Operating rules

Whilst we comply with all applicable regulations in force, we expect visitors to exercise good judgement and act in a responsible manner to safeguard both their own health and safety and that of those in their care, especially minors, for whom they are the guarantors and for whom they must be vigilant at all times.

In this regard visitors (i) must READ AND COMPLY with all written rules, directions, warnings and recommendations and make proper use of the leisure facilities and safety equipment, if any, provided, and (ii) COMPLY WITH AND RESPECT all instructions and directions given by our staff.

It is essential that visitors who have people in their care who, either because they are minors or because they are people with disabilities, cannot adequately read or understand the rules, instructions, warnings and/or written recommendations, explain and remind them whenever necessary, without prejudice to the Selwo Aventura staff being able to provide all necessary assistance.

Therefore, visitors must act responsibly for their own health and safety, as well as for the health and safety of their dependents and others around them.

Thus, each visitor assumes the commitment to adopt a civic and considerate behaviour, both with other visitors and with the staff of Selwo Aventura (hereinafter, the "Park"), obliging them to respect Selwo Aventura and its facilities, other visitors, employees, as well as the flora and fauna.

Visitors who, in the opinion of the Park staff, do not comply with the rules and instructions of the staff and/or act irresponsibly and/or disrespectfully towards other visitors and/or the staff, may be expelled from the Park without the right to claim any reimbursement. The Park reserves the right to bring such behaviour to the attention of the relevant authorities.

Please refer to the general operating rules of the Park described below, as well as the guides and specific rules published at the entrance of each of the leisure facilities, as well as the general operating rules of Selwo Aventura described below.
