Explore the natural paradise of legendary Iao Valley and the remarkable Maui Ocean Center, the Western Hemisphere's largest tropical aquarium.

Depart from the pier and before long you will be engulfed by the outrageously beautiful West Maui Mountains. Their bio-diversity is extraordinarily rich, even by Hawaii's elevated standards. The jungle-like scenery is equally dramatic upon entering the Iao Valley State Park, the site of a battle that changed the course of Hawaii's history. It was here that King Kamehameha I defeated Kalaikupule and united the Hawaiian Islands. The park's iconic landmark and focal point is Iao Needle, a green-mantled rock outcropping that soars into the air.

After approximately 45-minutes exploring the park, you will drive south to the Maui Ocean Center in Ma'alaea Village for a self-guided visit. The center's diversity of marine life, all of which has been collected around the Hawaiian Islands, is absolutely phenomenal.

Brightly colored exotic fish, moray eels and all sorts of other indigenous species flourish here, and the sights are constantly changing as you cruise along.

After a bit, you will come upon the Brig Carthaginian, a replica of a 19th-century supply vessel. It was intentionally sunk here several years ago and now lies at a depth of 95 feet, where it serves as an artificial reef that attracts countless marine creatures.

Departing from the pier, you will first drive southeast across Maui to lovely Haleakala National Park, home to more endangered species than any other national park in America. You may see Hawaiian geese known as nenes, rare tree heliotropes and Indian almonds. Still, the most spectacular sight will be from atop dormant Haleakala volcano, which soars more than 10,000 feet above the deeply sculpted, richly colored volcanic landscape. If the weather conditions are right, you can catch a glimpse of three other Hawaiian islands.

Next, you will drive to Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm, which grows dozens of varieties of this fragrant flower, whose scent is thought to relax, rejuvenate and renew. All things lavender are available for purchase, including aromatherapy oil, organic body scrubs, and even scented dog shampoo. During your visit, you will be treated to a tasty chicken lunch.

Following lunch, you will drive to Teschi Vineyards on the 20,000-acre Ulupalakua Ranch in Maui's upcountry.

Leaving from the pier, you will first travel along Maui's magnificent coastline, through the isthmus and then follow the Hana Highway for a short time. The falls you will see today are 10 to 40 feet high and all have large pools perfect for swimmers or toe dippers (swimming is optional). It's unusual for a valley to have so many waterfalls so close together. This is truly Maui at its best - gorgeous bamboo and tropical rain forests, fresh-water streams, numerous waterfalls and pools, ferns, flowers and fruit trees. The entire area is a playground of beauty and adventure. Adding to the experience, there is nothing like "showering" under a Hawaiian waterfall.

Your excursion is further enhanced by your hiking guides - expert naturalists renowned in Hawai'i as "walking encyclopedias" in botany, ethnobotany, geology, culture and history. In fact, they won Hawaii's "Eco Tour Company ofthe Year" award in 2010.

LAH-006 MAUI KAYAK & SNORKEL

Tour Price: $155.00

June 15, 2015 08:30 AMDate:

Maui revolves around the water, and this adventurous tour allows you to experience the fun by kayak and snorkeling alike.

Depart from the pier and drive along the shore to Kapalua Bay, whose beach is often ranked among America's best. Situated between two lava points and flanked by coconut palms, beautiful Kapalua is known for its gentle waters and colorful reef fish. Upon arrival, you will receive a safety briefing and paddling instructions before climbing aboard your kayak. Once everyone is ready, you will head out, paddling along the magnificent shoreline while your guide describes the history of the area and points out the most noteworthy attractions.

Before long, you will stop to snorkel at the natural coral reefs that have grown over the ancient lava formations on the sea bottom. Two outstretched lava arms protect Kapalua Bay, so the conditions in the water are usually perfect. As you glide along the surface, you might see curious triggerfish, flamboyant wrasses, acrobatic spinner dolphins, and graceful green sea turtles. If you're here from November to April, look for migrating humpback whales breaching the water's surface, as more than 10,000 of them pass by each year.

After nearly 1-hour of snorkeling, you will re-board your kayak and enjoy a leisurely paddle back to shore where your transportation awaits to transfer you back to the pier in Lahaina.

Please note: This tour includes approximately 2-hours of moderate to strenuous paddling in the kayak. Participants should be in good physical condition and be good swimmers who are comfortable in the water. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns and not suitable for those with heart or back conditions. Guests should wear swimsuits and a cover-up; sun caps; sunglasses; sunscreen and appropriate footwear (sturdy sandals with a back-strap are recommended) along with bringing a towel and waterproof camera. Minimum age to participate is 11 years old and persons under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult parent or guardian. Maximum weight allowance is 260 lbs.

Duration: 1.50 Hrs

LAH-007 MAUI WHALE WATCHING

Tour Price: $95.00

June 15, 2015 08:30 AMDate:

Each year, thousands of humpback whales migrate to Hawaii, and there's no better way to watch the show than on this breathtaking excursion.

Depart directly from the pier aboard a Trilogy Catamaran, a vessel specifically designed for excellent viewing. The waters off Maui attract thousands of humpback whales from November to April, so the chances of seeing these behemoths are great. Humpbacks, which are named for the big arch in their back when they dive, migrate nearly 3,500 miles from their feeding grounds in Alaska to their breeding grounds in Hawaii.

The whales are drawn here for several reasons. Newborn humpbacks don't have a protective layer of blubber and require warm water like Hawaii's to survive. Warm water also protects the whales from their only natural predator-the killer whale, which lives in cold water. Ironically, as conducive as Hawaii's waters are, they are relatively nutrient-free, so the adult whales are fasting here. However, the calves are nursing, each one ingesting 50 to 100 gallons of milk daily.

Although humpbacks dive underwater for 5 to 15 minutes, it's an amazing sight when they come up to breathe. You may see them breaching, tail slapping, or spy hopping, which is when they just poke their heads vertically out of the water to look around. It's a breathtaking spectacle that's not to be missed.

After approximately 90-minutes spent on the water watching for whales, you will return to the pier.

Please note: There is a very limited amount of walking on this tour; however, participants must be able to step between the pier and the catamaran and vice versa, to enter and exit. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and those with mobility concerns are cautioned to evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Those who suffer from motion sickness should take appropriate precautionary measures. Casual clothing; sun cap; sunglasses; sunscreen and flat, comfortable walking shoes with a non-slip sole are suggested. While there is a good chance of sighting whales, it is not guaranteed.

Duration: 2.25 Hrs

LAH-008 PANORAMIC MAUI

Tour Price: $85.00

June 15, 2015 08:30 AMDate:

This wonderful jaunt into Maui's western countryside hits highlights like Iao Valley and still leaves plenty of time afterwards to further explore Lahaina on your own.

Depart from the pier for an inspired driving tour of western Maui. Leaving Lahaina, once an important whaling village and the capital of the Hawaiian kingdom in the early 19th century, you will immediately be struck by the beauty outside of town.

Traveling south along the coast, you will have views of sandy beaches, sparkling turquoise waters and the islands of Lanai and Kahoolawe which lie not too far off shore. You will then head inland, marveling at breathtaking vistas of the West Maui Mountains on one side and the majestic Haleakala Crater on the other, while en route to the phenomenal Iao Valley. The Hawaiian word "Iao" means "cloud supreme," a reference to the white puffs of clouds that often linger about the valley, bringing rain and nourishing the lush, bright green landscape. The valley has always been considered sacred, and Hawaii's high chiefs were buried here in secret hiding places. It's also historically significant as the site of a watershed battle in 1790, when King Kamehameha I defeated an opposing army and unified the Hawaiian Islands.

The most iconic of all the sights here is the Iao Needle, which rises majestically from the valley floor. It is often visible throughout the valley and, during times of war, was used as a lookout.

After completing your scenic loop of Iao Valley, you will travel back to the pier in Lahaina where your tour concludes.

Please note: There is a limited amount of walking on this tour at the Iao Valley to get a better of view of the Iao Needle; however, this is optional. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, can make their own way on and off the coach and have a companion to assist them. Casual clothing and flat, comfortable shoes are suggested.

LAH-009 CATCH A WAVE SURF LESSONS

Tour Price: $135.00

June 15, 2015 08:30 AMDate:

The surf is always up off Lahaina, and this tour teaches you how to ride the waves and experience the thrill of the ancient Hawaiian sport of surfing.

Take a short walk from the pier to the surf school on Lahaina beach. The school's expert instructors have the skills to get anyone up on a surfboard to enjoy the sport firsthand. You will begin on the beach, where you will learn the basics, including how to stand on a surfboard, keep your balance and maneuver.

Before long, you'll catch on and even develop your own style. For instance, some people prefer to ride with their right foot forward, known as "goofy foot," while others feel more comfortable with their left foot forward. There's no right or wrong way-it's up to you.

Once you've got the basics down, you'll enter the water and paddle out to where the waves are breaking. Pick a spot, time a wave, start paddling and jump up on the board. You'll soon see what works and what doesn't and that's the fun of it. You might be surprised by how well you do, even if you're a novice. The excitement of riding a wave is something you'll remember forever, especially in a setting as ideal as Lahaina's beach, where the ancient Hawaiians surfed.

Afterwards, feel free to remain at the beach and relax. You can walk back to the pier on your own, or return at the end of your surfing lesson.

Please note: This tour includes approximately 2-hours of moderate to strenuous activity. Participants should be in good physical condition and be good swimmers who are comfortable in the water.

Participants must sign a liability waiver before being allowed to participate in this tour. Anyone participating in water activities does so at their own risk and responsibility. Photos of your surfing experience will be available for sale after your lesson so it is recommended that you bring money along with you.

Duration: 4.50 Hrs

NAW-008 WAIMEA CANYON & SPOUTING HORN

Tour Price: $65.00

June 16, 2015 08:30 AMDate:

Discover two of Kauai's most remarkable natural phenomena on this mostly panoramic tour: Waimea Canyon, which resembles a tropical Grand Canyon, and the powerful blowhole Spouting Horn.

Starting off from the pier, you'll commence a scenic 2-hour narrated drive west across the island toward Waimea Canyon, one of the true natural wonders of Kauai. En route, learn about the culture, history and legends of this beautiful "Garden Isle", so nicknamed for its lush tropical forests. Known as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," Waimea is a geological wonder more than 10 miles long and filled with crested buttes, rugged crags and deep gorges. Over the millennia, the Waimea River, which originates from Mt. Wailaleale, has carved the canyon out of volcanic rock.

Stopping at the Canyon's lookout point, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of Waimea Canyon and may even see the river winding through the reddish lava bed more than 3,500 feet below. Sometimes, it's a trickle; other times it's a torrent, but the water is always red from the constant erosion of the reddish soil. In fact, Waimea means "reddish water" in Hawaiian.

Re-boarding your coach, it's a picturesque 1-hour drive to Spouting Horn, another natural phenomenon resulting from Kauai's volcanic creation. The blowhole eerily groans like a horn as it spouts water more than 50 feet into the air. According to Hawaiian legend, the sound is caused by a giant lizard that got stuck in the opening while chasing a villager. As you'll see, the groan and spray are actually the result of ocean waves crashing under the shore's lava shelf and being forced out through a small opening.

Following your time at Spouting Horn, you'll return to the pier where your tour concludes.

Please note: This tour includes a limited amount of walking, mainly at the guests' discretion during the stops. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have an able-bodied companion to assist them. Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Guests should be able to sit for extended periods in a coach seat. Casual, weather appropriate clothing and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested.

NAW-001 WAILUA RIVER CRUISE & FERN GROTTO

Tour Price: $95.00

June 16, 2015 09:00 AMDate:

Cruise by riverboat through eastern Kauai's lush hinterlands to the natural wonder of the Fern Grotto, a picturesque prelude to seeing majestic Opaeka'a Falls.

A scenic coach drive brings you to the Wailua River Marina where you'll board a riverboat and meander inland on Hawaii's only navigable river. Relax and enjoy the passing scenery as your guide reveals the area's fascinating history and legends. The first migratory Tahitians settled here in the 12th century and Wailua became the home of Hawaii's early royalty.

As you cruise upriver, you will pass by lush tropical vegetation that creates a truly idyllic island landscape. You may also see kayakers paddling along the calm waters, open grasslands and Mt. Waialeale looming in the background. According to legend, at night ghost warriors walk the ancient river trails to and from the mountain.

Before long, you will arrive at the Fern Grotto, which was formed out of lava rock centuries ago. It's a beautiful setting, cooled by the mists of the waterfall. The fern-covered grotto acts as a natural amphitheater and the acoustics are nothing less than impressive, as you will discover by listening to Hawaiian musicians play traditional wedding songs. The Fern Grotto has long been a popular venue for weddings and it's easy to see why.

After a return cruise down the river, you will re-board your coach and drive into the Valley of the Sleeping Giant. The name derives from the outline of the ridge of nearby Nounou Mountain, which appears to have a giant sprawled across its top. A short walk here affords you a spectacular view of Opaeka'a Falls, where the north branch of the Wailua River cascades over a sheer rock cliff. Afterwards, you will drive back to the pier.

Please note: This tour includes a limited amount of walking, mainly over flat surfaces. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and touring boat, and have an able-bodied companion to assist them.

NAW-007 GARDEN ISLAND WATERFALL TOUR

Tour Price: $165.00

June 16, 2015 09:00 AM, 10:00 AMDate:

Horticulture buffs will love this limited participation tour of idyllic McBryde and Allerton Gardens, which National Geographic's Traveler magazine named one of the world's top 50 must-see attractions.

Departing from the pier, you will drive to the southern tip of Kauai, home to the Allerton and McBryde Gardens, which were created by a Congressional Charter and are now governed by the National Tropical Botanical Garden. First, you'll meander through Allerton Garden, which was initially designed in 1938 by millionaire Robert Allerton and his adopted son, John Gregg. The garden includes open meadows, shady ravines and rugged cliffs, all consisting of fertile volcanic soil. Certain areas are devoted to exotic palms and tropical gingers and you will find hillsides blanketed with fragrant plumeria trees. Colorful bougainvillea spills over the cliffs, and star fruit, Ceylon gooseberry, and horseradish trees flourish in the orchard.

It's a veritable paradise, as is neighboring McBryde Garden, which began to take shape in 1970. It contains the largest collection of Hawaiian plants in existence, many of them extinct in the wild. Several species of plant, such as the "canoe plant," are descendants of ones brought to Hawaii centuries ago by the founding Polynesians, who wanted to ensure that they had plants for food, buildings and medicine.

A tasty deli lunch will be served in the Canoe Gardens, before setting off to see other sights found here, including a serene waterfall and Spouting Horn, a 50-foot-high spray of saltwater caused by the ocean waves rushing under a lava shelf and then exiting through a small hole.

Following your visit, you will rejoin your transportation and return to the pier in Nawiliwili.

Please note: This tour includes approximately 3-hours of moderate walking that includes uneven natural surfaces and gravel paths. Total is distance is approximately 1 1/2 miles.

From the pier you'll transfer via van to the town of Lihue, where you'll board a modern air-conditioned jet helicopter. During the next 45 minutes, you'll fly over some of Kauai's most dramatic, impossibly beautiful landscapes. Enjoy a bird's-eye view of lush valleys, spectacular waterfalls, and majestic Waimea Canyon on the island's western side.

Known as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," Waimea is a geological wonder more than 10 miles long and filled with crested buttes, rugged crags and deep gorges. It's an amazing sight, especially from the air. You'll also soar over the Na Pali Coast, whose characteristic sheer cliffs plummet thousands of feet into the ocean.

Following your unforgettable helicopter ride, you'll re-join your van and drive to Kauai's enchanting North Shore. At the Kilauea Lighthouse, which was built in 1913 more than 200 feet above the water, you'll enjoy a stop for photos. Being a wildlife refuge, the surrounding acreage serves as a sanctuary for seabirds, and you may spot frigates, shearwaters and albatrosses.

Continuing on, you'll spend several hours exploring the luxurious Princeville area and lovely Hanalei Town, which is surrounded by fields of taro and emerald-green mountains. Be sure to take a stroll on the town's pier. Constructed in 1892, it gained fame in the classic 1957 film "South Pacific." Before returning to the pier in Nawiliwili, you will be treated to a deli-style picnic lunch on Anini Beach.

Please note: This tour includes a varied amount of walking at the stops, including uneven and sandy terrain at the beach stops. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and not recommended for those who suffer from motion sickness. Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Participants must be able to enter and exit the helicopter on their own. Furthermore, it will be required to advise the Destination Services Desk of your weight at least 36 hours in advance of the tour's departure and guests weighing over 250 lbs. will be given a second seat and assessed an additional surcharge of $250.00. Casual, weather appropriate clothing; sun cap; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested. In the event the flight portion of the tour is canceled due to unsafe flying conditions, a partial refund will be given. DVDs of the flight will be available from the helicopter provider at the end of the tour.

NAW-003 PANORAMIC KAUAI - KILOHANA PLANTATION & OPAEKA'A FALLS

Tour Price: $85.00

June 16, 2015 09:30 AMDate:

Explore the fascinating history of eastern Kauai by visiting several natural attractions and then riding a train through the grounds of a former sugar cane plantation.

Your tour begins with a short drive to Opaeka'a Falls and the Wailua River, both of which you'll see from roadside lookouts. Opaeka'a means "rolling shrimp" in Hawaiian, a reference to the freshwater crustaceans that were once plentiful here. These spectacular falls cascade down a soaring volcanic-rock cliff and make for a nice photo opportunity.

Next, you'll visit the Wailua River Complex, designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1962.The tranquil Wailua, the only navigable river in Hawaii, is just as extraordinary as it's framed by tropical landscape. Centuries ago, Hawaii's early royalty lived in the area, which was considered sacred. Poli'ahu Heiau, a place of worship that dates back to the 15th century, if not before, is a reminder of that period. Its surrounding walls were constructed without mortar by commoners using rocks from the Wailua River. The ceremonial structures inside were made with perishable materials that have long since decomposed. Nevertheless, it remains an impressive sight to see.

Continuing on, you'll visit Kilohana Plantation and board the train that runs through its grounds. Originally built to transport sugar cane, the train now offers relaxed sightseeing through fields of taro, noni, mango and other exotic Hawaiian crops. After the train ride, enjoy some free time to explore the plantation mansion, a beautiful 16,000-square-foot home furnished with period antiques that sugar baron Gaylord Parke Wilcox built in 1936. For rum connoisseurs, the home also houses an on-site rum tasting room.

Following your time at Kilohana, you'll rejoin your coach and travel back to the pier.

Please note: This tour includes a limited amount of walking, mainly at the guests' discretion during the stops. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and train, and have an able-bodied companion to assist them. Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Casual, weather appropriate clothing and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested.

NAW-005 HOLLYWOOD IN HAWAII - MOVIES AND WATERFALLS

Tour Price: $165.00

June 16, 2015 09:30 AMDate:

Naturally beautiful Kauai has been the setting for some of Hollywood's most famous movies and TV shows, and this tour visits many of those spots, which you're sure to recognize.

It's a relaxing drive from the pier into Kauai's spectacular countryside, a land so beautiful it's frequently featured in motion pictures and television shows. Your coach is probably more appropriately referred to as a "Theater on Wheels" because driving along, you can actually watch some of the scenes shot on Kauai on its surround-sound TV screens. The film clips will play while you're at the very locations where they were shot.

You'll see thundering Wailua Falls, which appears in the opening credits of "Fantasy Island." Nearby Opaeka'a Falls is also well known for its role in the 1960 Jack Lemmon movie "The Wackiest Ship in the Army." Then, there's gorgeous Hanamaulu Bay, where parts of the 1958 film "South Pacific" were filmed, as were many lesser-known movies such as "Voodoo Island," starring Boris Karloff.

Elvis Presley's popular "Blue Hawaii" is considered the most famous movie ever shot in Kauai. It was filmed in the Coco Palms Resort, which has been closed since Hurricane Iniki roared through in 1992. But you'll still have the rare opportunity to visit. Later, you'll see Moloa Bay and Aliomanu, both of which were featured in the pilot for "Gilligan's Island."

Not only does this comprehensive tour showcase a wealth of film locations, you'll hear what the stars did while they were here. It's not all about movies though, because you will also learn about Hawaiian myths and legends, the language and the local flora and fauna.

Before returning to the ship, you'll be treated to a relaxing picnic lunch on Annini Beach, seen in the film "Honeymoon in Vegas."

Please note: This tour includes a varied amount of walking at the stops, including uneven and sandy terrain at the beach stops. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Casual, weather appropriate clothing and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested.

NAW-002 TUBING THE DITCH

Tour Price: $175.00

June 16, 2015 10:00 AMDate:

Get adventurous by riding an inner tube along a flowing manmade canal that has you traveling down cascading flumes and through several tunnels in the breathtaking Kauai backcountry.

It's a short transfer from the pier into Kauai's emerald-green interior and the historic Hanamaula Ditch. Painstakingly carved by hand out of the gorgeous countryside in the early 1900s, the canal originally served as an irrigation system for the Lihue Plantation, one of Hawaii's oldest sugar cane plantations. It takes approximately 500 gallons of water to produce one pound of sugar, so the canal was essential to business. Nevertheless, by the beginning of this century, demand waned and the plantation closed. Before long though, was re-opened for float trips, as it cuts through some of the island's most beautiful and remote land, land which was never before open to the public.

Upon arrival, you will receive your safety briefing and make your way to the start point. No skills are involved in your ride other than sitting in the center of a large inner tube and going with the flow. The waters, which originate from rainwater off Mount Waialeale, will gently carry you along. Your float travels down approximately two miles of the canal, which is flanked by tropical rainforest and includes some exhilarating flumes and several tunnels. Some of the tunnels are quite lengthy, but you'll still be able to see easily as your headlamp will light the way.

Afterwards, you'll travel to a nearby swimming hole where you will have time to relax, be treated to some complimentary snacks and go swimming in the pristine waters before it's time to head back to the pier.

Please note: This tour includes a limited amount of walking; however the trails can be muddy and slippery and there are several stairs to negotiate to enter the canal system. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests, those with mobility concerns, back problems, or pregnant women. It is not recommended for those who suffer from claustrophobia. Guests must be at least 5 years old and children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult parent or guardian. There is a minimum height requirement of 43 inches and the maximum allowable weight is 300 lbs. Swim suits or quick drying shorts and shirts; sun cap; sunglasses; sunscreen; insect repellant; a towel; and flat comfortable walking shoes are suggested. Water shoes and headlamps will be provided. Guests participating in any water activities do so at their own risk and responsibility. The tour operator may require participants to sign a waiver before being allowed to participate in the tour.

NAW-004 KAUAI CANOPY ZIPLINE

Tour Price: $195.00

June 16, 2015 10:00 AMDate:

Soar over the Kauai backcountry on an exhilarating zipline that carries you down a mountainside into the lush valley below.

It's a 30-minute scenic transfer from the pier to the zipline, located in a remote expanse of land in the heart of the backcountry. It's an area rarely seen by the general public, but you'll view its thousands of acres from high in the sky on seven different ziplines.

After a briefing by certified instructors, you'll harness up and begin your adventure. Zipping along from platform to platform, you'll fly through the air descending the mountainsides, gliding over the valleys, and passing through openings carved out of the tropical landscape. Here, deep in Kauai's verdant interior, the native flora flourishes and the sights are spectacular in every direction. It's as if every acre is blanketed in a different shade of green.

Finally, arriving at the valley floor, you'll enjoy a light snack in a bamboo grove, where you can share the thrills of your zipline tour with the other adventurers. During free time, you can swim in a natural pool nearby, relax in the sun, or simply wander about exploring the unspoiled landscape. Afterwards, re-board your coach and drive back to the pier.

Please note: This tour includes a limited amount of walking; however there are several steps to negotiate. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests, those with mobility concerns, back problems, or pregnant women. It is not recommended for those who suffer from a fear of heights.
