Practical information
You should bring warm windproof and waterproof clothing to suit the time of year. Remember that it is often colder on the water than on land. While on the water, you are either standing or sitting on the sides.
There is room for limited luggage on board, such as small backpacks and handbags. Normally, it is not wet on board, but there may be some spray depending on the weather. Please be prepared for this if you bring devices such as cameras and mobile phones. Such equipment is carried at your own risk.
You are always welcome to contact us if you have any further questions about safety and the trip.
