We had booked this tour via Trip Advisor with Yo Tours on Mar 21 for 4 pm. Our host at Port Blair told us this was simply not possible since the last boats from Ross return at or around 3 pm. We called Yo Tours to check on the morning of the tour and they called back quickly to say the tour was cancelled! We got a reminder from Tripadvisor the day before the tour and NO communication from Yo Tours until We called and checked. Yo Tours reps were polite and helpful on the day. They also promised a refund without prompting - and we hope it will come quickly. The scary thing is that we found out by sheer chance else would have shown up at the Phoenix jetty at the wrong time and wasted our holiday time. We appreciate these are fluid times but we would have really found it helpful if Yo Tours had called us in advance and let us know since we were in Port Blair only for two fairly packed days . Automated reminders from TripAdvisor are also not helpful since they are not reflecting the latest information.
