When to Book
2-4 Weeks Ahead
Popular tours and dates book up fast. Private charters on weekends can fill up even earlier. The earlier you book, the more boat options you will have.
1-2 Weeks Ahead
More availability but still wise to book ahead, especially for full-day tours. Weekends fill up faster than weekdays.
A Few Days
Good availability in shoulder season. You can often book 2-3 days ahead or even last-minute. Weather may be more variable, so flexibility helps.
Key Booking Tips
Book Early for Peak Season
July and August are extremely busy. Popular experiences like Blue Cave tours and sunset cruises can book out 2-3 weeks ahead. Start looking as soon as you have your travel dates.
Flexible Dates = Better Options
If you have flexibility in your travel dates, you will have more choice. Consider booking your tour first, then arranging accommodation around it.
Check the Weather Window
Book for early in your trip if possible. If weather forces a cancellation, you will have backup days. Do not save your must-do experience for your last day.
Communicate Special Requests
Tell us about special occasions (proposals, birthdays), dietary requirements, or specific interests when booking. We can tailor the experience.
