Please note the following important information:
1. as a volunteer-run organisation, we'd prefer to receive at least one-weeks' notice for bookings. Please book in advance!
2. for safety reasons, we cannot guarantee access to the Figure 8 Pools. Access is dependent on tidal and weather conditions, but we will of course do our best and it will be a great experience nonetheless!
