When do I pay?

Nothing is paid until we confirm your date, pickup time and final total in writing. Then you pay the reservation fee (PHP 500 per guest per tour day, maximum PHP 5,000). It is part of the price, not extra. You pay the balance in cash on tour day. For example, 4 guests on one tour day pay PHP 2,000 to reserve, and the rest on the day.

Free cancellation and free rescheduling are available up to 24 hours before the activity. Late cancellations and no-shows keep the reservation fee and any supplier costs already paid for your group. If we cancel for weather, safety or a government order, you choose a full refund or a free reschedule. If only one activity cannot run, we offer a replacement activity or a refund of that part, and our team sends you the final refund amount in writing before anything is settled.
