Note

Please note: This tour involves an extensive amount of off-road driving and a moderate amount of walking for approximately 0.6 miles (about 0.95 kilometres), at times over uneven, sandy, slippery, and natural surfaces and inclines, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach and 4WD Jeep. Walking at the beaches visited is at the discretion of each guest. The 4WD Jeeps utilised on this tour seat four passengers. The ride may be rough at times, and guests will experience bumpy, jerking motions. This tour is recommended for guests who are in good physical condition. This tour is not suitable for pregnant guests, guests with neck/back problems, guests with heart/respiratory conditions, guests prone to motion sickness, guests with limited mobility, and guests who utilise a wheelchair. Guests are advised to wear lightweight, comfortable clothing in layers that they won’t mind getting dirty, including long pants and long-sleeve shirts, with flat, sturdy and closed-toe walking or hiking shoes, and bring sun protection, a towel, change of clothing, umbrella, weatherproof windbreaker, bottled water, and local currency or credit cards for purchases from the ship; open-toed shoes are not permitted on this tour. Please dress conservatively when going ashore. As a rule, women should never wear anything remotely revealing (miniskirts, shorts, capris, beachwear, and sleeveless or low-cut tops), and men should always wear shirts and trousers in public. Proper attire is required to enter religious sites; shorts and bare shoulders are not permitted. Shoes must be removed prior to entering the temples; we suggest bringing along a pair of thick socks, because the pavement may be very hot. The price of this tour is per person, and based on four people sharing one 4WD vehicle. Guests must be at least 12 years old to participate on this tour; minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian over 18 years old. Guests must be at least 18 years old to be served alcoholic beverages. The combined weight of the 4WD Jeep passengers cannot exceed approximately 176-200 pounds (about 80-85 kilograms). Guests weighing more than 200 pounds (about 85 kilograms) cannot participate on this tour. Guests must be at least 5 feet (about 152 centimetres) in height to participate on this tour. This tour operates during mornings only. Salomague may be basic, and local conditions may be challenging; coaches, guides, hotels, restaurants, equipment, and services are the best-available in the area, but may not be up to the standards of those found on other ports. Therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique, less touristic destinations. The cost of providing a tour programme in this area is proportionately more expensive than in neighbouring regions, as vehicles and guides are brought in from the whole region. This may be reflected in the prices of the tours, and we thank you for your understanding. For your added safety and protection, please leave jewellery, valuables, and large amounts of cash on board the ship. Guests should be respectful towards local sentiments and customs. Operation of this tour is subject to weather conditions. A signed waiver is required to participate on this tour. The tour sequence may vary.
