Safety
At Ninepin Group Guides, safety is our top priority. We operate only during good weather and favorable wave conditions to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for all participants. Our guided tours to uninhabited islands are carefully planned to minimize risks, focusing on stable and accessible areas. Before each tour, our experienced guides conduct thorough safety briefings, highlighting potential hazards and providing essential safety equipment when necessary.
Due to the fluctuating weather and wave conditions, we cannot guarantee passage through the sea tunnel cave if sudden weather changes occur. Additionally, the kayaking tour requires personal effort to paddle. Although we provide speedboat transfers and kayak tow services, participants should have a basic level of fitness to join and fully enjoy the experience safely.
