Common Questions
What ages can use the junior courses?
Junior levels are specifically designed for children aged 3 to 7 years; equipment and course elements are scaled for that age range.

How long does the activity take?
The total booking length is about 2½ hours, which includes check‑in, safety briefing, fitting and time on two junior courses.
What is the cancellation policy for bad weather?
Standard policy requires cancellation at least 24 hours prior for a full refund; sessions may be rescheduled for safety reasons though this depends on operator decisions.
