Not recommended for non-proficient swimmers; operators set age limits and often require children to be strong swimmers with flotation if allowed.
Tours commonly cancel or reschedule for bad weather or rough seas; most operators require 24-hour cancellation for a full refund.
Most operators provide snorkel equipment and an assistant to enter the water, but bringing your own mask improves comfort.
