Frequently asked questions
What time does the walk start?
The start time varies each day because it is scheduled around the low tide window. Your confirmed booking will include the specific time for your chosen date.
How long does the walk last?
The duration is not fixed — it depends on the low tide schedule on the day. Your guide will advise on the expected length when you meet.
Is this suitable for young children?
Yes. Children under 5 are free of charge, though no seat is reserved for them on the transfer. A maximum of one free child is permitted per two paying adults.
Do I need to be physically fit?
The walk is on a beach and involves stepping around rock formations and tide pools, so a basic level of mobility is helpful. It is not a strenuous activity.
What if the tide conditions change on the day?
Low tide timing is determined by nature and can shift. The operator schedules the walk to align with the best conditions, but exact timings may adjust slightly.
Can I cancel if my plans change?
Cancellation terms are confirmed at checkout. Check the policy shown on the booking page before completing your purchase.
