A booking is not permission
Never cross barriers or approach cliff edges for a photograph. Wind, wet rock, crowd pressure and poor lighting increase consequence quickly.
Weather, water, health, ceremony and local access can change the correct decision. Follow qualified operators and current site instructions—even when that means cancelling.
