The Experience
Before You Go
Know the weight limits
Operators require each passenger to weigh no more than 127kg (280lbs); accurate weight information is required at booking and affects seating and safety.
Bring ID for alcohol
Passengers must be 21+ to receive champagne—bring valid government ID if you plan to partake.
Protect your camera
Use a wrist or neck strap and set camera exposure for bright water and glass reflections; phones can overexpose seaside highlights.
Plan for weather flexibility
Flights can be canceled for safety in poor weather—book with a buffer day if this is a once-in-a-trip activity.
