Age Suitability
Sonora Resort enchants all ages and offers families a rich array of experiences for their young adventurers. With our guests’ comfort and safety in mind, however, some age and weight requirements apply to certain activities and amenities. Because of the diversity of wildlife on Sonora Island, it’s important to have adult supervision while exploring at all times.

Safety
Sonora carries a selection of infant, child and adult personal flotation devices and life jackets. All guests must wear a Transport Canada approved personal flotation device while on boat tours, with the exception of enclosed water taxis.
Due to the strong ocean currents and the absence of railings, guests under 13 years of age must wear a personal flotation device and be supervised by a parent or guardian while on the dock.
