Cholón Island: While incredibly fun, Cholón is a lively "party island" where alcohol consumption is common. It's not suitable for everyone. Your safety regarding any activities undertaken while under the influence of alcohol is your personal responsibility; we are not liable for incidents occurring due to intoxication. Please choose this option wisely based on your preferences.

Personal Belongings: Always keep your valuables with you. We are not responsible for any items lost or left behind on the boat.

Additional Fees: Any entrance fees to additional attractions or extra services you choose are not included in your tour price and are your responsibility to pay directly.

Snorkeling Safety: Our snorkeling activity takes place in deeper waters, not directly from the beach. For your comfort and safety, we highly recommend wearing water shoes and using the provided life vests.

Personal Insurance: While our tour includes basic coverage for minor accidents up to certain limits, it's essential that all travelers have their own comprehensive personal insurance to cover any unforeseen circumstances.

Weather & Safety Policy: In the event that the Port Authority (Capitanía de Puerto) issues a yellow flag or maritime restrictions for the Playa Blanca area, your safety remains our priority. We will still fulfill our 5-spot island itinerary by rerouting to Marine Beach by Tequendama on Tierra Bomba Island. This exclusive beach club offers expansive shorelines, pool access, sun loungers, and a premium lounge area to ensure your experience remains uninterrupted.
