- Withdrawal Limit: ATMs in Thailand typically have a daily withdrawal limit of around 10,000 THB per 24 hours. Please note that this limit may vary depending on the bank and card type.
- Recommended Usage: It is recommended to use ATMs at bank branches rather than at supermarkets or other places to minimize the risk of card skimming.
CHILDREN:
- Welcome to Join: Children are welcome on our tours. However, please consider that these are ocean tours involving travel over open water for up to 2 hours. The tours are long days and should be carefully considered before booking.
- Supervision and Safety: Please be aware that our tour insurance, like most policies in Thailand, does not cover children under 4 years old. You are personally responsible for the supervision and safety of your children on board.
WEATHER / SAFETY:
- Cancellations by Aloha Ocean Adventures Co., Ltd: In the event of adverse weather conditions, boat issues, or engine problems, resulting in the cancellation of your scheduled trip by Aloha Ocean Adventures Co., Ltd, a full refund of 100% will be provided.
- No Refunds after Trip Start: Once a trip has begun, no refunds are available. We will make every effort to find safe and suitable dive/snorkeling sites for your tour and ensure you have a wonderful day. Even on rainy days, underwater experiences can still be great.
- Captain’s Decision: Please understand that there may be instances where the boat is forced to divert to an alternate location (e.g., Phi Phi to Racha Yai) due to high waves posing a risk. The captain has the final authority to decide the destination based on weather and safety considerations on the day of the tour.
