Due to the extensive organisation and limited capacity involved with our activities, a strict cancellation fee will be applicable to compensate for costs and lost revenue. Once a booking is made the following cancellation fees will apply:

    1. More than 48 hours prior to tour date: no cancellation fee.
    2. 48 hours or less prior to tour date: no refund.

    1. More than 7 days prior to tour date: no cancellation fee.
    2. 7 days or less prior to tour date: no refund.

If you fail to join the tour, join it after departure of the flight, or leave it prior to its completion, no refund can be made.

Tours require a minimum number of guests to operate. If a tour is cancelled due to minimum guest numbers not being reached, guests will be offered an alternate flight date or be provided with a full refund.

If a tour is not able to commence due to inclement weather, a full refund or alternate booking date will be offered.

Our tours are active and most require a reasonable level of fitness. Any guests with mobility concerns will need to inform us at the time of booking so we can advise if we can accommodate your booking and make any necessary arrangements. The company reserves the right not to accept:

Any threats to safety, being physical or verbal, or inappropriate behaviour may result in removal from the flight. If a Pilot requires a guest to leave the tour, no refunds will be given and that guest will be responsible for their own travel costs and arrangements from that point.
