For Marine Experiences
No commissions on direct bookings, ever. Take bookings for dive trips, snorkel tours, sailing experiences, and whale watching 24/7, and keep every dollar when customers book with you directly.
The Challenge
When you're on the water, you're not at your phone. Potential customers ring, you miss the call, and by the time you're back on land, they've already booked elsewhere.
Marine tourism has operational demands that generic booking tools don't account for: session capacity across multiple tour types, equipment availability, weather-contingent scheduling, and diver or group size limits.
Managing all of this manually across your website, a booking diary, and a handful of OTA accounts takes hours you don't have.And at the end of the month, a portion of your revenue has already gone to platform commissions before you've had a chance to count it.

24/7 booking capability, real-time capacity management across all your experiences, automated guest communications, and no commissions on direct bookings. You focus on delivering exceptional on-water experiences. The admin looks after itself.
How It Works
1
List your dive trips, snorkel tours, sailing experiences, and any other sessions you run, with departure times, capacity limits, and pricing. Configure your weather and cancellation policy once. Customers book directly through your branded page, and their contact details are captured automatically from the first booking.
2
Accept bookings while you're out running tours. Availability updates in real time so you never accidentally oversell a session. When you want extra reach, connect to distribution channels on your terms.
3
Own your passenger contact list. Send automated review requests after every trip. Run seasonal promotions to past customers. Stop starting from scratch every season.
Set exact group limits per session or departure time. Availability updates in real time across all your booking channels so you're never oversold. Update capacity for a single departure without affecting your full schedule.
No frantic phone calls to turn away guests. No manual diary updates when something changes.
Capture everything you need at the point of booking: contact details, emergency contacts, experience level, and any other fields you configure. Your group information is ready before the day begins. When guests arrive, check them in by scanning their booking QR code, no paper lists, no manual tick-offs.
Your admin is done before the day starts, not after it ends.

Direct bookings through your Nabooki-powered page carry no commissions. A simple monthly subscription is all you pay, regardless of how many bookings come through your direct channel. Use OTAs where they make financial sense for discovery and reach, but grow the share of bookings where you keep 100%.
Thousands of dollars per quarter that stay in your business instead of being paid to platforms.

Nabooki powers tourism marketplace programs including South Australia's Coast is Calling, giving operators professional booking infrastructure with government backing. We serve everyone from solo operators to major attractions, with the same commitment to independence and control.
I now only spend about a quarter of the time on the phone and quite often when I have a missed call because I'm on the boat providing a lesson, I'll return the call only to find out they have already booked online. The support is great, and help is always available when needed.

We have seen a huge increase in business since offering online bookings, especially for last-minute bookings. Support is great when needed, and the help articles often answer my questions.

Nabooki have been fantastic and super quick to respond to every question. Early on, they identified that the way we were handling our bookings was going to be inefficient and helped set us up in a better way.

The Cost of Waiting
Missed bookings when customers call and you're unavailable
Commission payments eating into your margins
No customer database for repeat business or off-season promotions
Less flexibility to adjust schedules and availability when you need it
Success Story
A couple books a morning dive in January. They love it. Because you have their contact details, you send a personal thank-you.
Six months later, you're launching a new season of trips. You email past customers about it. That same couple books again and brings two friends.
That's the power of owning your customer database. You're not building someone else's list. You're growing real relationships that drive repeat business and referrals.
No commissions, no algorithm changes, no restrictions.
