Plan a St Ives dayQuestions, answered
Before you meet us in St Ives.
Do Tideway Walks tours depend on tide times?
Some coves and shoreline sections do. We publish meeting times after checking local tide and weather conditions, and choose a safe inland alternative when necessary.
How strenuous are the Cornwall coastal walks?
Each route notes gradients and walking surfaces before booking. Most have uneven ground and steps; please contact us if you need a slower or more accessible option.
Are dogs welcome on a private Cornwall tour?
Often, yes, where the route and local seasonal restrictions allow it. Ask us before confirming so we can plan responsibly.
What should I bring for a St Ives walk?
Sturdy footwear, a waterproof outer layer, water and clothing for exposed weather are sensible at every time of year.
