The Company reserves the right to cancel any trip due to insufficient sign-up (not meeting the 2 person minimum), which makes the trip economically unfeasible to operate or for any other reason.

Cash refunds will not be given.

8. Prices, Surcharges and Validity

As we publish our prices in advance, we may occasionally be faced with significant cost increases due to factors over which we have no control.

Surcharges will be calculated according to the full extra cost, compared to the original costs and exchange rates.
