Terms and Conditions

Once payment is made for the booking, it is deemed that you have read and understood the terms and conditions for the booking. If you have any queries please contact us before making any paying for any service.

Confirmation and Bookings

To confirm your trip arrangements, we require a minimum deposit of 30% of the total package cost with a minimum of 500 NZD per person. This deposit is non refundable. The full payment is required 45 days prior to arrival. If a booking is made less than 45 days before tour commencement, then payment is required in full at the time of booking.

Payment

Payments can be made by credit cards using a secure form through the link we will give you or by bank transfer directly to our account.

Prices and Taxes

All prices are quoted in New Zealand dollars. Quoted costs are subject to change and availability until a firm reservation is secured. Prices include New Zealand Goods and Services Tax (GST) at 15%. We reserve the right to increase prices should there be a change to the GST tax rate or if there are further Government introduced taxes. 
Included in your trip costing is our normal operating costs such as charges and fees for research, itinerary preparation, arrangement costing, etc. As arrangements for each entire tour as specified in the itineraries represent a complete package of arrangements, an itemization of costs will not be rendered. Payment of a deposit will indicate an acceptance of these conditions by the purchaser and/or passengers.

Final Documents 

When all arrangements are completed, a final daily planner and vouchers will be e mailed. In order to maintain our sustainable approach, we do not mail the travel documents any longer.

Travel Insurance

It is recommended that you purchase travel insurance. This is to cover you in case you need to cancel your trip, make any emergency amendments during your vacation or interrupt your trip for a repatriation. Make sure your insurance does cover reasons such as pandemic, war, riots, natural disasters… as we will not proceed at any refund of the unused services.   

Warning: Under New Zealand law it is extremely unlikely that you will be able to sue anyone if you are injured. In addition, New Zealand's accident compensation scheme provides only limited assistance to visitors to New Zealand who are injured. We strongly recommend that all visitors to New Zealand have full insurance covering any injury they might suffer, including medical treatment cover, before undertaking their trip.

Exclusions: To the extent permitted by law, all our liability for damage to your property, disruption to travel plans, or mental injury is excluded. This exclusion is subject to any rights or remedies you may have under the Consumers Guarantees Act 1993. For more information see www.consumeraffairs.govt.nz
