Safety Restrictions & Physical Requirements

Pregnant Guests

Pregnant women are permitted to join this tour, but they must use their best discretion and consult their physician prior to booking.

Please be aware that this tour involves long periods of vehicle transit, walking over uneven historic city streets, and a boat ride that may encounter occasional choppy waters or sudden movements. Sofrito Tours, LLC accepts no liability for any complications arising during pregnancy as a result of participating in this excursion.

Guests with Wheelchairs & Mobility Issues

Accessibility Limitations: Due to the historic nature of the walking stops and the physical design of the private boat charter, this tour is not fully wheelchair accessible. Guests with limited mobility, walkers, or folding wheelchairs are welcome, but must be accompanied by at least one able-bodied companion who can personally assist them with boarding/disembarking the transport vehicles, getting on and off the boat, and entering/exiting the water for the swim. Our tour guides and boat captains are legally and physically unable to lift or physically transport guests.

Swimming Ability: Participants wishing to enter the water at Cayo Caracoles or the Bioluminescent Bay must possess basic swimming skills. While life vests are provided and mandatory, the night swim takes place in open, deep water. If you cannot swim, you are required to remain safely on the boat.

Motion Sickness: Guests prone to motion sickness or seasickness are strongly advised to take appropriate over-the-counter medication (like Dramamine) at least one hour before the tour begins. Sofrito Tours, LLC and its staff cannot, under any circumstances, supply or administer any form of medication to guests (including over-the-counter motion sickness pills, painkillers, or allergy medication) due to legal and medical liability regulations.

⚖️ Weight Limits on the Boat: To comply with Coast Guard safety regulations and boat capacity limits, all guests must be able to safely board the vessel. If any individual in your party exceeds 275 lbs, please contact us prior to booking so we can ensure proper seating and vessel balance.

Vessel Safety & Group Seating (Boat Logistics)
No Individual Weight Restrictions: We have no individual weight restrictions for this experience, and all guests are welcome!

Coast Guard Safety & Balancing: To comply with strict U.S. Coast Guard safety regulations and ensure a smooth, stable ride, our captains balance the vessel's total weight distribution.

Large Groups Notice: Because we must balance the weight across our fleet, larger groups may be split into two or more separate boats for the water portion of the tour. Please rest assured that our boats travel, anchor, and swim together, meaning your entire party will be right next to each other in the water at all times!
