If your adventure is canceled owing to an order by the Queensland Chief Health Officer we will fully refund your deposit.
We reserve the right to cancel bookings due to unforeseen circumstances, such as adverse weather or mechanical failure, and fully refund any deposit.
We strongly recommend that our guests purchase travel insurance for peace of mind to cover accidents, illness and unforeseen happenings.
