Child policy

KAIKŌURA

can children participate on the tours?

Children are classed as those aged 3 to 14 years (inclusive).

The minimum age limit for children wanting to swim on the tour is 8 years of age, and all children aged 8 to 14 years must be accompanied by an adult both in the water and on board the boat at all times.

All children aged 3 to 14 years watching the dolphins from the safety of the boat must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Children under the age of 3 years are not permitted on the tour.

Management and skippers reserve the right to increase minimum age limits of children participating on the tour if sea conditions are not suitable on the day. Conditions will be assessed immediately before tour time, and if they are deemed unsuitable for children, a full refund is available to those not able to take the tour.
