Easy from the tender dock

How your cruise day works

Simple steps from ship to Seafront

  1. Book, then sign your waiver

    Reserve online or message us on WhatsApp. After booking you will get a link to our online waiver. Fill it in before you arrive so check-in is just a quick meet and greet, then straight onto the boat.

  2. Meet us at the Seafront

    Next to Nambawan Cafe, about a 3-minute walk from the seafront tender berth. You are in town already, so no taxi or bus is needed.

  3. Tour, then back with buffer

    We aim for you to be back at the tender area at least 45 minutes before all-aboard. That is the buffer we plan around.
