Cancellation fees will be levied relative to the amount of notice given as follows:

The above are Adventure Destinations cancellation fees. Airlines and Tour Operators may have additional fees.

CLIENTS NAMES – EXACTLY AS PER PASSPORT
For security reasons, airlines and our overseas suppliers, require names to be given exactly as stated in your passport. It is your responsibility to provide this important information. If you or your Travel Agent do not advise the correct information and we have to re-issue airline tickets or other documentation, then you will incur any fees charged, such as airline cancellation charges or re-issue fees, in addition to Adventure Destinations own administration fee.

ITINERARY CHANGES
Adventure Destinations endeavours to perform all holidays in line with published itineraries but reserves the right to amend or alter itineraries for such reasons as service requirements, seasonal demand, road or weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. Where a change is of a significant nature, it will be advised to all tour participants. Adventure Destinations reserves the right to substitute hotels, lodges, inns and camps with properties of similar standard.

CREDIT CARDS
Non-refundable credit card service fees will be applied to the dollar amount charged as follows: Mastercard and Visa – 1.12%. We do not accept payments via American Express or Diners Club.

LATE BOOKINGS AND AMENDMENT FEES
Any reservations made within 60 days of travel before departure from Australia must be accompanied with either full payment or a credit card guarantee, due to being within the cancellation penalty period. In addition a late booking fee of $55 per file will be charged for bookings made within 14 days of departure. Should you need to alter your original reservations, due to extra administrative and communication costs incurred, there will be an automatic fee charged of $50 per amendment or transaction. Additionally there may be cancellation fees levied by the tour operator or fees may be applicable where arrangements have been pre-purchased.

TRAVEL INSURANCE
It is a condition of your booking that you are adequately insured for the duration of your trip. We recommend a comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation, health requirements, luggage and additional expenses. Insurance policies rarely cover for loss of cash. The choice of insurer is at the sole discretion of the client. We strongly suggest that insurance be purchased at the time the non-refundable deposit is paid, as Adventure Destinations cancellation conditions will be strictly enforced.
