The dinghies are each fitted with an emergency satellite phone, flares, First Aid Kit and GPS.

We have a satellite phone onboard which can be used by all passengers. You can make and receive calls throughout your trip. The cost to make a call is $4.00 per minute.

10. What happens if there is bad weather or a cyclone preventing travel?  

We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance and in particular cancellation insurance.    

The Captain will have the final say as to whether the trip commences or returns because of weather conditions.

All passengers should be aware that parts of the Northern Territory may experience cyclones during the December to April period.

In the event that the trip is cancelled due to inclement weather, no refund will be given. Passengers can re-schedule the trip to the next available date(s) that are suitable for the group. The full amount paid will apply to the replacement trip.

In the event of a commenced trip unable to complete more than 50% (3 days of a standard trip) of the scheduled charter due to inclement weather, a refund for the remaining days will apply.

11. Do you cater for special diets?  

Yes, we have a full time ala-carte Chef onboard that will prepare sumptuous meals throughout your trip. If you have any special requests or dietary requirements please let is know.
