Durban Shore Excursions F.A.Q.
Absolutely. In fact, we always aim to get you back to the ship at least 30 min before your all board time. In 20 years, I have not missed a time!
At Richards Bay, it’s literally alongside the vessel, and in Durban, alongside the pedestrian gate at the terminal.
Yes they are. Depending on the age I can arrange for children’s seat for the vehicle.
It does happen from time to time. I will wait, it’s no problem at all, and will adjust the itinerary accordingly.
Yes you can, they may be a lightly higher cost, but it’s certainly doable.
