Good to know
This tour suits confident ocean swimmers who want expert-led discovery without the cost of a private booking. You must be able to swim at least 50 metres unaided and float for 60 minutes continuously—non-swimmers should book a private tour instead. Not recommended if pregnant or if you have poor cardiovascular health; moderate fitness is expected. The tour is weather and tidal dependent; check conditions on the day. Public transport reaches the beach; no hotel pick-up is provided. Bring your own towel and change of clothes. Group sizes vary but remain small enough for the guide to manage safely.
