What NOT to do!

Try not to consume much coffee! Some of the inflatables have onboard toilets (heads), however, they are best used emergencies.
Do not bring a small child onto the inflatables. All inflatables require that the children be 10 or older. If you wish to bring a child on a tour then the Cabin Cruiser is the only option.
If you are worried about sea sickness it is often a good idea to have something to eat before you go on a tour. This is because an empty stomach causes hunger pains which ultimately leads to nausea whether you are on the sea or not!
