Non-swimmer tour FAQs
Not necessarily, but each operator and vessel is different. Confirm whether staying aboard is permitted during swim or snorkel stops and what seating, shade and restroom facilities are available. Compare the sunset catamaran guide.
A Palo Verde river boat tour is useful to compare because much of the wildlife observation happens from the boat. Boarding conditions and transfers still need to be confirmed. See the Palo Verde guide.
Often yes, provided entering the water is optional. Ask about viewpoints, walking conditions, pool depths, handrails and whether the itinerary works for guests who remain dry. Compare waterfall tours and hot-springs tours.
State clearly that one or more guests do not swim, along with any mobility or comfort concerns. Ask the specialist to confirm every optional and required water component before payment. Use the hotel-area guide to prepare pickup details.
