FUEL SURCHARGE:

In response to the ongoing situation in the Middle East and its impact on global fuel prices, a temporary fuel surcharge of $5 per person and $14 per vehicle (one way) has been applied to new bookings, effective from 29 April 2026. We have absorbed these increased fuel costs for as long as possible, and this temporary measure is necessary to help manage the significant increase in operating costs. Click here for more information and regular updates. We thank you for your understanding as we navigate this current situation.
