CANCELATION POLY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE BOOKING
The Nymboida and Boyd Rivers are ‘natural’ flow river systems which means the weather dictates our whitewater canoe tour.
Before booking, please make sure you read and understand the below.
Pending Supplier
For a trip to go ahead there needs to be a minimum of 8 people. Until the booking reaches 8 it will show ‘Pending Supplier’.
If your group size is less than 8 you can either join a group, pay the difference, or enquire about starting a new booking with your preferred date.
Once there are 8+ people we will confirm the trip. You will then receive a ‘pre-arrival’ email (waiver) – please check your spam folder. Email is from ‘[email protected]’. Each person must fill out this form before the trip commencement date. Any persons who have not completed our waiver form will not be allowed to go on the trip.
On Confirmation – your trip will still be pending
After receiving your ‘confirmation’ your trip will show as confirmed, however your trip may still not go ahead due to the following:
1. River Heights – too high or too low. We try to give as much information as soon as we know ourselves and sometimes won’t know until the morning of your trip.
2. There is a chance we will drive to the river and cancel the trip on arrival due to no electronic river gauge in the area. This is very rare!
3. National Parks Closure – this is out of our control. They usually give us 24 hours’ notice however also not limited to.
4. Canoe Guides – availability of guides. Canoe guides are seasonal workers and hold down other full-time employment.
5. Covid Outbreak / Closures / Hotspots – If the government puts out a heath order that affects you from traveling or returning to your home address, we can put your order on hold for a later date (no terms on when you can re-use) This will not be considered for a ‘possible closure’.
