Tour & Activity Booking Cancellations
Our experience providers have their own cancellation policies which you are bound to follow. Please refer to the cancellation terms section on the product description page for the policy specific to your chosen experience. In the case of cancellations by you or if you fail to show at the booked time or day, you may lose your voucher completely if the Experience Provider is unable to fill your space on the day. If an Experience Provider needs to cancel an experience for any reason, you will be offered to reschedule to a convenient alternative date, or provided with a credit from the supplier. In the event of multiple experience cancellations by the Experience Provider or if the Experience Provider cannot reschedule within a reasonable period of time, you may be entitled to a remedy in accordance with your statutory consumer guarantee rights (see below). Except as required by your statutory consumer guarantee rights, PlanGo New Zealand will not reimburse any travelling, accommodation or other expenses incurred by you or any other person in the event of a cancellation.

​

In all other circumstances, cancelling a booking with PlanGo New Zealand can result in cancellation fees being applied by PlanGo New Zealand, as outlined below. Additional fees may be levied by the individual supplier/operator (see your PlanGo Voucher for specific details). When cancelling any booking you will be notified via email of the total cancellation fees.

​

If a booking is cancelled by 'The Experience Provider' and you are unable to reschedule please contact us. Explain the reason for the cancellation and the person you spoke to and if possible, your voucher number. We will then offer you a 100% credit so you can realise this tour at a later date or use it towards the cost of another experience offered on our website. Alternatively, you can contact us to discuss further action in line with our change and cancellation policy. 

​

If you need to reschedule, change or cancel your booking you will need to contact us (PlanGo New Zealand) so we can first get authorization to do so from the respective Experience Provider.

​

If you cancel your booking, then you will need to contact us to request a credit. All credits are entirely at the discretion of PlanGo New Zealand.  

If you cancel within 72 hours of the scheduled departure time, then no credit will be given.

​

'No shows' on the day of your activity will result in you being charged a 100% cancellation fee.

The Experience Provider reserves the absolute right to cancel any service as a result of weather conditions, insufficient numbers or any other unforeseen event or circumstances. In this instance, you can choose to reschedule directly with The Experience Provider or request a credit from PlanGo New Zealand.
