If we cancel

We reserve the right to cancel a holiday in cases of force majeure or due to extreme unforeseen circumstances. In the unlikely event of this occurring, we will refund you all the money we have received from you for your holiday. We will not be responsible for any other costs that you have paid such as airline tickets, accommodation or other expenses relating to the cancelled holiday. We would advise talking to your insurer about recovering those costs.

If it is not possible to travel

If travel is not possible because of a pandemic like COVID, we will try our hardest to refund you as much as possible with no penalties or fees from us (there may be some penalties from accommodation or boat hire providers beyond our control).
