Terms & Conditions
We require a deposit of 25% of the total amount of every trip price at time of booking confirmation.

The deposit is refundable until 7 days prior to departure.

We require full payment of the total trip cost to be paid at time of departure.

If we consider the river conditions to be unsafe for your trip, we will not let you depart.

If we believe the weather conditions are improving we may delay the departing time, or postpone until the following day.

If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather or river conditions, or, if you are unable to postpone until the following day, all amounts held by Whanganui River Canoes will be refunded.

If you need to transfer to Pipiriki by jet boat you are required to pay for this.
Some exceptions apply.

Safety Responsibility

Clients are responsible for their own safety management and clients must meet any additional costs arising from bad weather, or injury.

• If weather and river conditions turn bad during your trip, your first option should be to wait it out.
• If conditions turn bad, we will allow you to sit it out and canoe/kayak back a day late, at no extra cost.
• Clients are required to replace any equipment lost and are liable for the repair cost of any equipment damaged.

Disclaimer

We cannot be held responsible for any electronic equipment or personal items that are taken on your trip.

All of our equipment is checked regularly.

Our liability is not guaranteed due to user error, and other circumstances out of our control.

Although greatly reduced, there is still a small risk of an accident and/or injury.

Whanganui River Canoes and/or the guide cannot be held responsible unless great negligence was involved on their part.
