Is there a Booking Fee?

We do not charge booking fees for the services we provide. All prices quoted are the same as those offered by the operators directly. We only charge you a deposit to secure your booking, the remainder of the payment is payable to the activity company on the day of travel (unless specified). When collecting tour deposits we do not charge credit card fees. If taking full payment a credit card processing fee may be charged, though charges and fees are to be determined on an individual basis.

Terms and Conditions – Tour Bookings

To secure a reservation we would request a specified deposit amount to confirm each booking. The deposit amount will vary according to the total cost of each tour, dependant on your choice of the individual or combined tours in question. Tour deposits are non-refundable; unless in the eventuation that the tour operator elects to cancel due to inclement weather. In that case you will be issued a refund of deposit. Tours may be rescheduled to travel at a later date without penalty though the possibility of rescheduling tour dates will need to be determined on an individual basis, according to the tour individual tour operator’s availability and policies. The final balance of payment (monies owing on the tour) on day tours can usually be paid to the tour operator on the day of travel/tour commencement (unless specified). For extended, accommodated or live-aboard tours the individual tour operator’s policies may differ significantly; especially for such extended tours such as Cooktown Tours and Cape York Safari options as well as the longer / extended liveaboard Dive Excursions. Please apply for actual terms and conditions for specific tours on making an enquiry or making a booking. The tour operator reserves the right to cancel tours and amend prices, itineraries and days of operation as required. Clients are strongly advised to take out travel insurance. At times it may be necessary to provide alternative transport and/or amend a tour’s itinerary. Refunds are not available for wet weather or for changing weather conditions unless the operator makes a decision to cancel accordingly. No refund can be given in the event of a non-arrival or for any unused services.
