Ages on the tours

- Age 9 and over counts as an adult.
- Under 2: not confirmed. Please send us a message before you plan around it.
Toddlers at the viewpoint
A toddler moves faster than a parent expects, and here the consequences are out of all proportion. Hold hands or use a carrier, and stay back from the rim for the entire stop. If two adults are travelling, agree who is responsible at each moment rather than assuming the other one is watching.
A pushchair is of little use on this ground. In our view, if you cannot keep a very active small child under close control, this viewpoint is not the right outing for that child this year.
Rafting with young children
On these tours children may raft from age 2. That is the tour's stated rule, and it does not mean the river suits all young children: the water is cold, it splashes, and some little ones hate wearing a helmet and life jacket. You know your own child, so the decision rests with you.
If you doubt it, look at the difference between the two day types. Selge keeps everyone on dry land.
Making the day easier
- Bring snacks, water and a full change of clothes, whichever tour you choose.
- Explain the rule about the edge before you arrive, not when you get there.
- Keep hats secured, and never chase one near the edge.
- Choose shoes with a real grip for children as well as adults.
