Travel planning

Plan your pickup and return

Fit your bay day around your arrival and onward travel.

By CATBA DAY CRUISE · Planning guide

Start with where you need to be

Read the boarding or pickup details for the service you select. Share where you are staying and how you will arrive. Ask the team to confirm the pickup location and time before making a tight onward connection.

Review pickup and return times before combining a cruise with travel. Arriving the previous evening often makes a morning departure possible.

Match the arrangements to your group

Check the listed kayaking, swimming and village stops. Ask about the pace of the itinerary and any dietary or mobility requirements rather than assuming every boat follows the same plan.

If a transfer is needed, check whether it is included or quoted separately. Ask for the route, pickup point and final cost to be stated in the quote.

Check your arrival and departure days

Keep inbound travel separate from the full service window. Compare the listed departure and return information with your transport plans, and ask the team to check the connection before committing to it.

Your written confirmation is the reference for the service date. Weather and port restrictions may change timing or routing; keep the team’s contact details available when travelling.

Before you confirm

This guide draws on the listed services and booking policies. Your selected operator’s availability, itinerary, inclusions and final quote are confirmed for your travel date.
