Weather considerations and Cancellations By Us

In the event of inclement weather (heavy rain, too much wind, storms etc) we may cancel the tour. Where we deem this necessary, we will provide you with the option of a full refund where other suitable arrangements cannot be made.

Weather considerations such as wind, heat, potential rain as well as other considerations such as trail closures and events etc will can impact the route taken on the day. Where we feel the altered route materially alters the nature of the experience we will offer you the option of a refund or rebooking, where we deem the change still allows for the tour to be delivered inline with the tour description the tour will proceed as per normal.

While we are happy to work around weather conditions, the exact nature of the weather will be considered in any decision. We will not conduct an activity, even if the participant requests it, where we feel weather presents an unreasonable risk. Conversely, we cannot necessarily alter a tour time because it is cloudy or for some other factor that cannot reasonably be expected to significantly impact the delivery of the tour, this includes light rain or the forecast of rain.

Minimum Groups Size and other reasons for Cancellations By Us

All group tours are subject to minimum group sizes being met. It is very unusual for us to cancel due to minimum numbers not being met but it does happen from time to time. Where this occurs you will be contacted the day prior to your tour. You will be offered your choice of a full refund or rebooking on an alternative tour.

Although we have numerous staff, tours can unfortunately be occasionally impacted by staff availability due to factors such as illness. Where this occurs you will be contacted as soon as possible. You will be offered your choice of a full refund or rebooking on an alternative tour.

Rider Height and Bike Sizes

When booking you’re are required to list all rider heights. Bikes are allocated to you based on that information. Failure to provide accurate rider heights may result in suitable bikes being unavailable. Where this is a result of providing in accurate rider heights no refund will be provided if you can not participate. Please double check you have provided accurate information, it is your responsibility to provide accurate information to us.

We only have a limited capacity to cater to bike riders under 145cm, if we will have any issues securing appropriate bikes (based on the heights you provide) we will contact you to make alternative arrangements.

Equipment Requirements

If, for any reason, a participant chooses to provide their own equipment for a tour, it must be of a standard that doesn’t represent an unreasonable safety risk to the individual or other participants. We have a duty of care to all participants. Unsafe bikes pose a risk not only to the rider but other participants and trail users too. We cannot allow anyone to participate on unsafe equipment. There will not be credits or refunds if you cannot participate due to the unsafe or unsuitable nature of equipment you choose to provide 

Route, FITNESS and Skill Considerations

Furthermore, it is assumed they possess the required fitness, stamina, resilience, self-awareness and respect for their own safety and the safety of others to participate in a safe and suitable manner.

Where it becomes evident that this is not the case, at the sole discretion of the instructor or guide, the program may be modified, the participant may be placed in a different group or may be prevented from participating all together. Credits or refunds in these situations will be at our sole discretion and will be made with regard to the exact circumstances at the time.

It probably doesn’t need to be said but no one will be able to participate if they are under, or appear to be under, the influence of alcohol or drugs (*illicit or not).

Courtesy Bus Considerations

Reservation Required For Access to Courtesy Bus:

Our courtesy bus service is available at no additional charge on SELECTED tours and can be utilised upon request for those tours. However, it’s subject to availability and must be booked as part of your initial tour reservation. You can make this arrangement during the checkout process. Please be aware that if the option to select the bus service is not visible, it may already be at capacity, requiring you to arrange alternative transportation or choose another tour time.

courtesy Bus is One-Way Transportation Only:

Kindly note that the courtesy bus operates as a one-way service ONLY to get you to the tour start point. Given the central locations of tours, with close proximity to cafes, public transport, and ample Uber services, participants often prefer to return to their accommodations or explore additional activities at their own convenience.

Infants and Toddlers can not be ACCOMMODATED on courtesy Bus:

Please be aware that the courtesy bus is not equipped with baby seats, making it unsuitable for young children who require such seating arrangements.

Fixed Pick-Up Locations for courtesy Bus:

Our bus serves multiple tours, ensuring that you arrive at your destination punctually. However, it may not always offer direct transportation. You will be required to proceed to one designated pick-up points as per your tour booking. We do not pick up from custom locations or accomodation

missed bus pick ups

Missing a fixed pick up time or not booking a space on the bus if required that can not be later provided will not be grounds for refunds. As always credits or rebooking MAY be offered at our discretion. The free courtesy bus runs to a strict schedule and is used for multiple tours. It will depart each pick up location at the stated times. We will not be in a position to wait, pick you up from alternative locations or contact you to ascertain your ETA. Please make sure you are familiar with the pick up locations including how long it will take youth reach them.
