RESPONSIBILITY & DIFFICULTY LEVEL OF OUR TOURS
Bahia Aventuras does not guarantee sightings of any type of wildlife (marine and inland) during any of our tours. Bahia Aventuras assumes no responsibility for damage or loss to personal possessions during any of the tours (cameras, cell phones, money, jewelry or other expensive equipment). Dry bags are provided for passenger use, however ultimate responsibility falls on the individual for the protection of their valuables. We suggest leaving jewelry, passports or other identification at your place of lodging. A photocopy of your passport and/or identification is recommended in the event of a police check. Our boats are not anchored at any dock, so you’ll have to wade through small waves to enter the boat (wet landing). The trails at Corcovado and Ballena park are flat and easy but it can be muddy in places during rainy months (May to November )and warm during the dry season ( December to April ) , with roots to avoid. Bahia Aventuras is committed to helping protect our natural resources and preservation of our planet, so our policy is not to use plastic water bottles on any of our tours. Boats carry a container with fresh water and reusable water cups, however we recommend bringing your own reusable water bottle since in national parks is forbidden to take single use plastic bottle.
