Accessibility – Kanu Kapers is committed to providing access to all. We will always do our utmost to accommodate people who require additional assistance and are familiar with accommodating guests with individual needs.
All activities take place within a national park, so we are unable to make significant changes to the environment. However, we will work with guests and carers to seek solutions that make it possible for everyone to take part in our tours.
