Hi Kara!

Thanks so much for checking in with your questions! 🙂

For the canyoning tour, the tour operator’s minimum age limit is more of a general guideline. What’s most important are your daughter’s measurements, specifically her height, weight, and waist measurements, as these details will determine whether she’ll be able to safely fit one of the harnesses that the tour operator has.

Whenever the tour is requested, you’ll likely be asked to provide your daughter’s measurements so the tour operator can have this information in advance. Even if you opt to request the tour now (i.e., nearly a year in advance), it would probably be best to wait until closer to your travel dates to provide the tour operator with the exact measurements, though, since they will likely change over the next year (these can be provided at a later date). What will likely happen in this case is that a request for the tour made now will be processed now (so you can obtain the discount) but will technically remain in “standby mode” until next year when the measurements can be confirmed.

In addition, as a heads up, the tour operator may also ask you to sign a special waiver for your daughter since she’s under their minimum age limit. If they do ask for this, it would be handled the day of the tour.

Pura vida!
