Article 1: Scope of These Terms

These Terms set out the conditions for booking and participating in the marine tours (the "Tours") offered by Sea Turtle Brothers ("we," "us," or "our"). By submitting the booking form, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms.

Article 2: Booking Confirmation

Submitting the booking form is a booking request only; it does not confirm your booking. Your booking is confirmed only when we contact you via LINE or by phone to confirm it. Depending on availability and sea conditions, we may be unable to accommodate your request.

Tour fees are the prices shown on each plan page (tax included). Payment is made in cash, on site, on the day of your tour.

The following cancellation terms apply to all Tours.

  • Free cancellation until the day before your tour
  • Same-day cancellation: 100% of the tour fee
  • No-show: 100% of the tour fee
  • Please contact us via LINE or by phone to cancel or change your booking

Article 5: Cancellation Due to Weather

With safety as our top priority, we may cancel a tour at our discretion due to poor weather, rough sea conditions, or similar circumstances. In that case, no cancellation fee applies, and any fees already paid will be refunded in full.

Article 6: Safety and Participation Requirements

To keep every tour safe, we ask all guests to observe the following.

  • Please follow your guide's instructions throughout the tour. For safety reasons, we may ask you to stop participating if instructions are not followed

Article 8: Limitation of Liability

While we make every effort to ensure safety, we are not liable for damages arising from a guest's intentional act or negligence, a violation of these Terms, or force majeure, except where the damage results from our own intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

Article 9: Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms as necessary. Revised Terms take effect when they are posted on this page.

Article 10: Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Any dispute arising in connection with the Tours shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction, in the first instance, of the court having jurisdiction over our place of business.
