In strong South Easterly winds (our prominent trade winds), and when sea conditions do not allow, we have an alternative site where we will look to operate from.
The tours operate on most days and vary depending on weather, wind and sea conditions. We do always warn guests if the conditions are a little windy and a more adventurous tour is expected and it is at the guests discretion if they want to take on the adventure!
In extreme weather and sea conditions tours will not operate but if it is just raining... no problem... you are going to get wet anyway!
