Please be advised that snorkelling is a physical activity requiring a certain level of fitness and ability.

Recently, there have been instances where guests arriving at snorkelling locations have limited physical capacity to snorkel. While the crew is always on hand to assist with fitting masks and snorkels, delivering safety briefings on basic snorkelling, and helping guests enter the water, there are inherent physical demands associated with snorkelling. We kindly ask that you ensure you are aware of these requirements before participating in these tours. 

The restrictions outlined in the document below align with the Snorkelling Code of Practice 2024, approved under the Safety in Recreational Water Activities Act 2011. As per legal requirements, any passenger who indicates they have a medical condition must complete the form provided at check-in. Please click on the link below should you wish to view the form.
