This tour requires a minimum number of guests to operate, therefore by default the pricing is set at one private boat (up to 5 people). If you are a group smaller than 5 and would like to book without reserving the entire boat, please give us a call at 360-510-1243 and we can look into finding dates where there is availability for a specific number of people.
Further, if you reserve the entire boat (up to 5 people) and would like us to help you "sell" the other spots, please give us a call at 360-510-1243, and let us know, and we will offer all unwanted seats in the boat for the standard per person rate, and refund you any amounts charged to others.
If this sounds confusing, please understand we are just trying to make sure that we can take care of everyone including our guides, and ensure we can avoid cancelling a trip.
