Methods of Payment.
Deposit
The Deposit is fully refundable in the event that the Min number of people for a trip is not reached by 90 days before we depart.
To confirm your booking on an adventure a deposit of between $300 and $750 (depending on trip) is required at the time of your booking. This is a non-refundable deposit (as OTS will incur costs in arranging the trip) But is fully transferable to another adventure in the event OTS is required to cancel any adventure that you are booked on, or you have to change your dates or trip.
Balance of payment can be made any time but no later than 60 days prior to the commencement of the trip.
Due to the nature of Adventure travel and the prices of the resources on which it depends, the published price of any trip is subject to change at any time, before or after booking confirmation, up to 30 days before the departure of such Product.
Before paying in full please insure you have read the Terms and Conditions re cancellation charges and have protected yourself by taking out sufficient travel insurance cover to cover any cancellation charges should the unexpected happen and you have to change your trip.
