Expect approximately 1 to 1.5 hours each way depending on traffic, typically around 80–90 km (50–56 miles) on the A12 and ring roads.
The tour involves significant walking on uneven surfaces and stairs; it may not be suitable for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility.
Operators emphasize punctual returns; missing the scheduled pickup can result in being left ashore—confirm exact pick-up instructions beforehand and follow the guide’s timeline.
