While activities such as snorkelling and bushwalking are always optional, all tours require guests to be able to safely get on and off their vessels so operators can fulfil their duty of care. Getting on and off vessels usually requires a short ladder climb, and stepping onto boats from a jetty or another boat.

If you have questions about accessibility and your ability to partake in a boat tour, call our friendly team of vessels experts to find the best fit for you.
