Bookings / Refunds

Cancellation Policy

If you cancel with 24 hours notice from scheduled departure time, you will receive a 100% refund.
With less than 24 hours notice, no refund is available. Note if you have booked through an Agent
and not directly with us www.qdtours.com.au, you need to check with that Agent regarding their
cancellation policy.

What if I want to change the date of my tour?

As long as you give us 24 hours notice from scheduled departure time, you can change the date of
your tour to another available date. Note if you have booked through an Agent and not directly with
us www.qdtours.com.au, you should do this through your Agent as they may have different policies
/ charges.

What if I am running late or slept in?

No refund is payable if a passenger is not at the departure point at the nominated departure time to
participate in the tour. You are expected to be at the departure point 10 minutes prior to the
departure time for check in. Tours are not held and will normally depart on time. You will not be
offered a different tour. It will make no difference if you contact us to say you are running late. Our
office normally doesn’t open till 9am.

Can I change the name on the booking?

Bookings can be transferred by you to another person at no cost but we must be advised of the
name of replacement passenger.

All tours will depart regardless of rain or other weather conditions unless we are aware of conditions

given if tours are cancelled prior to departure. Tour duration may be reduced for the comfort of
guests in poor weather conditions.
