Important Instructions Regarding Weather & Activity Closures:
The Andaman Islands are known for their natural beauty, and as such, our operations are subject to the prevailing weather and sea conditions. Your safety is our utmost priority.
Please Read Carefully:
1. Weather Dependency: All water sports activities are highly dependent on weather and sea conditions. This includes factors like: ○ Wind Speed: Strong winds can make the sea rough and unsafe for activities. ○ Rainfall: Heavy rain can reduce visibility (especially for diving/snorkeling), affect comfort, and make sea travel difficult. ○ Tides & Currents: Extreme tides or strong currents can pose safety risks. ○ Monsoon Season (Typically June to September): During these months, the sea can be rough, and many activities, especially those involving deeper waters like Scuba Diving and Sea Walking, may be closed or have limited operations due to safety concerns and poor underwater visibility. Ferries between islands can also be affected.
2. Operator Decisions: The decision to operate or cancel any water activity rests solely with the local operators and the Andaman & Nicobar Administration based on real-time weather assessments. Their judgment is final for your safety.
3. No Risk to Us: In the event of an activity being cancelled or postponed due to unforeseen weather conditions, technical issues, or any reason beyond our control (e.g., government directives, natural calamities, operational closures), [Your Company Name/We] will not be held liable for any direct or indirect losses incurred by the guest. This includes, but is not limited to, missed activities, additional accommodation costs, or changes to your itinerary.
4. Refund/Reschedule Policy for Cancellations Beyond Our Control:
○ If an activity you have pre-booked is cancelled by the operator due to weather or operational reasons, we will endeavor to:
■ Reschedule the activity for a later time during your trip, if possible and if slots are available.
■ If rescheduling is not possible, we will process a refund for the specific cancelled activity. Please note that refund processing times can vary.
○ No refunds will be provided for transportation, accommodation, or other related expenses if an activity is cancelled due to weather, as these are separate services.
5. Flexibility is Key: We strongly advise guests to maintain some flexibility in their itinerary, especially if water sports are a high priority, to allow for potential rescheduling.
6. Stay Informed: We will do our best to keep you informed of any potential closures or changes. However, guests are also encouraged to check local weather forecasts and confirm with their on-ground representative/operator.
7. Agreement : By selecting these activities, you acknowledge and accept these terms regarding the unpredictable nature of weather in the Andaman Islands and the potential impact on water sports.
