Cancellation Policy

Payment, Pre-Tour Requirements, and Important Information:

Per Head Group Tours:

  • Payment: Full payment is required at the time of booking.

  • Cancellation Policy:

    • You can cancel up to 24 hours prior to your scheduled tour and receive a full refund* (minus any VAT or Merchant Fees).

    • Cancellations made less than 24 hours prior to the tour will not receive a refund. However, please contact us to see if rescheduling is possible.

    • If we cancel the tour due to inclement weather for safety reasons or because we haven’t met the minimum number of guests required to run the tour, you will receive a full refund or the option to reschedule.

    • The cardholder is responsible for all merchant fees and VAT, regardless of the cancellation circumstances. This does not apply if My Bahamas cancels due to bad weather or not meeting the required minimum guests.

  • Liability Waiver: All guests must fill out and sign a liability waiver before boarding. The waiver will be provided electronically and should be completed for each participant at least 24 hours before the tour begins (if you do not have the ability to fill this out electronically, please let us know so that we can bring a hard copy for you to sign prior to boarding).

Private Tours:

  • Non-refundable Deposit: A 25% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. The full cost of the tour is due no later than 7 days prior to the scheduled tour date for all bookings made in advance. This deposit secures your spot and ensures a high-quality experience.

  • Bookings Made Within One Week (7 Days) Prior to the Tour: Full payment of deposit and balance is required at the time of booking to secure last-minute reservations and expedite preparations.

  • Liability Waiver: All guests must sign a liability waiver before boarding. The waiver will be provided electronically and must be completed for each participant at least 24 hours before the tour begins.

  • Guest Intake Form: All guests must fill out the guest intake form which helps us to know important information regarding swimming and snorkel skill level, medical conditions or allergies and preferences. This helps us to prepare the best tour possible for you with your preferences, comfort and safety in mind.

Private Tours Cancellation Policy:

  • Booking and Deposit: A 25% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking.

    • In the event of a tour cancellation due to adverse weather conditions, this deposit will be fully refunded.

    • For all other situations outside of adverse weather the cardholder is responsible for all merchant fees and VAT, regardless of the cancellation circumstances.

  • Guest Cancellations:

    • More than 1 week before the tour: Full refund of the remaining balance (excluding the non-refundable deposit, VAT, and merchant fees).

    • Between 3 to 7 days (72 to 168 hours) before the tour: 50% refund of the remaining balance (excluding the non-refundable deposit, VAT, and merchant fees).

    • Less than 72 hours before the tour: No refund provided. However, if you must cancel within 72 hours of your tour date, we are happy to discuss holding a portion of your unused payment toward future tours.

  • Special Circumstances: In the event of a major medical emergency or other significant unforeseen circumstances, please provide supporting documentation for us to consider exceptions to our policy. We aim to work with you to find a fair solution, such as rescheduling your tour, partial refunds, or holding a portion of your payment for a future tour.

  • Inclement Weather: If the weather on your scheduled tour day is concerning, we will reschedule if possible or issue a full refund. Our vessel is designed for smooth sailing in less-than-ideal conditions, but your safety and a good experience are our priorities. For some fishing adventures, we may proceed in light rain but will reschedule or refund if lightning strikes or seas are too rough.

  • No-Shows and Non-Compliance: No refunds will be issued for no-shows, guests who show up intoxicated, or those who cannot participate due to conditions outlined in our "Who This Tour Is Not Suitable For" section in the FAQ. Please review these guidelines carefully before booking and contact us if you have any questions.

  • Cruise Ship Passengers: If cruise ship itinerary changes prevent you from going on your tour at the scheduled time, we will issue a refund. Please alert us at least 24 hours before your scheduled tour to avoid penalties. If we are alerted after this period, no refund will be issued. When booking, please schedule your tour at least an hour after your cruise ship is scheduled to arrive.
