11–12 hours.
Suitable for average fitness; involves short guided walks, steps into a cave, and standing for photo stops.
The tour runs about 11–12 hours as a guided full-day coach loop with multiple short stops for walks, cave admission, and wildlife viewing.
Children can usually join but must be supervised; the cave has steps and low ceilings—check age or height restrictions with the operator.
Seals are commonly seen on rocks and in shallow water, especially in summer, but sightings are not guaranteed—bring binoculars for the best chance.
Tours may be canceled for severe weather; operators often cancel for safety with refund policies—confirm cancellation terms when booking.
