The confirmation voucher includes the local activity operator’s contact details. They’re a nice bunch, and will happily answer any logistical questions you may have. Please give them a call at least 24 hours before your organised activity to reconfirm.
Voucher information: No need to print! You can show your voucher on your smartphone or other devices. (But if you’d rather print a copy – that’s fine too!)
The local tour operator does not carry child safety seats on board and does not have appropriate fixtures to secure such seats. Parents and guardians of children under the age of 12 years must sign a "waiver of responsibility" for the safety of the child whilst on the bus. This waiver releases the local supplier from responsibility for the child's safety whilst on its vehicles. This document must be signed prior to departure of tour.
This activity is adults (and older children) only. Little ones under the age of 5 years will have to sit this one out, we’re afraid.
The vehicles for this tour are licensed to seat a maximum of 24 passengers.
