What are the booking terms and conditions for the Gillespie Pass Alpine Traverse trip?
Weather can be temperamental in our mountains and can impact on trips and planned itineraries and routes. If weather events require the guides to alter the original trip itinerary, every effort will be made to ensure the trip can be enjoyed as planned, and find another amazing alternative where weather is more favourable.
If the trip cannot proceed, some costs that were not incurred may be refunded, such as a heli transfer, however other costs that are absorbed in planning and booking will not be refunded, such as guide costs. The guides may refund up to 50% off trips that do not proceed at all, or offer a credit on future trips. Any cancelled trips are assessed individually for refund options.
If the group are required to stay longer due to adverse weather conditions, additional charges will be made to cover costs. Currently the cost is $500 per party per day + $100 per person per day.
Book one of our scheduled group departure dates or request a private departure. If there are no departures advertised, or the advertised dates don't work for you, request a date that works for you and us, and we’ll advertise it for others to join as a group trip. If a scheduled group trip doesn’t reach the minimum number of guests, you’ll have the option to pay an additional fee to guarantee it goes ahead. This gives you flexibility and peace of mind, ensuring your adventure happens as planned.
Payment:
For bookings made four or more months prior to the departure date, a deposit of NZD$1000 per person is required, with the remainder due 95 days before your trip. For bookings made within four months of the departure date, full payment is required at the time of booking.
Cancellations:
- 45 days or more prior to departure date: Full refund, less $500 per person forfeited.
- 44 to 31 days: 50% of tour price forfeited.
- 30 days or less: 100% of the tour price forfeited.
