You will be advised at the time of booking what payment is required for your particular arrangements.

If we are unable to secure confirmation you will be refunded in full.

Peak season surcharges and block out dates may apply. Airfares are subject to the prices and conditions quoted by the particular airlines and cannot be guaranteed by Holiday Packages. The onus is on the agent & the passenger to check that there have been no changes in these prices before making final payment thereof. Should the client make a group reservation & subsequently the group numbers deviate from the minimum number required for the booking, Holiday Packages reserves the right to re-cost the price and raise a surcharge. Should any client refuse to accept and pay such surcharge, it may result in cancellation of the booking and forfeiture of all payments made. Holiday Packages guarantees the price of land arrangements, only once full payment is received.
