- By proceeding, you agree to our Terms & Conditions (found on our website). You confirm that you are responsible for securing your own travel insurance and fully release the company from all liability regarding accidents, injuries, or medical costs. Guests must independently arrange transportation to/from the meeting point and assume sole responsibility for alcohol consumption, situational awareness, and conduct, accepting full financial liability for any resulting damages or fines. The company is also not liable for the actions of other participants or third parties. Note: Speedboat rides can be bumpy due to open sea conditions, making it not suitable for infants, pregnant women, or those with back, heart, or mobility issues; participation is at your own risk. Finally, engaging in unauthorized activities with third-party island vendors violates safety protocols and constitutes a voluntary withdrawal from the tour and forfeiting further service.
