If such a change is made after booking, KdBs will notify Client as soon as possible. 

Once a tour has departed or began, itinerary changes may be necessary as a result of unforeseen circumstances, operational concerns, or concerns for clients’ health, safety, enjoyment or comfort.

If an activity is cancelled by KdBs for safety reasons (water level, weather forecast, any kind of unsafe conditions, etc.) or any unexpected conditions or reasonable cause, before the start of the activity or tour, it shall be postponed to a more appropriate day, time, or location, based on the given options. 

In case of major changes or cancellations of the activity or tour booked by the Client, KdBs shall inform the Client as soon as possible and provide him/her with the following options: 

- Client may accept a new departure date.
- Client may accept a replacement activity/tour of equivalent or similar itinerary and price range (without any additional payment).

- at least 5 days before booked activity: KdBs retains paid deposit,

- at least 3 days before booked activity: KdBs retains 50% of paid amount (in case only deposit has been paid, KdBs is entitled to charge the client with 50% of the price of booked activity),

- less than 24 hours before booked activity or no-show: KdBs retains 100% of paid amount. 

The refund rate for multi-day tours, combo adventures and custom adventures differentiates depending on the date of cancellation (in case of full upfront payment):

If the Client can not attend the tour/activity, he/she may find a replacement with another Client, and notify KdBs of replacement Client at least 8 days prior to the start of activity/tour. In this case, the Client, who can not attend the activity/tour, is obliged to pay only administrative costs of KdBs related to this Client change in amount of 10% of the booked activity or tour.

No partial refunds are possible for any unused services including hotel rooms, transport, treking days, or uncompleted parts of activities and excursions, if the reason for unused services or preliminary end of the activity/tour is with the Client (exceptions may apply in case of unexpected serious medical reasons, etc.)

If a Client has to be removed from a trip for any reason, he/she shall not be entitled to any refund.

If the Client cancels activity/tour due to unexpected serious cause or serious medical reason, which could not be avoided or foreseen by the Client, KdBs can decide, upon review of the Clients’ proofs and all relevant circumstances, to charge the Client only with KdBs costs, related to the cancelled activity/tour. Any problems of Client, connected with the use of alcohol/drugs can be avoided and foreseen by the Client and can therefore not be a subject of reasonable cause for cancellation of activity/tour with reimbursement of money.

To get already paid amount of your travel (in case of cancellation) reimbursed, it is highly advised you choose Trip Cancellation Insurance. Ask for more details at your local insurance company.
