The practical bits

Toilet stop

Not needed — we're never more than ten minutes from town.

Getting in and out

Two steps up into the tuk tuk. I can help you transfer and fold a chair into the back — message me and I'll tell you honestly whether it'll work for you.

Children

Seatbelts on every seat, and everyone wears one. I don't carry child seats, and I'm not going to guess at what the law wants for a toddler in a tuk tuk — message me before you book, tell me how old they are, and I'll tell you straight what I can and can't do.

Youngest

No minimum, but talk to me first about babies and toddlers.

Time of year

All year, every departure from nine in the morning to five in the evening.

If the weather turns

The sides come down, so light rain is fine. If it's genuinely wet I'll move you to another time or refund you — your call.

Group size

Up to 4 of you in one tuk tuk. More than that and I bring a second driver, same price each.

What I promise

I'll be there, or you don't pay

Outside your hotel at the time we agreed. If I'm more than fifteen minutes late and haven't messaged you, the tour's free. You're booking a stranger in a foreign country — that shouldn't be the thing you're worrying about.

Weather's rubbish? We move it

Not a refund, a better day — as many times as you like while you're here, at no charge. The sides come down so drizzle is nothing, but I'm not driving you round in the wet and calling it a holiday. If you fly home before we manage it, you get your money back.

Your pace, not my timetable

If the kids want another twenty minutes in the sea, we stay. I've never once cut a tour short to get back for the next one, and I'd rather run three good ones a day than six rushed ones.

The other two

All three tours
