Prices may change at any time. A price is only fixed once full payment has been received. For pricing on activities not listed below, including group bookings, please contact us. At the SPECIAL prices, children of all ages pay the same as an adult. This still works out cheaper than the usual children at half price under 16, with one child per full fee paying adult ;) Please contact us to pay over the phone with your credit card. Each person booked, incurs a $3.50 credit card charge which is added to the price of your booking. 

​

All sessions require minimum numbers to run. If your are not booking as a group that meets minimum numbers or above, you will be joined to an existing group on a day that has met minimum numbers, or is looking close to meeting numbers. If a session number drops below minimum, for what ever reason, the session maybe rebooked to another day. The same applies to non-favourable weather conditions.
