Full Day -
Pack up your sunscreen and snacks because this is the trip you’ll never forget. Spend a whole day exploring the coast with us because we offer more time than a half-day tour so there’s nothing stopping you from going at your own pace without having to rush through it all.
09:30 to 16:30
Half Day -
You don’t need all day on the water to have a good time! Our 1/2-day trips let you experience some of what we do while still giving you some free time when we stop at beaches for swimming.
Morning 09:30 to 13:00
Afternoon 13:30 to 17:00
Our young family trips are designed for families with children of about the same age so you can share in their excitement and fun.
There are no hard and fast rules and if your 11-year-old is taller than mum and is usually found in the front row of his team’s rugby scrum, then feel free to book in with the adults!
