Who can't travel?
Dover Sea Safari advises you not to travel with us if you are pregnant, or have any historical/current backbone /neck pain or injury. However the decision is down to you.

Is the experience suitable for young children?
Yes.
All children must wear the child life-jackets that we supply. The Skipper will take sea conditions into account before allowing infants to travel.

What should I wear?
Generally it is a lot colder at sea than on land. Layers of clothes should be worn as opposed to one or two thick layers. It is also advisable to wear headgear and we would ask that our passengers would wear flat-heeled shoes. Dover Sea Safari will provide you with splash gear however we are not liable in the event of your own clothes underneath getting damaged. We will of course also supply the all important mandatory life-jackets.
