  • Q15.   Is it necessary to book sea karting in advance, or can I book on the day of the ride?

    Reservation in advance is recommended, especially during the peak seasons (October to May) due to the fact that the karting slots within the sea might be taken within a very short time.

  • Q16.   What are the benefits of sea karting over other water-based activities?

  • Q17.   What if I want to cancel or reschedule my sea karting booking?

    The majority of operators provide flexible cancellation or rescheduling policies, which may rely on the terms of the booking. Beforehand it is always better to ask the operator about their policies. Weather cancellations such as rough seas are generally charged without penalty and you will be provided with a chance to reschedule on some other day.

  • Q18.   Can I participate in sea karting if I have a recent injury or surgery?

    When you are recently injured or undergone some surgery, you may want to seek advice with your physician before engaging in any forms of physical activities, including sea karting.

The operators mostly advise that the participants should be in good health to cope with the physical requirement of the ride. Make sure to tell your guide about any medical conditions or injuries prior to the ride.

  • Q19.   Is it possible to drive a sea kart in rough weather or high waves?

    No, sea karting is not allowed in rough weather conditions or high waves as it is not safe. Operators are continuously checking weather forecasts and weather conditions at the sea.

  • Q20.   How far can sea karts travel from the shore?

    Short-distance rides near the shore that take place within a range of 3-5km, or sometimes less, depending on the weather and water conditions are typically undertaken using sea karts. This is to ensure that the environment is safe and controlled for the participants and reduces the chances of straying too far away with support boats or beaches. The standard sea karting experience does not include longer trips or island hopping.
