Moderate fitness is expected, and it is not recommended for pregnant travellers or anyone with spinal or heart problems. Lunch is extra. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure.

Before you book
Is the Guided Bike Tour to a Green Tea Farm in Shizuoka (not e-bikes) worth it from the Omaezaki cruise port?
A 4-hour guided hybrid-bike ride from Shizuoka Station to a small tea farm, with a tasting in the farmer's 150-year-old house. Best for: Fit riders who want tea country at bicycle pace and are already in Shizuoka city.
How long a port call do I need for this tour?
About 7 hours. The tour runs 4 hr; add half an hour to get off the ship and keep the hour before all-aboard free. 240 minutes plus 90 minutes is 5.5 hours. Add 45 minutes each way by hired taxi between the wharf and Shizuoka Station and it is 7 hours. It fits the 9-hour Westerdam call on paper, but only with a car booked for both legs.
Can I cancel if my ship skips the port?
The operator's policy: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. The operator may cancel for bad weather, with a refund.
