Spe­cial require­ments
Chil­dren must be 5+ years old and accom­pa­nied by an adult, and it’s rec­om­mend­ed that par­tic­i­pants be com­fort­able with the speed and motion of a high-pow­ered boat.

Restric­tions
This tour requires a mod­er­ate lev­el of phys­i­cal agili­ty, as par­tic­i­pants will need to board an amphibi­ous ves­sel and trans­fer to a high-speed boat. If you have spe­cif­ic acces­si­bil­i­ty needs, please con­tact us in advance, and we’ll do our best to accom­mo­date you where possible.

Dis­claimers
Min­i­mum of 4 pas­sen­gers required to con­firm Sea Safari depar­ture. A full refund will be giv­en in the case where min­i­mum num­bers are not reached.

Tours can be cancelled with no cancellation fee up to 48 hours prior to departure. Cancellations made within 48 hours of departure will be charged in full. If the tour is cancelled by Cygnet Bay due to weather conditions or other unavoidable reasons a full refund will be given.
