Deposits

$200 non-refundable deposit per person per booking (excludes boat charters, see below). If a booking includes a boat charter, then total minimum non-refundable deposit is $500 (unless otherwise advised) per person per charter. Payments of deposits are due within 7 days after booking is made, otherwise the booking may not be accepted or may be cancelled without further notice.

Although your holiday price is correct at the time of your enquiry or booking, taxes, surcharges or currency fluctuation may change at any time at the discretion of the airline, government body or authority, local operator, hotel, resort or charter boat, all of which may affect prices that have been provided. Group numbers can vary which may directly influence individual prices and group viability of some services which can result in services or prices being cancelled or adjusted. Until the time that all payment has been received and subsequently all documentation issued, ClearWater reserves the right to adjust quotes and invoices so that the client contributes to any additional increases.
