Reservations are on a first-come basis. To reserve space send your APPLICATION with a deposit of $100 per trip. The balance is due 3 weeks prior to departure. Payment of the balance must be in the form of one check per group. Visa or MasterCard are accepted for the $100 deposit only. All other payments must be made by check, money order or cashier's check. We reserve the right to cancel if full payment is not received on time. In such cases, the deposit is non-refundable.

In the case of cancellation by your group, fees paid to Oceanic Society more than three weeks prior to departure are refundable, less a $50 charge. There are no refunds if your group cancels less than three weeks prior to departure.

For reservations taken less than two weeks prior to departure Oceanic Society will assess an administrative late fee for processing your payment. The late fee is $1.00 per person. The total payment is due immediately by credit card payment for reservations taken less than two weeks prior to the departure date.

Trips may be cancelled by Oceanic Society due to under-subscription, hazardous sea conditions or other acts of God.

In no event shall our liability exceed the obligation to refund the amount you paid us. No-shows and latecomers who miss the boat will forfeit the entire fee.

Trips fill up quickly so early reservations are recommended. Please consult the enclosed brochure for the dates and times that might best fit your schedule. We look forward to arranging a Whale Watch trip for your group.
