Adventure boating includes risks. While we make every effort to safeguard clients, we cannot be held responsible for personal injury or loss due to actions that are beyond our control. We recommend that all clients have travel insurance covering illness, injury, loss or damage to personal belongings, road closures, flooding, and other natural disasters—especially during the wet season—which may cause them to miss their trip.
