We will also endeavour to communicate these extra costs with you at the time of booking, and on your ticket. However, it is your responsibility to confirm which (if any) additional costs apply with each Service Operator upon reconfirming your trip.


Travel Risk/Insurance:

It should be noted that adventure travel involves risk. Whilst we make every effort to safeguard clients, we cannot be responsible for personal injury or loss due to the actions of our clients which are beyond our control. We highly recommend that all clients have travel insurance covering illness, injury, loss or damage to personal belongings and not being able to travel on the confirmed date of departure.

Transfers:

The Service Operator reserves the right to limit courtesy transfers to select local accommodations. Private residences or Airbnb properties may be asked to meet at the closest confirmed location. Failure to meet at the specified pick-up location may be treated as “No Show”, for which the Client Cancellation Policy applies.

All departures and itineraries are subject to weather. Tours may be changed or cancelled for any reason at the discretion of the Service Operator. If the Service Operator has to cancel the trip or activity (prior to departure) and we cannot offer a suitable alternative, then a refund will be given minus a 20% administration fee and any associated card fees. We strongly recommend that you have travel insurance, especially during the wet season.

In the unlikely event of your trip being cancelled or stood down, all guest communication is required to go through our Online Store via telephone or email.

Accountability/Misconduct:

All Service Operators have the right to provide client feedback and to cancel bookings based off of feedback from other Service Operators. 

Please enjoy your travel experience in a kind and responsible manner.

Sailing Whitsundays/Mr Travel will treat this as any normal client cancellation and therefore the cancellation fees stated in the Client Cancellation Policy will apply.

An epic experience, amazing connection to the ocean with lovely caring team. Snorkeling wasn't the best but I took the lesson for the next time. I'll definitely go back to repeat the amazing adventure. Thank you!
Nina Hawxhurst, 13 Jan 24
Communication was not the best. The boat was slow. Not enough flipper sizes.
Espedito Nicolardi, 09 Jan 24
Fantastic experience, the crew was really funny and made everything needed to make it a wonderful day! We love it and suggest everyone to do it!!!
Kim Finch, 05 Jan 24
It was a perfect day! The sailing was so fun, the crew was friendly, funny, and extremely competent, and the places we went were amazing, despite not being able to stop at Whitehaven Beach.
