Children with good trail discipline can join, but the tour requires quiet, steady movement—check age limits with the operator and supervise closely.
Walks may continue in light rain; heavy rain can cancel for safety and wildlife welfare—bring a packable rain shell and confirm cancellation policy when booking.
