SAFE SERVICE SEA SAFARIS
Protocols to allow for a professional guest experience while helping to stop the spread of the Coronavirus – these measures will ensure a safe and hygienic ocean experience.
While we endeavour to implement the suggested safety and hygiene protocols, keeping safe is also up to every individual.
We encourage visitors to take extra precautions at all times to help stop the spread of the virus. This includes wearing a mask when out in public, keeping a safe distance from others and regularly washing hands.
If visitors feel ill or unwell, we ask them to please remain home, and should they experience any COVID19 symptoms – to please immediately consult with their health professional.
