New England EcoAdventures reserves the right to cancel a tour due to unsafe sea or weather conditions or maintenance needs which does not allow the boat to operate properly. In such a case, New England EcoAdventures will try to reschedule the tour if possible. If it isn’t possible passengers will receive a full refund.
All Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled departure date. If canceled less than 48 hours or if a no-show occurs the customer will be responsible for the full amount of the excursion.
As we have minimum space on our boats when a customer reserves a specific date and time that booking is held exclusively for that customer and no longer available to other customers which is why we need a minimum of at least 48 hours to potentially fill the canceled seats prior to the trip.
Coastal conditions can shift quickly, so wear layers to stay comfortable during the boat tour.
The sunset and wildlife provide outstanding photo ops—make sure you’re prepared to capture every moment.
Boat decks can be slippery; choose shoes with good grip rather than sandals or flip flops.
Plan to arrive 20 minutes early and know that nearby parking can fill up, so allow extra time to find a spot.
