Your safety is our first priority; this is why we will be enacting the following procedures for 2021:
All of our driver/guides & sales staff will be required to wear masks & receive a daily temperature check before they begin work. If an employee is having any symptoms they will be sent home. All passengers will be required to wear a mask while on tour. If you have forgotten your mask onboard your ship, no worries, we will provide you with a disposable mask. Before our vehicles leave on tour they will be wiped down and sanitized with UV lights and disinfectant. Hand Sanitizer will be available in each of our vehicles for your use. WE MUST ALL WORK TOGETHER TO STAY SAFE FROM THIS VIRUS.
