is the tour accessible?
We try our best to make this experience available for everyone. However, due to our robust health and safety procedures, and the prevailing sea conditions on any given day, we do have a few restrictions.
As a general rule our boats are unable to accommodate wheelchairs, but we can accommodate passengers who are unable to sit unaided.
Before your booking, please email our Customer Service team about what you would need from us to facilitate your tour experience. We will always do our best to help.
