These terms apply to all visitors, users, and guests who access or use our website or book our expeditions.
Quetzal Liveaboard provides liveaboard diving expeditions in the waters of the Mexican Pacific, including but not limited to the Revillagigedo Archipelago (Socorro Islands), the Sea of Cortez, and Magdalena Bay. Our services include accommodation aboard the Quetzal, meals, guided diving, and related activities as described in each itinerary.
All expeditions are subject to availability. We reserve the right to modify itineraries based on weather conditions, safety considerations, or circumstances beyond our control.
Reservations can be made through our website, via email, or through authorized travel agents. A booking is considered confirmed only when we have received the required deposit and have issued a written confirmation.
By making a booking, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and that all information you provide is accurate and complete. You are responsible for notifying us of any changes to your information before departure.
All prices are listed in US Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated. Prices include the services described in the specific itinerary and exclude airfare, travel insurance, crew gratuities, dive equipment rental (unless specified), and personal expenses.
A deposit is required to confirm your reservation. The full balance must be paid by the date specified in your booking confirmation. Failure to pay the balance by the due date may result in cancellation of your reservation.
We reserve the right to modify prices at any time. However, confirmed bookings are honored at the price agreed upon at the time of reservation.
Our full cancellation and refund policy is available on the Cancellation Policy page. In summary, refund amounts depend on how far in advance you cancel, with full refunds (minus an administrative fee) available for cancellations made 90 or more days before departure, and no refunds for cancellations made within 30 days of departure.
We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that covers trip cancellation, interruption, and medical evacuation.
