CRUISE INTERRUPTION & CANCELLATION INSURANCE:

We strongly reccommend that all passengers traveling to Galapagos Sky invest in COMPREHENSIVE medical, accident, trip cancellation and trip interruption insurance at the time of your reservation. This investment will protect you and your financial commitment in the event of unforeseen travel delays/ airline cancellations, personal or family illness or injury, etc. which may not allow for you to attend your scheduled cruise. We also strongly reccommend diving accident insurance such as coverage provided by Divers Alert Network.

Gratuities to guides and crew: Aboard our vessels, gratuities are not included. We prefer that our guests reward our crew based on their performance. If the crew performs to your expectations, may we suggest that a gratuity of approximately 10-15% of your cruise rate be considered normal aboard a live aboard dive boat. However, ultimately the amount to tip is entirely at the discretion of the guest. Gratuities are divided up among all crew members including naturalist guides.
