Cancel for Any Reason Upgrade

Plans change. This upgrade gives you maximum flexibility by allowing you to cancel your booking for any reason before the start time listed on your voucher.

When you add Cancel for Any Reason to your booking, we’ll waive any cancellation penalties and issue a refund for the original cost of your booking if you cancel prior to the start time on your voucher. If you cancel within the standard fully refundable period (if applicable), we’ll refund the upgrade fee too.

How It Works

Cancel before the standard fully refundable deadline

Some bookings include a standard cancellation policy that allows you to cancel for a full refund up to a certain deadline.

If you cancel before that standard fully refundable deadline, you will receive a refund for:

Cancel after the standard cancellation deadline

If you cancel after the booking’s standard fully refundable deadline, or if the standard cancellation policy does not allow for a full refund, you can still cancel before the voucher start time and receive a refund for the original cost of your booking.

In this case, the Cancel for Any Reason upgrade fee is non-refundable.

Cancel after the voucher start time

Cancellations made at or after the start time listed on your voucher are not eligible for a refund.

How to Cancel

To qualify for a refund, your cancellation must be completed before the voucher start time through our Manage Bookings hub.

You can access Manage Bookings through:

Cancellations requested by phone, email, chat, directly with the operator, or after the voucher start time may not qualify for the benefits offered under this upgrade.

Important Things to Know

The upgrade must be added at checkout

Cancel for Any Reason can only be added at the time you purchase your booking. It cannot be added after your booking has been purchased.

Add-ons and booking upgrades

If you add extras, upgrades, or additional participants to a booking that includes Cancel for Any Reason, those additions are subject to the additional (pro-rated) upgrade fee.

Operator cancellations

If the tour operator cancels your booking, such as due to weather, availability, safety concerns, or another operator-related reason, you will receive a full refund for the original cost of the booking and the Cancel for Any Reason upgrade fee.

You cannot cancel and still participate

Once you cancel a booking, your voucher is no longer valid. You may not cancel a booking, receive a refund, and still participate in the tour or activity. If you cancel and then attempt to join or use the service, the cancellation may be voided and no refund will be due.

No-shows are not covered

You must cancel through Manage Bookings before the voucher start time. If you do not cancel before the voucher start time and do not attend, it will be treated as a no-show and will not be eligible for a refund under this upgrade.

If you don’t cancel

If you don’t cancel your booking prior to the start time, neither the cost of the booking nor the upgrade fee are eligible for a refund, regardless of whether or not you participate in the service booked.

Example

You select a tour for $500 (original booking cost) and add Cancel for Any Reason at checkout for an additional $100 (the upgrade fee).

If the tour’s standard policy allows free cancellation until 3 days before the tour and you cancel before that deadline, you receive a refund of the $500 original booking cost, plus the $100 upgrade fee.

If you cancel after the standard deadline but before the start time on your voucher, you receive a refund of the $500 booking cost, but the $100 upgrade fee is not refunded.
