We ask that you do not leave the event unattended, to help avoid items being taken or damaged while you're away.

We leave it up to guests to know their pet's ability to be polite during an experience. For picnics, keep in mind that some setups include fragile items (like pillows), so it's best to leave especially energetic or excitable pets at home.

Please notify the curator of any damages. Damages will be inspected, and if determined to be the customer's responsibility, we'll work with them to resolve the matter.

We will work to reschedule your experience within your time in Zanzibar, at no additional cost.

Life happens — if you need to cancel due to weather or any other reason, that's no problem. We ask for at least 48 hours notice if possible.
