Liability disclosure conditions: All health/medical conditions must be informed to Epic Ocean Adventures staff before departure & detailed on completing participant declaration.
Participants must not participate in any activity if they have any injury, disability, medical or health condition that may increase them in becoming injured unless Epic Ocean Adventures has been made aware of it and authorised and agreed for guest to participate.
Participants active in aqua tours & lessons must be able to swim competently.
Epic Ocean Adventures reserves the right to change or cancel tours/ lessons on the rare occasion due to poor or dangerous weather and beach conditions.
Real-time assessment may result in cancellation before departure, on arrival or during the tour. Refund less the deposit is issued if unable to operate prior to departure due to weather constraints and participants are unable to re book or participate in another activity. If cancellation occurs during the tour or on arrival to location, deposit will be non-refundable to cover transportation and park fee costs.
Wildlife: Due to the natural and non-contrived environment in which tours operate, Epic Ocean Adventures cannot guarantee sighting of dolphins or any other marine life within the Great Sandy National Park. Nevertheless, our success rate is on average 90% for dolphin spotting on tour, and due to the remote location of the tour, the chances are high.
Epic Ocean Adventures does not conduct any commercial whale watching programs and as such does not guarantee any marine life sightings. However, during the whale migration season our kayaking Eco tours often can come across migrating whales and the chances of experiencing the whales pass by in season are high.
Please reconfirm booking 24-48 hours in advance in case of time change to suit best weather or beach conditions. Any cancellation inside 48 hours is non refundable. Any cancellation within 7 days will incur the deposit non refundable.
If cancellation is made by customer and not by Epic Ocean Adventures regarding weather or any other reason the above policy stands.
All customer cancellation & refund requests are also subject to our website’s own refund conditions.
