During the summer time, we depart Monday thru Friday at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and around 6 p.m. for the sunset tour. Spring and Fall depends on several factors, call the week you are here for the current schedule.
We do not absolutely require advance reservations. We prefer to take reservations no more than a week out, it reduces no-shows.
There is no minimum age for children, we routinely have infants on tours, however, we are limited as to the number of seats that are available so every person counts against that number.
