As above we strongly recommend that you contact us before you depart for your activity, however please be aware weather conditions on the day can change quickly and “Activities” can still be cancelled after the event has started should the activity be deemed unsafe. Non attendance on a day will see you lose your “Activity”.

All “Activities” offered subject to the availability of dates, facilities and crew. Bookings should be made as far in advance as possible especially during peak times (weekends and school holidays). We suggest if you plan to book an “Activity” or purchase a voucher for a date at short notice, you should call us to ensure there is still availability before completing the transaction.
