Guaranteed drop-off at the harbor 2 hours before your ship's departure. Day trip available only on stopover days.
In the event of postponement due to weather or if the main stop at Lake Retba cannot be made for natural reasons (lake dry, access impossible), a full refund of the booking will be issued. Lac Rose is a planned stop but subject to natural conditions and therefore considered optional.
