We weren’t sure about the timing of our slot so we rang in the morning and they said to turn up whenever we wanted - we arrived about 11 and went straight out to sea, but worth noting there were a lot of people queuing for various activities when we came out. There are some worrying reviews on trip advisor about getting into the water and having to walk down a slippy path into the sea, we didn’t find it so bad, just take…”
