Booking
  • Have you decided which trek you would like to do and its departure date?
  • We accept electronic bookings but your place on a trek is not guaranteed until you have paid a deposit of 20% of the trek cost.
  • You are welcome to pay by internet banking (please ask for our bank details) or credit card.
  • Warning: It may not be safe to transmit your credit card number using email. You can print out the booking form and fax or post it to us so your credit card remains secure.

Bookings are accepted by Hurunui Trails and Adventures (the operator) upon the payment of a deposit of no less than 15% of the trek cost and the receipt of a signed booking form.

Payment in full is required no later than 21 days before departure of all multi day tours.

 

Cancellations:

There is a NZ$100 administration fee on all cancellations.

A refund of monies paid less the administration fee is available on the following basis.

 

If notice is received:

  • 30 - 15 days prior to trek departure - 50% refund
  • Within 15 days of trek departing - No Refund

Once a trek has departed no portion of the payment is refundable in the event of an individual being unable to proceed further, for whatever reason.

 

Responsibility:

Client bookings are accepted on the understanding that they appreciate the possible risks inherent in adventure travel specifically on and around horses, and that they undertake our tours at their own volition.

The operator places extreme importance on the safety of its clients. However it is important that clients realise that they are responsible for making themselves aware of the risks involved and are responsible for making their decisions accordingly.

All care will be taken but the operator assumes no responsibility for injury, loss or damage in any way.

Clients agree to accept the authority and decisions of the operators employees, tour leaders and agents whilst on tour with the operator.

If in the opinion of such a person the health or conduct of a client at any time before or after departure appears likely to endanger the safe, comfortable or happy progress of the tour the client may be excluded from all or part of the tour.

The operator reserves the right to alter any itinerary at any time.

The client acknowledges and accepts that although the operator does hold various insurances this booking condition states that the client must assume he/she is not covered by any insurance policy the operator may hold, including all liability insurance for death, injury, damage or any other loss.

The operator advises clients to obtain adequate medical / travel insurance.

The person signing the booking form (which incorporates these terms) warrants that he/she has full authority to do so on behalf of all persons whose names appear thereon, and confirms that all such persons are fully aware of and accept these conditions. Parent or legal guardian must sign for anyone under 18 years of age.
