Booking and Service Terms

Service Inquiries

Submitting an inquiry through our website does not constitute a binding contract. It represents your interest in our services and initiates a consultation process. A binding agreement is formed only when we provide written confirmation of your booking and you remit the required deposit.

Pricing and Payment

All prices displayed on our website are in British Pounds (GBP) unless otherwise stated. Prices are subject to change without notice until a booking is confirmed with deposit payment.

Payment terms are as follows:

  • Deposit of 30% required upon booking confirmation
  • Balance payment due 45 days prior to departure
  • Bookings made within 45 days of departure require full payment at time of booking

Cancellation Policy

Cancellation terms vary by service and timing:

  • Cancellations more than 60 days before departure: Full refund minus 10% administrative fee
  • Cancellations 31-60 days before departure: 50% refund
  • Cancellations 15-30 days before departure: 25% refund
  • Cancellations less than 15 days before departure: No refund

These terms apply to standard cancellations. Force majeure events may be handled differently at our discretion.

Changes and Modifications

We reserve the right to make changes to itineraries when necessary due to weather, safety concerns, local conditions, or other factors beyond our control. We will make reasonable efforts to provide substitute experiences of comparable value.

You may request modifications to your booking subject to availability and any associated costs. Modification requests must be made in writing at least 30 days before departure.

Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance covering trip cancellation, medical expenses, evacuation, and other potential issues. We are not liable for costs arising from circumstances that travel insurance would typically cover.

Participant Responsibilities

You are responsible for ensuring you are physically and medically fit for your selected travel experience. Some activities require specific fitness levels, which are disclosed in service descriptions. You must inform us of any medical conditions, disabilities, or dietary requirements that may affect your participation.

You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining valid travel documentation including passports, visas, and health certificates. We provide general guidance but ultimate responsibility rests with the traveler.
