SERVICE CANCELLATION POLICY

Lessons and Island Rides are not offered at this time. We are currently discussing what precautionary measures we can take to ensure the safety and health of our customers and instructors if we choose to reopen our lessons and island rides this season. As of right now we do not have an ETA for the reopening of these services.

 

 

There are several situations that could arise which will result in full or partial cancellation of services. Here are the most common ones together with our policy for each one:
