Before your visit
- Enjoy a complimentary visit in order to plan your excursion and complete a risk assessment. Please request your pre-excursion visit via our teacher pre-visit booking form. One visit per year is permitted.
- Book your excursion as early as possible to ensure your first choice date is still available. Please note, your booking is not confirmed until you have been contacted by a booking agent. As some periods are busier than others, please make sure you have a few date options in mind when booking.
- Bookings are essential and should be made at least two weeks in advance.
- Payment is made in advance by school cheque or credit card. Students cannot pay individually and we are unable to accept payment on the day.
