring: swimsuit, beach towel, sunscreen, sun hat, camera and comfortable shoes.
