Ikigaiexperience.com.br will only collect, use and disclose personal information in accordance with the Privacy Policy. By using the website and the online booking system, you confirm that you have read the terms of the Ikigaiexperience.com.br Privacy Policy and that you agree and confirm that the terms of the Privacy Policy are reasonable.

  1. prices


Dive hosts warrant that the diving services displayed on the Ikigaiexperience.com.br website are offered at the lowest price available through any booking or booking method with respect to applicable dates, booking terms and diving services inclusions at the time of booking. Unless otherwise stated in the Dive Host Terms, all fees and prices listed through the Online Booking System include the total cost of all services and charges related to the Dive Services, including but not limited to all surcharges, taxes and fees.

  1. Availability


Diving services displayed on the Ikigaiexperience.com.br website containing a 'Book now' button are available for booking, subject to immediate confirmation upon completion of booking via the Online Booking System, and:
(a) For diving services measured in days, the Dive Host agrees to provide such services in strict accordance with the dates specified in the reservation.

  1. Payment


In the case of daily diving booking with a Dive Centre, all fees, costs, charges and taxes relating to the Dive Services are payable directly to the Dive Host on the booking confirmation. The reservation fee charged on the Ikigaiexperience.com.br website is intended for the dissemination and marketing-place of the operators as well as to maintain the website's operating costs. Ikigaiexperience.com.br will not collect or store credit card information on its servers.

  1. Cancellation or Rescheduling

Cancellation Policy

For reimbursement of the amount paid, the following notice periods must be considered:

  • Full refund: up to 7 days in advance;
  • Promotions will not be refunded, only rescheduled;
  • Up to 24 hours after purchase, the amount can be refunded at 100% if the start of the experience is at least 48 hours away from the moment of the refund request.

Rescheduling Policy

  • Up to 24 hours after purchase, a rescheduling may be requested if the start of the experience is at least 48 hours from the time of order.
  • To transfer the dive date or change the reservation, the request must be requested at least 72 hours before the start of the experience.
  • After the transfer of the experience day, it is not possible to have a refund of the amount paid.
  • If you need to change the date less than 72 hours in advance, but longer than 24 hours, an amount of R$ 100 per person will be charged. This fee is charged because the operator needs to contact the accredited instructors days before the dive is performed.
  • 24 hours before the dive we were unable to reschedule, not even paying R$100 per person.

NOTE: Diving can continue to be performed even on rainy days, as it does not directly affect the dive. If the operator assesses on the day that the weather may impact the safety and quality of the dive, we will reschedule together with the client or refund the amount.

  1. Special Circumstances

If the Dive Host is permanently unable to deliver the Dive Services as a result of acts of God, volcanic eruptions, tornado, tsunami, flood, natural disaster, fire, acts of war or riots, the Dive Host will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform the Client Host without delay and will return to the same without deduction any amounts charged by the Dive Host in payment for the Diving Services. The scope of costs to be paid or reimbursed to the Host Customer by the Dive Host is limited to costs directly related to the provision of Diving Services in accordance with the booking made through the Online Booking System, including dives, diving packages, guided tours , diving safaris, courses and equipment rental. The Dive Host is not responsible for costs such as airfare or any other costs that are not directly related to the provision of Dive Services.
