For security reasons, you may be required to present a valid Photo ID or the credit card used to confirm the booking when redeeming the voucher. This is done to help prevent fraud. If the adventure is purchased as a gift, or for another person please advise us at the time of booking.
Your voucher can be confiscated and immediately cancelled without refund if it has been altered, if the information does not match your Photo ID or if fraud is suspected.

For day adventures, all bookings are non-refundable.
For overnight adventures, the following policy applies:
- Cancellation 30+ days prior to departure will result in the deposit being forfeited.

Each situation is unique but unfortunately there are no exception to these charges.
