Shared tours
You join other guests on a set schedule. You pay per person. Some shared tours need a minimum number of guests to run.
Private tours
Your group gets the boat or the guide to itself. Prices are often per boat or per group, or a higher per-person rate. You can usually shape the timing.
Which fits you?
- Couples and solo travelers: shared tours are often simpler and cost less.
- Families with young kids: private lets you set the pace.
- Big groups: a private boat can cost less per person than many shared seats. Do the math.
Every tour on this site says whether it's private or shared, taken from the operator's own page.
