It will take approximately 150 minutes to get to Eco Silence.

WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS TOO BAD FOR THE RIB BOAT ACTIVITY TO OPERATE?

In October the weather can be changeable, so if the sea is too rough to run this activity then we will do our best to find a suitable alternative or to run the activity on an alternative day. However, it might not be possible to operate this excursion or to provide a refund for the missed activity due to force majeure circumstances.
