Guide didn’t show up

The guide did not show up and didn’t answer our calls. We haven’t heard from them yet. Didn’t get my money back either.

No one showed up

I did the 6am tour hoping to see the sunrise. I showed up to the designated meeting point, but no one was there to meet me. I still haven’t heard from the operator all though I got my refund. So I would not recommend as they seem to cancel without notifying customers

Operator response

Good day Ole, i’ve just came across your review please let me know when you’re available to chat. I would like to resolve this issue. I’m not sure how our booking lady might have missed booking you in manually as we have to book all our third-party apps in manually. Not sure if you received our cancellation email as a tour was cancelled because of bad weather?Just trying to figure out what went wrong from our side and would like to fix this issue would like to make the priority to refund . Please contact me over whatsapp on +27 65 073 3164 Kind regards Brandon

Poor communication

The tour was cancelled due to water conditions … I understand however received no communications to that effect . Other vendors cancelled on Friday for the Sunday

We always do our best to make the right call as close to the time as possible, as our priority is ensuring our guests have the best possible experience on the water while keeping safety a top concern. That said, we acknowledge that our communication in this instance fell short, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Please feel free to contact me directly on WhatsApp at +27 65 073 3164 so I can look into your booking and assist you personally.

Unreliable

Booked this, was excited to see the dolphins, it got cancelled the day before and the company rescheduled, and then cancelled and this keep on going, have asked for refund no response

Operator response

Hi there, We’re really sorry to hear about your experience—this is certainly not the impression we want to leave. Dolphin sightings and sea conditions can sometimes require last-minute changes for safety reasons, but we completely understand how frustrating repeated cancellations and lack of communication must have been. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, especially when it comes to handling refunds and keeping our guests informed. We’d really like to resolve this for you as soon as possible I will be able to assist you and direct you on how to go about refund through Viator. Please reach out to us directly at +27 65 073 3164 on whatsapp with your booking details so we can prioritize your refund and make things right. Thank you for your patience, and again, our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.
