Frequently Asked Questions

Booking.

How can I book my adventure?

You can either book your expeditions through our website or contact us by phone, email, or through our contact forms. We would love to guide you towards the best experience for you, answer your questions, and complete your reservation.

Prior to booking, it is important that you read the adventure description, our Cancellation & Reservation Policies, and our Acknowledgment of Risk and Release of Liability form. If you have any comments or questions do not hesitate to contact our office.

Once we receive your reservation, we will get back to you with the confirmation and details of your adventure.

What are your cancellation policies? Is my deposit refundable?

Most of YO investments are incurred during the adventure preparation. Cancellation and refund policies reflect the impossibility of recovering these investments for short-notice cancellations, no-shows, emergency cancellations, or withdrawals from ongoing adventures.  Last minute cancellations cannot be re-filled.

Any cancellation must be notified in writing by the person who made the booking.

For all one-day activities, if you cancel or leave for any reason:

  • No refunds will be given on cancellations made after 48 hours before the tour.

For multi-day expeditions and courses, if you cancel or leave for any reason:

  • Between 45 and 60 days from the expedition/course starting date, YO will retain 25 percent of the expedition cooperation fee.
  • Between 15 and 44 days from the expedition/course starting date, YO will retain 50 percent of the expedition cooperation fee.
  • Less than 14 days prior to the expedition starting date and once the expedition has begun, there will be no refunds.
  • If you choose to leave the trip early, there is a 100 percent tuition penalty.

Although we rarely need to do so, Yucatan Outdoors reserves the right to cancel any one-day activities, multi-day expeditions and courses, at any time, for any reason.  In this scenario a full refund will be done.

* For more information please take a look to our Reservation and Cancellation Policies form.

Can I pay with a credit card the day of the adventure?

Because most of our adventures take place in remote areas where no internet access is available, it is not possible to pay with credit card the same day as the adventure. We prefer the pending balance to be cover in cash in Mexican pesos preferably.

There are also ATMs available, if you would need one.

Mexican Pesos exchange rate is determined on the day of the tour- as that of the local bank.

What if the weather is bad? Can I change my day?

We do our tours, even with some rain. If there is lightning, we do not go in the water until the storm has passed.

Keep in mind that Caribbean weather is almost unpredictable. We suggest to give it a try and if we see the forecast to be unfavorable, you have the option to change your day if you prefer (according to availability).
