What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the day smoother, based on the listing and on what repeated reviewers report.

• Confirmation timing. Confirmation is received within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability, so the booking is not instant in every case. Anyone tying this sail to a tight travel schedule should book early enough to allow for that window.
• Water activities. Snorkel gear, kayaks and paddleboards are included, so guests split up during the swim stop.
• Drinks and food. Beer, wine and soft drinks are unlimited, and reviewers frequently praise both the drinks and the food. The listing covers snacks, though multiple reviewers describe receiving a full meal, with a vegetarian option available if requested at booking.
• Group feel. The boat carries a maximum of 35 travellers. Reviewers mention music and a social atmosphere on board, and one reviewer reports meeting other guests during the trip.
• Weather flexibility. The trip needs good weather. Reviewers have sailed in choppy waves and stormy conditions and still enjoyed it, but the operator cancels for poor weather with a different date or a full refund offered.
• Families and kids. Children must be accompanied by an adult. One reviewer with a young child felt he was safe because of how attentive the crew was, and another travelled with a family of 6 across a wide age range and had a good time.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and anyone booking within one day of departure may find hotel transportation unavailable, which means arranging the trip to Playa Flamingo independently. Weather can interrupt plans, and the operator also requires a minimum number of travellers, so the sail can be cancelled for low participation; in both cases a different date or a full refund is offered. Cancellations by guests must be made at least 24 hours before the start time for a refund.
