What if the weather is bad? Will I get a refund?

Every tour is affected by the weather, especially wind and tides. Also, Hong Kong lies in the tropical typhoon zone, so several safety aspects need to be managed. We make trip-specific judgments, based on expected weather conditions and other circumstances, including group dynamic and ability for that day. If we think the trip is not safe, we will postpone or cancel it.

We will offer either a delayed start (weather permitting) or a rescheduling of your trip. Depending on the circumstances on the day, we will consider how best to appropriately manage such a situation.

More about Kayaking Etiquette:

You are a guest – bring a quiet voice and leave behind your radios and portable speakers– your fellow participants will appreciate it and you will be rewarded by seeing more of the natural environment and its tranquility. Tread lightly, paddle slowly and enjoy nature. This is particularly relevant in the habitats of the endangered Chinese White dolphin. Persistent disturbance of their habitat has interfered with breeding, feeding and care of their young. Please join with us and carry out all your litter and any other trash. Don't remove rocks, logs, driftwood, wildflowers or plants – Take only photos, leave only footprints.
