Question 10

Are the safaris suitable for the elderly or the mobility impaired?

Accepted Answer

The participation of our Sea Lion Snorkeling Tours requires a certain level of physical ability (Please refer to our Terms and Conditions). However both boats offer plenty of
seating and suitable space for the elderly, mobility impaired (wheelchair friendly up to a certain width of the chair) if anyone would like to participate as an observer. The boats will have to be entered through a side door (width about 600mm) one of them being on level with the ground, the one on the other boat though requires the use of a metal ramp.
