Events (other than Bespoke Events) are based on a minimum number of guests travelling, except where we expressly state that a specific Event date is a guaranteed departure date. We will advise you prior to issuing your Booking Confirmation if this is the case. If an Event fails to satisfy minimum numbers, the Event may be cancelled, rescheduled or re-costed.
We will give you notice no later than 60 days prior to the Event’s commencement. If the Event is rescheduled or re-costed, you will have the option to either accept the rescheduled departure date or the new cost (as applicable) or to cancel your booking.
You must make this election within 7 days of receiving notice from us. If we cancel the Event or if you cancel your booking in these circumstances, we will at your election refund all payments made or credit payments towards an alternative Event.
7. AMENDMENT BY US
Prior to travel
Due to the dynamic nature of the travel & wellness industry, we may occasionally need to make amendments or modifications to the itinerary of your Event and its inclusions and you acknowledge our right to do this.
Most changes will not be significant.
If we become aware of any significant changes to your Event’s itinerary or its inclusions that materially detract from the overall characteristics or value of the Event (where we determine it can still proceed), then we will notify you within a reasonable time and you may elect to:
• proceed with the Event, in which case we will refund you an amount attributable to the reduction in value determined by us acting reasonably; or
• cancel your Event, in which case we will refund the Event Price received by us at that time.
If you do not contact us to make an election within 7 days of us notifying you of the significant change (or within a reasonable shorter timeframe where the change is notified nearer to your Event’s commencement), then you will be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Event.
During travel
You acknowledge that the itinerary, modes of transport, accommodation and/or the Event’s inclusions may need to change during your Event due to local circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to road or rail track conditions, poor weather, changes in transport schedules, cultural considerations and/or vehicle breakdowns. In these circumstances we will endeavour to make suitable alternative arrangements, which may include the use of light aircraft.
Accommodation
Due to the dynamic nature of the travel industry, we may need to substitute hotels, vessels and other forms of accommodation with alternative properties or vessels. We will endeavour for these substitutes to be of a substantially comparable standard. We will endeavour to minimise substitutions. You acknowledge that these substitutions will not be considered a significant change.
General
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
• we will not be responsible for any omissions or modifications to the itinerary of your Event or its inclusions due to Force Majeure or other circumstances beyond our control happening after we have confirmed your booking. This includes any loss of enjoyment or distress caused by omissions or modifications;
• if you are entitled to any compensation for any modifications or omissions, then you agree it will be reduced by the value of any alternative services we provide which you accept; and
• we will not be responsible to you for any other expenses or loss you incur resulting from any amendment or change to the itinerary of your Event or its inclusions.
8. FORCE MAJEURE
Prior to travel
If: (a) in our reasonable opinion we (either directly or through our employees, contractors, suppliers or agents) determine that your Event cannot safely, lawfully or reasonably proceed due to a Force Majeure event; or (b) you give us notice no more than 14 days prior to commencement of your Journey that you cannot reasonably participate in it due to Government Restrictions then we may:
• reschedule your Event, but only if you are agreeable to the rescheduled arrangements; or
• cancel your Event, in which case our contract with you will terminate.
If we cancel your Event, neither of us will have any claim for damages against the other. However, we will issue you with a Credit Note equal to the Event Price received by us. Please note that our ability to issue you with a Credit Note may be dependent on our suppliers issuing corresponding credits to us.
We cannot guarantee that our suppliers will issue corresponding credits. In such circumstances we may instead pay you a cash refund of the Event Price received by us less: (a) unrecoverable third-party costs and other expenses that remain payable by us for your Event Services; (b) overhead charges incurred by us relative to the Event Price; and (c) fair compensation for work undertaken by us in relation to the Event until the time of cancellation.
For the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, an illness, the development of a medical condition or the failure of any commercial transportation not included in your Event is not considered a Force Majeure event.
During Event
If we cancel Event Services due to Force Majeure during your Event, we will provide you at your election with either a refund of recovered third party costs plus any third party costs we don’t incur for the cancelled Event Services or a Credit Note of the same value.
General
If we provide you with any alternative services or assistance where Event Services are cancelled due to Force Majeure which you accept, then you agree that any amount to be refunded to you will be reduced by the value of these services and that assistance.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability to you for cancellations due to Force Majeure is limited to your rights under this clause.
9. PRIOR TO YOUR EVENT
Travel Insurance - Australia
It is strongly encouraged that you are adequately insured for the duration of your Event. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation, medical requirements, medical evacuation, luggage and additional expenses. The choice of insurer is yours. We strongly suggest you purchase insurance at the time you pay your Deposit. This is because cancellation fees may be payable from that time.

If you are not an Australian citizen, it is your responsibility to ensure you hold a valid passport with sufficient validity and any required visas for your Event. It is your responsibility to obtain vaccinations and preventative medicines as may be required for the duration of the Journey.
Health & Fitness
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have a suitable level of health and fitness to undertake the Event. You must complete our ‘Fitness to Travel Form’ within a reasonable time after we issue your Booking Confirmation and in any event prior to travel. We may cancel your booking or refuse to board you without any right of refund if you fail to complete the ‘Fitness to Travel Form’ within a reasonable time after we have reminded you to do so.
Some walking tracks have sections of steep, uneven, rocky ground and may be slippery. Temperatures may be extreme. You are required to have a reasonable level of mobility and to be able to board and alight vehicles unaided by our personnel. Due to space restrictions onboard our vehicles and travel vessels, we are unable to accommodate wheelchairs or walkers. Touring vehicles are not equipped with wheelchair lifts or ramps. If you require special assistance, you must be accompanied by a person who is able to provide such assistance.
Our team members will be pleased to provide general assistance throughout your Event. However, our personnel are unable to meet the needs of guests requiring regular medical attention and are not able to act as carers. If you require special assistance, you must be accompanied by a person who is able to provide such assistance.
If you have doubts about your ability to undertake the Journey, please contact us to discuss your circumstances prior to making a Booking.
Existing Medical Conditions
If you have a medical condition which may reasonably be expected to increase your risk of needing medical attention or special assistance, or which may materially affect the usual conduct of the Event, then you must advise us prior to or at the time you make your Booking.
We may request you to provide an assessment of your medical condition from a qualified medical practitioner. If the assessment indicates that you are not fit to travel or will require special assistance which we cannot reasonably provide, then we may cancel your booking. Provided you notified us of your medical condition prior to or at the time you made your Booking, we will provide you with a full refund of payments received.
If you fail to provide a medical assessment within a reasonable time of our request, then this will be considered a cancellation by you and cancellation fees will apply.
New Medical Conditions
You must advise us of any new or changed medical conditions which may reasonably be expected to increase your risk of needing medical attention or special assistance, or which may materially affect the usual conduct of the Journey.
We may request you to provide an assessment of your medical condition from a qualified medical practitioner. If the assessment indicates that you are not fit to travel or will require special assistance which we cannot reasonably provide, or if you fail to provide a medical assessment within a reasonable time or our request, then this will be considered a cancellation by you and cancellation fees will apply.
General
We may refuse to confirm your Booking or to permit you to commence the Event, and we may remove you from the Event, without any liability on our part and without an obligation to provide you with a refund if you have any illness, injury, disease or other medical condition which makes travel unsafe for you, other guests or our employees.
Dietary Requirements

Special dietary requests are required to be notified to us within 7 days after we issue your Booking Confirmation. We will endeavour to communicate your requirements to relevant suppliers. However, we cannot guarantee requests will be met by suppliers. It is your responsibility to check that meals and beverages do not contain any allergens. We expressly disclaim any liability for meals or beverages that contain allergens other than in circumstances where we have been negligent.
Risk Acceptances & Waivers
You acknowledge that your Event may expose you to inherent personal risks which may be greater than those present in your everyday life. This could be because of the adventurous nature of the Event, travelling through and visiting remote destinations, and interactions with wildlife. You travel on the basis that you accept these inherent risks and that to the fullest extent permitted by law we will not be responsible for any personal injury or death resulting from the materialisation of an inherent risk.
You acknowledge and agree that your participation in certain activities may be subject to you agreeing to a form of risk acceptance and waiver of liability for participation in the activity. Independent Suppliers and Additional Services Principals may also require you to agree to such forms.

If you notify us of a problem during travel and we haven’t resolved it to your satisfaction, please follow this up in writing within 30 days from the end of your Event. This is so we have the opportunity to pursue the claim with our own suppliers (if relevant). Notification of a complaint does not guarantee any particular outcome.
If you fail to follow this procedure, this may limit your rights to make a claim.
