Rams Bottom Tours Terms and Conditions (including Cancelation policy)
Adjustments of Tour Schedules
We (Rams Bottoms Tours), will strive to deliver the tour as described on our website or, for Private Tailor-made tours, as agreed upon in the itinerary. However, we maintain the right to offer alternative destinations or activities if circumstances beyond our control arise.
Your tour schedule will be adhered to as closely as feasible; however, factors such as adverse weather, road conditions, or the availability of attractions may necessitate adjustments. In such instances, alternative destinations and activities of similar nature will be provided.
If circumstances under our control prevent us from conducting your tour (excluding acts of nature), you will receive a partial or full refund (as per refunds policy) depending on whether the tour has commenced or not.
Refunds Policy
Refunds for credit card transactions will be issued in New Zealand dollars for the original amount. Please note that currency conversions and associated fees, which are beyond Rams Bottom Tours’ control, may apply. Refunds will be processed back to the credit card used for the initial purchase, subject to management discretion.
Cancellation/Reschedule of Vessel
If your vessel cancels or alters its arrival date, and we cannot accommodate your tour as a result, you will receive a refund of the tour cost minus any incurred expenses (typically credit card transaction fees). If your vessel reschedules its arrival and we can arrange the tour accordingly, there will be no extra charges. If the tour cannot be rescheduled for the new date, a refund will be offered according to our Cancellation of Vessel and Refunds policies.
Confirmation of Tour
Your booking will only be confirmed once the full payment has been received by Rams Bottom Tours.
