FAQ

What language will the guide speak?

Each tour card shows its format: “With a guide” means a Russian-speaking guide, “With a driver” means an English-speaking driver-guide, and “Private” means an itinerary just for you. Tours are led in English by our driver-guides; please mention any language preferences in your request.

What if it rains?

Tropical rain on the islands doesn’t last long. If the weather makes a route unsafe (sea, volcano, flight), we move it to another day or refund your deposit.

Can I reschedule or cancel a tour?

Yes. Free rescheduling up to 24 hours before the start. Flights and yachts have stricter terms: they are paid in advance, and we’ll give you the deadlines when we confirm.

How do I pay?

Prices are shown in the destination’s currency; you pay in US dollars or euros.
