All prices are quoted in US Dollars. These are based on confidential contract prices provided to us by New Zealand and Australian suppliers and therefore we cannot provide an itemized breakdown of component costs.
All prices quoted for your vacation itinerary are subject to change brought about by currency fluctuations between the New Zealand and Australian dollars and the US dollar. These are currency fluctuations that might occur between the date we provided your quotation and the date of your final payment.
Likewise, any changes to local taxes both in the U.S. and in New Zealand and Australia will be included in the final costing.
A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 per person is payable at the time that you instruct us to proceed with making your reservations.
Some individual resorts and cruise companies also require deposits, and if so, you will be notified at time of booking.
Final payment is due no later than 60 days prior to departure.
For all bookings made within 60 days of departure from the U.S. full payment is required upon confirmation of your reservations.
Payment constitutes acceptance of all Terms and Conditions as described on this website.
Our preferred method for all payments is by online bank transfers, although credit cards are also accepted at a small surcharge.
Once an itinerary has been confirmed and is under deposit or final payment, any subsequent change required by the client will incur a change fee of $50.00 for each change.
If it is necessary for you to cancel confirmed tour arrangements for any reason, cancellation fees will apply in addition to the non-refundable deposit.
Cancellations received between 45 days and 35 days prior to departure from the U.S., will attract cancellation fees equal to 25% of total tour costs, as well as any additional cancellation fees imposed by our contracted suppliers.
Cancellations received between 36 days and 15 days prior to departure from the U.S., will attract cancellation fees equal to 50% of total tour costs, as well as any additional cancellation fees imposed by our contracted suppliers.
Cancellations received within 14 days of departure from the U.S., will attract a 100% cancellation fee of the total tour costs.
We strongly recommend you purchase personal health and travel insurance to cover situations where you might be forced to cancel your travel because of situations beyond your control.
Any booking cancelled, amended or altered within 14 days of your departure will not qualify for a refund. Once travel has commenced, no refunds will be made for any unused portion of the tour arrangements unless the service is cancelled and a refund has been authorized by the supplier providing the service.
To protect yourself from any unforeseen circumstances that might force you to change or cancel your vacation plans we strongly recommend you purchase personal health and travel insurance.
