FAQs

How long will the tour last?
The tour will last one hour.

What time do I need to meet the tour guide?
Please meet 15 minutes before the start of the tour at the designated meeting point. The meeting point will be just after the welcome desk. This allows enough time to put on life jackets and get ready for the tour.

Are there facilities on the boat?
There are no toilet or refreshment facilities on the boat. The Museum has toilets and a well-stocked café for refreshments, which you are welcome to use before or after the boat trip.

Can I take my baby on the tour with me?
Unfortunately, due to safety concerns, we are unable to offer spaces to any children under the age of two, including babies.

Can I transfer my ticket to another day?
Unfortunately tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. If the Museum has to cancel a tour a ticket transfer or full refund will be given.

If it rains is there somewhere dry to sit?
The boat does not have a covered area and is open to the elements. We recommend being prepared for all weather conditions with suitable clothing and footwear.
