Frequently asked questions about South Coast tours

 

How far in advance do I need to book a tour?

We would recommend booking your tours as soon as possible. They can get fully booked very quickly. Especially in the summer months.

Can I cancel my tour at any time?

You can in fact cancel at any time, but sadly most tour companies won’t refund you if you cancel less than 24 hours before the start of the tours, unless the tour companies themself cancel because of bad weather, then you’ll be fully refunded. You can see our refund policy HERE which is in line with all of the companies we work with.

Is there any age restriction on tours?

Many tour companies do have an age restriction policy, so I suggest you read well over the information about the tours and then book the one that suits you.
