Smoking

Please note that due to safety concerns surrounding the equipment, time constraints and in consideration for other non-smoking guests, there is no smoking within the gorges whilst on our tours. 

 

Refunds & transfers

It takes significant time and effort to plan, market and provide tours of this nature. For this reason, if you decide to withdraw your participation in this tour without a good reason, no refund will be provided. All refunds will be assessed on a case by case basis by Spacechameleon. Any medical reason will need to be accompanied by medical certificates. A credit to a future tour will always be our first preference.

The only reason a refund will be offered is if this tour is postponed or cancelled by Spacechameleon (see further below).

Whilst a refund may not be accepted, tickets are generally transferable to others, meaning that if you are unable to attend you can send a friend in your place. All requests for transfers must be made in writing to info@spacechameleon.com.au. Spacechameleon retains full discretion to determine if an alternative person is suitable for participation in this tour in your place. Please note that if a transfer is completed after the abseiling, climbing and via-ferrata training day, the person the ticket is transferred to will need to arrange a private training day with Spacechameleon at an additional cost of $500. This will be subject to Sven’s availability. 

 

COVID 19

If you cancel your adventure with us due to a government ordered COVID lockdown that prevents you from attending your adventure on the scheduled tour commencement date (Tour Date):

• If notified to us more than 14 days before your Tour Date, we will provide you with a full credit of the purchase price already paid by you to be applied towards a future trip or trips with us (Full Credit).

• If notified to us within 14 days of your Tour Date, we will provide you with a Full Credit, less the cost of the Eco-Retreat accommodation already pre-booked and paid by us on your behalf (Partial Credit), which we will not get back from the Eco-Retreat.  This accommodation cost will vary depending on your trip.

If a Full Credit or Partial Credit is not a suitable option for you, we may consider providing a refund or partial refund to you in our sole discretion, taking into account the circumstances of your cancellation and whether we are able to resell your spot to another client. 

 

Weather

Spacechameleon’s tours will normally operate in all but exceptional weather conditions. Rain, wind, cold and fog do not prevent Spacechameleon from conducting its tours. Unless you hear otherwise from Spacechameleon, you can assume that your tour is going ahead. Spacechameleon will make every effort to inform you if cancelling your scheduled tour is necessary. Participants that decide not to attend/participate on the basis of weather (against Spacechameleon’s policy and/or advice) forfeit any fees paid.

 

Cancellation by Spacechameleon

If Spacechameleon postpones or cancels this tour after the Boya Quarry abseiling, climbing and via-ferrata training day, any refund will be less $200 in recognition of the effort and value associated with the training day.

In the unlikely event that Spacechameleon cancels this tour, neither Spacechameleon nor Frieda Yoga & Hiking will be liable for any costs you have incurred with third parties in relation to your booking of this tour. E.g. flights etc.

Schedule Changes or cancellation after commencement
