DivaDuck Tours usually run in light rain and other moderate weather conditions. We keep a close watch on our radar and do not take chances with bad weather. The vehicle is covered but its windows are always open so dress appropriately for the day’s weather. Rain in this area usually passes through fast and sometimes it can be raining in one place and sunny here! So if the forecast calls for rain, it probably won’t affect the tour. In the rare event that a tour is canceled due to weather, we will allow you to reschedule your tour subject to availability, or receive a refund if we can’t find another tour that fits your schedule. No refunds or reschedules will be made if the tour is not canceled.
