Terms & Conditions

Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully before booking any experience with Salinas Adventures. By submitting a reservation, paying a deposit, or participating in any of our tours or expeditions, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the following terms.

At Salinas Adventures, our goal is to provide safe, meaningful, and unforgettable marine experiences while operating responsibly and respectfully within the natural environment of Baja California Sur. We aim to keep our policies fair, transparent, and sustainable for both our guests and our team.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms & Conditions at any time without prior notice.

Reservations & Payments

A reservation is confirmed once we receive either a 50% deposit or full payment for your experience.

The remaining balance must be paid prior to departure unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Payments may be made via:

  • Cash (preferred)

  • Mexican bank transfer

  • Wise transfer

  • Debit or credit card (processing fees may apply)

All prices are listed in Mexican Pesos (MXN) unless otherwise stated. Payments made in foreign currencies are subject to the exchange rate at the time of payment.

Cancellation & No-Show Policy

Due to the logistical planning involved in organizing marine safaris and reserving space on our vessels, all reservations are subject to the following cancellation policy:

Guest Cancellations

  • More than 48 hours before the tour: 50% of your deposit will be refunded.

  • Within 48 hours of the tour departure: the deposit is non-refundable.

  • If a guest cancels their reservation, arrives late and misses departure, or does not show up for the tour, the full remaining balance of the experience remains due and must be paid in full.

  • No refunds will be issued for unused portions of a tour, missed departures, seasickness, voluntary withdrawal, or personal schedule changes.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect against unexpected situations such as illness, transportation delays, weather interruptions, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Weather & Ocean Conditions

The ocean is a dynamic natural environment, and safety is always our top priority.

Salinas Adventures reserves the right to modify, shorten, reschedule, or cancel any tour due to:

  • Unsafe weather conditions

  • Strong winds or rough seas

  • Port closures

  • Mechanical issues

  • Safety concerns

  • Any unforeseen circumstances beyond our control

If we determine that conditions are unsafe to operate:

  • We will do our best to reschedule your experience.

  • If rescheduling is not possible, we may offer either a credit or refund at our discretion.

If a guest chooses not to participate due to weather or sea conditions, but we determine conditions are safe to operate, no refund will be provided.

Salinas Adventures is not responsible for additional expenses incurred due to cancellations or schedule changes, including flights, accommodations, transportation, lost vacation time, or related costs.

Marine Wildlife Sightings

Our experiences take place in the wild and involve free-ranging marine wildlife in their natural habitat.

While we strive to provide extraordinary encounters and have a high success rate, Salinas Adventures cannot guarantee sightings of any specific marine species, including whales, dolphins, mobula rays, whale sharks, or other wildlife.

Every day on the ocean is unique, and animal behavior, weather, water visibility, and natural conditions can vary significantly.

No refunds, discounts, or partial reimbursements will be issued due to:

  • Lack of specific wildlife sightings

  • Brief encounters

  • Changes in animal behavior

  • Water visibility or ocean conditions

We appreciate our guests’ understanding and respect for the unpredictable beauty of the natural world.

Participation & Safety

Guests are required to follow all safety instructions provided by our guides, captains, and crew at all times.

Salinas Adventures reserves the right to refuse participation or remove any guest from an experience if their behavior:

  • Poses a risk to themselves or others

  • Is unsafe or disruptive

  • Damages wildlife or the environment

  • Interferes with the operation of the tour

No refunds will be issued in these circumstances.

Guests are responsible for honestly assessing their own physical condition and swimming ability before participating in any marine activity.

Medical Conditions

Guests must inform us prior to departure of any relevant medical conditions, injuries, allergies, physical limitations, or other circumstances that may affect participation.

Participation in marine activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to:

  • Ocean currents and waves

  • Slippery surfaces

  • Wildlife interactions

  • Sun exposure and dehydration

  • Physical exertion

  • Motion sickness

  • Remote locations with limited medical access

By participating, guests acknowledge and voluntarily accept these inherent risks.

All participants may be required to sign a liability waiver before participating in activities operated by Salinas Adventures.

Parents or legal guardians must sign on behalf of any minors participating in tours.

Equipment Responsibility

Any snorkeling or marine equipment provided by Salinas Adventures must be treated responsibly and returned in good condition.

Guests may be charged for lost, damaged, or negligently handled equipment, including replacement and associated costs.

Photography & Media

During tours, photos or videos may occasionally be taken by our team for promotional or educational purposes.

By participating in our experiences, guests grant Salinas Adventures permission to use these images or videos unless they specifically request otherwise in writing prior to the tour.
