  • an authorised One Pelican Travel Consultant;

  • email correspondence;

  • the Company has confirmed the availability of the requested travel services;

  • the Traveller has accepted these General Terms and Conditions;

7.5 Booking on Behalf of Others

Where one individual makes a booking on behalf of multiple Travellers, that individual represents and warrants that:

  • they have authority to act on behalf of every Traveller;

  • each Traveller has authorised the Lead Traveller to enter into the travel contract;

  • every Traveller accepts these Terms.

The Lead Traveller shall remain responsible for all payments due under the booking unless otherwise agreed in writing.

7.6 Availability

All travel products are offered subject to availability.

Availability may change at any time before confirmation due to:

  • supplier inventory changes;

  • airline seat availability;

  • hotel occupancy;

  • operational requirements;

  • the Booking Confirmation;

  • the itinerary;

  • any Special Conditions applicable to the booked product;

The Company may retain electronic records as evidence of contractual acceptance.

8.3 Entire Agreement

The travel contract constitutes the complete agreement between the Company and the Traveller.

No oral representation, advertisement or informal communication shall modify these Terms unless confirmed in writing by the Company.

8.4 Language

The master version of these Terms is drafted in English.

Translations into Italian, Portuguese, French, Spanish or other languages are provided solely for convenience.

In the event of any inconsistency between translated versions and the English version, the English version shall prevail to the extent permitted by mandatory law.

9. PRICES

9.1 Published Prices

Unless expressly stated otherwise, all published prices are quoted:

  • per person;

  • in the specified currency;

  • inclusive of applicable taxes where legally required;

  • exclusive of optional services unless expressly included.

The booking confirmation shall specify exactly what is included in the purchased travel product.

9.2 Included Services

Each product page clearly identifies included services.

Typical inclusions may consist of:

  • accommodation;

  • airport transfers;

  • meals;

  • guided tours;

  • entrance tickets;

  • local transportation;

  • event tickets;

  • support services.

Any service not expressly described as included shall be considered excluded.

  • passport costs;

  • travel insurance;

  • vaccinations;

  • personal expenses;

  • minibar charges;

  • optional excursions;

  • gratuities;

  • tourist taxes payable locally;

  • foreign exchange costs.

9.4 Pricing Errors

Despite reasonable care, pricing errors may occasionally occur.

If the Company discovers an obvious pricing error before confirmation, it reserves the right to:

  • correct the error;

  • offer the Traveller the opportunity to proceed at the correct price; or

  • cancel the booking without liability.

The Company shall notify the Traveller as soon as reasonably practicable.

A booking made at a manifestly incorrect price resulting from a typographical, technical or system error shall not obligate the Company to honour that price where permitted by law.

9.5 Currency Exchange

Where payments are made in a currency different from the published price:

  • exchange rates shall be determined by the payment provider or financial institution;

  • the Company is not responsible for exchange rate fluctuations;

  • refunds shall normally be processed in the original transaction currency.

9.6 Taxes and Government Charges

Government taxes, airport charges, security fees and mandatory destination taxes may change after publication.

Where permitted by applicable law, the Company reserves the right to adjust the final price to reflect changes imposed by governmental authorities or suppliers.

The Traveller shall be informed of any such adjustment before the balance payment becomes due.

 

10. PAYMENTS

10.1 Payment Obligation

The Traveller agrees to pay the total price specified in the Booking Confirmation in accordance with the payment schedule established by the Company.

Failure to make payments within the prescribed deadlines may result in the automatic cancellation of the booking, subject to these Terms and applicable law.

10.2 Deposit

Unless otherwise specified in writing, a booking requires the payment of an initial deposit.

The amount of the deposit shall be communicated before the booking is confirmed.

Payment of the deposit constitutes acceptance of:

  • these General Terms and Conditions;

  • the applicable cancellation policy;

  • the payment schedule;

  • the travel contract.

The deposit is not a service fee but forms part of the total travel price.

10.3 Balance Payment

The remaining balance must be paid by the deadline indicated in the Booking Confirmation.

Unless otherwise agreed, the balance is due no later than 40 days before the scheduled departure date.

For bookings made within the balance payment period, the full amount shall be payable immediately upon confirmation.

Failure to pay the balance by the due date may be treated as a cancellation by the Traveller, and the applicable cancellation charges may apply.

10.4 Instalment Payment Plans

For selected travel products, the Company may offer payment plans allowing the Traveller to spread the cost of the booking over multiple instalments.

Participation in an instalment plan remains subject to:

  • approval by the Company or its payment provider;

  • compliance with the agreed payment schedule;

  • acceptance of any additional terms communicated before purchase.

Failure to pay any instalment may result in suspension or cancellation of the booking.

Unless otherwise stated, instalment plans do not constitute consumer credit or financial services provided directly by the Company.

10.5 Accepted Payment Methods

The Company may accept payment through one or more of the following methods:

  • Credit Cards

  • Debit Cards

  • Bank Transfer

  • Digital Wallets

  • Stripe

  • PayPal

  • Apple Pay

  • Google Pay

  • Other authorised payment providers

Accepted payment methods may vary depending on the Traveller's country of residence and the booked travel product.

10.6 Payment Security

All online payments are processed using secure payment gateways operated by authorised payment service providers.

The Company does not store complete payment card details on its own systems unless expressly permitted by applicable payment security standards.

10.7 Currency

Payments shall be made in the currency specified in the Booking Confirmation.

Where a payment is made in another currency, exchange rates applied by banks or payment providers shall govern the conversion.

The Company shall not be responsible for:

  • exchange rate fluctuations;

  • foreign transaction fees;

  • intermediary bank charges.

10.8 Late Payments

If payment is not received by the applicable due date, the Company may:

  • issue a payment reminder;

  • suspend the booking;

  • cancel supplier reservations;

  • apply cancellation charges;

  • terminate the travel contract.

The Company shall not be responsible for losses resulting from the cancellation of reservations caused by late payment.

10.9 Chargebacks

A chargeback should only be initiated where the Traveller genuinely believes that a payment has been processed fraudulently or incorrectly.

Where a Traveller initiates a chargeback without valid legal grounds, the Company reserves the right to:

  • suspend all current bookings;

  • cancel future reservations;

  • recover any costs incurred;

  • pursue legal remedies where appropriate.

Nothing in this clause limits the Traveller's statutory rights under consumer protection legislation.

10.10 Fraud Prevention

The Company reserves the right to conduct reasonable verification procedures to prevent fraudulent transactions.

Such procedures may include requests for:

  • proof of identity;

  • proof of address;

  • confirmation of payment method ownership;

  • additional documentation required by payment providers.

Failure to provide requested verification within a reasonable period may result in cancellation of the booking and refund of any verified funds, less any non-recoverable costs already incurred.

10.11 Taxes

The Traveller remains responsible for any taxes, duties or governmental charges imposed by authorities that are not expressly included within the booked travel product.

10.12 Promotional Discounts

Promotional prices:

  • are available only during the stated promotional period;

  • cannot normally be combined with other offers;

  • have no cash value;

  • cannot be applied retrospectively after booking confirmation unless expressly stated.

The Company reserves the right to withdraw promotional offers at any time before a booking is confirmed.

11. CHANGES REQUESTED BY THE TRAVELLER

11.1 Request for Changes

After confirmation, the Traveller may request modifications to the booking.

Modification requests may include:

  • change of departure date;

  • change of accommodation;

  • change of room type;

  • change of traveller;

  • additional nights;

  • optional experiences;

  • transport arrangements.

All modification requests remain subject to availability and supplier approval.

11.2 Administrative Fees

The Company may charge a reasonable administrative fee for processing modifications.

In addition, the Traveller shall be responsible for any additional costs imposed by suppliers, including airlines, hotels, transport providers or event organisers.

11.3 Name Changes

Name changes may not always be permitted.

Where permitted, name changes remain subject to:

  • supplier policies;

  • airline restrictions;

  • immigration regulations;

  • additional administrative fees.

Certain airline tickets may be non-transferable and require cancellation and rebooking.

11.4 Date Changes

Requests to change travel dates shall be treated as modification requests rather than automatic entitlements.

The Company will use reasonable efforts to accommodate such requests but cannot guarantee availability.

Price differences resulting from seasonal rates, supplier pricing or exchange rate fluctuations shall be payable by the Traveller.

11.5 Changes Close to Departure

Modification requests submitted shortly before departure may be impossible to process due to supplier deadlines.

Where changes cannot reasonably be implemented, the original booking conditions shall remain applicable.

11.6 Change of Destination

A request to change the destination after confirmation shall normally be treated as:

  • cancellation of the original booking; and

  • creation of a new booking.

Applicable cancellation charges may therefore apply.

11.7 Additional Travellers

Requests to add travellers after confirmation remain subject to:

  • accommodation capacity;

  • airline availability;

  • transport capacity;

  • supplier approval.

Additional travellers may be charged at the prevailing price available at the time of the request.

11.8 Reduction in Group Size

If one or more travellers cancel from a shared booking, the remaining travellers may become responsible for:

  • single room supplements;

  • revised transport costs;

  • revised group pricing;

  • supplier-imposed charges.

The Company shall provide updated pricing before confirming such adjustments.

 

12. CHANGES MADE BY THE ORGANISER

12.1 Right to Modify Travel Arrangements

The Company carefully plans every travel product in advance. However, due to operational requirements or circumstances beyond its reasonable control, it may become necessary to modify certain elements of the booked travel arrangements.

The Company reserves the right to make changes before or during the trip where such changes are necessary for the successful operation of the travel programme.

Whenever reasonably possible, the Traveller shall be informed without undue delay.

12.2 Minor Changes

Minor changes are modifications that do not substantially affect the overall value, purpose or enjoyment of the travel experience.

Examples include, without limitation:

  • changes to transfer schedules;

  • substitution of a hotel with another of equivalent or higher standard;

  • modification of excursion times;

  • replacement of restaurants;

  • replacement of guides;

  • changes to meeting locations;

  • minor itinerary adjustments;

  • changes resulting from airline schedule updates.

Minor changes do not entitle the Traveller to cancel the booking or claim compensation.

12.3 Significant Changes

A significant change is one that materially alters an essential element of the travel contract.

Examples may include:

  • a substantial reduction in the duration of the trip;

  • a significant downgrade in accommodation standards;

  • removal of a principal destination without a suitable alternative;

  • cancellation of a major event that forms the principal purpose of the package;

  • substantial alteration of the itinerary;

  • material increase in the total travel price where permitted by law.

Where a significant change becomes necessary before departure, the Company shall notify the Traveller as soon as reasonably practicable.

Subject to applicable law, the Traveller may then be offered one or more of the following options:

  • acceptance of the proposed change;

  • acceptance of a suitable alternative package, where available;

  • termination of the contract with the refund required by applicable legislation.

12.4 Equivalent Alternatives

Where an advertised service becomes unavailable, the Company may substitute it with a comparable alternative of equal or higher quality whenever reasonably possible.

Examples include:

  • equivalent hotels;

  • comparable transportation;

  • similar guided experiences;

  • replacement activities;

  • alternative restaurants;

  • alternative event venues.

Such substitutions shall not constitute a breach of contract where they preserve the overall quality and purpose of the travel experience.

12.5 Changes During the Trip

If circumstances require modifications after the Traveller has commenced the journey, the Company shall make reasonable efforts to:

  • minimise inconvenience;

  • preserve the value of the travel experience;

  • provide suitable alternatives whenever possible.

Where a significant portion of the contracted services cannot be provided, the Company shall arrange appropriate alternative services without additional cost where required by applicable law.

12.6 Itinerary Flexibility

The Traveller acknowledges that travel itineraries may require flexibility.

The order of activities, excursions or visits may change due to:

  • weather conditions;

  • operational requirements;

  • local authority decisions;

  • transportation delays;

  • supplier availability;

  • safety considerations;

  • conservation measures;

  • cultural or religious events;

  • unforeseen circumstances.

Unless such changes materially alter the travel package, they shall not constitute a breach of contract.

12.7 Hotels

Hotels listed within itineraries are subject to operational availability.

Where necessary, the Company may replace accommodation with another property offering comparable comfort, facilities and location.

Room layouts, interior decoration and views may differ from promotional photographs.

Photographs shown on the Website are illustrative only.

12.8 Transportation

Transportation providers may modify:

  • schedules;

  • routes;

  • equipment;

  • departure points;

  • arrival points.

Such operational changes remain under the control of the relevant carrier.

The Company shall not be liable for operational decisions taken independently by transport providers.

12.9 Local Experiences

Authentic travel experiences often involve local communities, independent guides and small businesses.

Occasionally, experiences may require modification due to:

  • community events;

  • weather conditions;

  • conservation requirements;

  • safety considerations;

  • governmental restrictions.

The Company shall endeavour to provide equivalent alternatives whenever reasonably possible.

13. CANCELLATION BY THE ORGANISER

13.1 Cancellation Before Departure

The Company reserves the right to cancel a booked travel product before departure where necessary.

Cancellation may occur for reasons including, but not limited to:

  • failure to reach the minimum number of participants;

  • supplier insolvency;

  • government restrictions;

  • safety concerns;

  • force majeure;

  • operational impossibility;

  • circumstances making performance illegal or impossible.

The Traveller shall be informed as soon as reasonably practicable.

13.2 Minimum Participant Requirement

Certain travel products require a minimum number of participants to operate safely and economically.

This particularly applies to:

  • escorted tours;

  • expeditions;

  • festival packages;

  • educational travel;

  • group departures;

  • charter operations.

If the minimum number of participants is not reached, the Company may cancel the departure.

Where required by applicable law, the Traveller shall receive the refund to which they are entitled.

The Company may also offer:

  • another departure date;

  • an upgraded alternative;

  • travel credit;

  • a customised itinerary.

Acceptance of these alternatives shall remain entirely voluntary.

13.3 Force Majeure

These include, without limitation:

  • civil unrest;

  • government travel restrictions;

  • failures of essential infrastructure.

Where required by law, the Company shall provide the remedies available under the applicable legislation.

13.4 Safety First

The safety of Travellers, employees, suppliers and local communities shall always take priority over the scheduled itinerary.

The Company reserves the right to:

  • modify activities;

  • suspend excursions;

  • cancel experiences;

  • alter routes;

  • evacuate participants;

  • terminate travel arrangements where necessary for safety reasons.

Such decisions shall be made in good faith and in accordance with available information at the relevant time.

13.5 Traveller Misconduct

The Company reserves the right to terminate the travel contract without refund where a Traveller:

  • endangers the safety of others;

  • commits criminal acts;

  • engages in violent behaviour;

  • repeatedly disregards reasonable instructions;

  • causes serious disruption to the travel experience;

  • damages property;

  • behaves in a discriminatory or abusive manner toward staff, suppliers or other travellers.

The Traveller shall remain responsible for all resulting costs, including transportation, accommodation and any damages caused.

13.6 Supplier Failure

Where a supplier unexpectedly fails to provide contracted services, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to:

  • secure alternative suppliers;

  • minimise disruption;

  • preserve the quality of the travel experience.

The Company shall not automatically be liable for losses caused solely by the independent default of a supplier, except where liability arises under mandatory package travel legislation.

13.7 Refunds Following Organiser Cancellation

Where the Company cancels a booking and no alternative arrangement is accepted by the Traveller, refunds shall be processed in accordance with:

  • applicable law;

  • these Terms;

  • any mandatory consumer protection provisions.

Unless otherwise required by law, refunds shall be limited to amounts actually paid to the Company for the cancelled travel services.

The Company shall not be responsible for consequential or indirect losses incurred independently by the Traveller, such as separately booked flights, accommodation, visas, or other arrangements not included in the travel contract, unless such liability is imposed by mandatory law.

 

14. CANCELLATION BY THE TRAVELLER

14.1 Right to Cancel

The Traveller may cancel the travel contract at any time before the commencement of the travel services by submitting written notice to the Company.

Cancellation requests shall be sent through one of the following official channels:

  • the One Pelican customer portal (where available);

  • email;

  • the online contact form;

  • other written communication channels expressly accepted by the Company.

For legal certainty, telephone cancellations shall not be considered valid unless confirmed in writing.

14.2 Effective Date of Cancellation

A cancellation shall become effective on the date the Company receives the written cancellation request.

Where the request is received outside normal business hours, it shall be deemed received on the next business day.

The applicable cancellation charges shall be determined by reference to the effective cancellation date.

14.3 Cancellation Charges

The Company incurs operational costs immediately after confirming a booking, including supplier commitments, reservation costs and administrative expenses.

Accordingly, cancellation charges may apply.

Unless different conditions are expressly communicated before booking for a specific travel product, the following standard cancellation policy shall apply:

Days before departure

Cancellation Charge

More than 60 days

Administrative Fee only (if applicable)

60–41 days

Deposit retained

40–21 days

50% of the total booking price

20–11 days

75% of the total booking price

10 days or less

100% of the total booking price

Failure to travel (No Show)

100% of the total booking price

These percentages may be replaced by supplier-specific conditions where clearly disclosed before the booking is confirmed.

14.4 Supplier-Specific Cancellation Policies

Certain suppliers impose cancellation terms that differ from the Company's standard policy.

These may include:

  • scheduled airlines;

  • low-cost airlines;

  • cruise operators;

  • event organisers;

  • festival ticket providers;

  • sporting event organisers;

  • accommodation providers with non-refundable rates;

  • tailor-made travel arrangements.

Where supplier-specific conditions apply, the Traveller shall be informed before the booking is confirmed.

Supplier conditions shall prevail for the affected service to the extent permitted by law.

14.5 Non-Refundable Components

Certain components may be designated as non-refundable.

These may include:

  • airline tickets;

  • event tickets;

  • visa fees;

  • travel insurance premiums;

  • booking fees expressly identified as non-refundable;

  • supplier deposits that cannot be recovered.

Any non-refundable component shall be identified before the Traveller completes the booking.

14.6 Tailor-Made Holidays

Travel products created specifically for an individual Traveller or private group often require immediate commitments with multiple suppliers.

Accordingly, tailor-made itineraries may be subject to different cancellation conditions.

Such conditions shall be communicated before confirmation of the booking.

14.7 Group Bookings

For group reservations, cancellation by one participant may affect the pricing applicable to the remaining participants.

Where the cancellation results in:

  • loss of group discounts;

  • additional accommodation supplements;

  • revised transport costs;

  • minimum occupancy adjustments;

the remaining Travellers may be responsible for the resulting price difference.

The Company shall communicate any revised pricing before applying such adjustments.

14.8 Festival and Event Packages

Festival packages often include services purchased in advance from independent organisers.

Accordingly, the following components are generally non-refundable once confirmed:

  • festival passes;

  • VIP tickets;

  • backstage experiences;

  • reserved seating;

  • hospitality packages;

  • accreditation fees.

Where refunds are available from the event organiser, the Company shall pass on the corresponding amount after deducting any applicable administrative costs.

14.9 Travel Insurance

The Company strongly recommends purchasing travel insurance that includes cancellation coverage.

Where the Traveller has purchased cancellation insurance, reimbursement may be available directly from the insurer, subject to the insurance policy's terms and conditions.

The Company is not responsible for decisions made by the insurance provider regarding claim eligibility or settlement.

14.10 Transfer of the Booking

Where permitted by applicable law and supplier conditions, the Traveller may request to transfer the booking to another person.

Such transfer shall be subject to:

  • sufficient advance notice;

  • the substitute Traveller satisfying all travel requirements;

  • supplier approval where required;

  • payment of any additional costs reasonably incurred.

The Company reserves the right to refuse a transfer where operationally impossible or prohibited by supplier rules.

15. REFUNDS

15.1 General Principles

Refunds shall be processed only where:

  • required by applicable law;

  • provided for under these Terms;

  • agreed in writing by the Company;

  • authorised by the relevant supplier.

Refunds shall never exceed the amounts actually received by the Company for the affected travel services unless otherwise required by mandatory law.

15.2 Refund Method

Unless otherwise agreed, refunds shall be issued using the same payment method used for the original transaction.

Where this is not reasonably possible, the Company may arrange an alternative refund method with the Traveller.

15.3 Refund Processing Time

Refund processing depends on:

  • banking systems;

  • payment providers;

  • supplier reimbursement;

  • fraud prevention procedures.

Once approved, the Company will process refunds within a reasonable period.

The actual time for funds to appear in the Traveller's account may vary depending on the financial institution or payment provider.

15.4 Supplier Delays

Where the Company is awaiting reimbursement from a supplier, any refund due to the Traveller may be delayed accordingly, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

The Company shall keep the Traveller reasonably informed regarding the status of such reimbursements.

15.5 Partial Refunds

The Company shall use reasonable efforts to minimise disruption while prioritising health and safety.

 

18. TRAVEL INSURANCE

18.1 Importance of Travel Insurance

The Company strongly recommends that every Traveller purchase comprehensive travel insurance before the commencement of the trip.

International travel involves risks that cannot always be foreseen or controlled. Appropriate insurance provides financial protection against unexpected events that may occur before or during the journey.

Although insurance may not be mandatory for every destination, travelling without adequate coverage is entirely at the Traveller's own risk.

The Company is not an insurance undertaking and does not assume any obligations arising under the insurance policy.

18.4 Policy Documents

The Traveller shall receive the applicable insurance documentation before departure or as otherwise required by law.

The Traveller is responsible for reading:

  • the Policy Wording;

  • the General Conditions;

  • exclusions;

  • limits of liability;

  • claim procedures.

Failure to review the policy documentation shall not affect the applicability of its terms.

18.5 Pre-existing Medical Conditions

Certain medical conditions may not be covered under the insurance policy.

Travellers are responsible for:

  • reviewing the applicable policy conditions;

  • making any required medical declarations;

  • obtaining additional coverage where appropriate.

The Company does not assess medical eligibility for insurance coverage.

  • policy exclusions;

  • interpretation of insurance coverage.

Any dispute concerning insurance coverage shall be resolved directly between the Traveller and the insurance provider.

Travellers who already possess independent travel insurance should verify that their policy provides adequate cover for:

  • the destination;

  • the duration of travel;

  • planned activities;

  • adventure sports;

  • festivals or events;

  • medical evacuation;

  • hiking;

  • scuba diving;

  • snorkelling;

  • boat excursions;

  • volcanic hiking;

  • off-road excursions;

  • water sports.

The Company shall perform its obligations with the level of care reasonably expected of a professional international tour operator.

However, travel services are inherently dependent upon numerous external factors that cannot always be controlled.

Accordingly, the Company does not guarantee that every aspect of the journey will occur exactly as advertised where circumstances beyond its reasonable control require adjustments.

  • room location;

  • view;

  • furnishings;

  • décor;

  • room size;

Reasonable variations shall not constitute a breach of contract.

Participation in activities such as:

  • trekking;

  • hiking;

  • snorkelling;

  • diving;

  • sailing;

  • whale watching;

  • volcano excursions;

  • water sports;

  • off-road experiences;

is voluntary.

The Traveller accepts the ordinary risks inherent in such activities provided that they are operated with reasonable care.

20.8 Traveller's Own Acts or Omissions

The Company shall not be liable where loss or damage results wholly or partly from:

  • breach of these Terms;

  • unlawful conduct;

20.11 Limitation of Liability

Where applicable law permits the limitation of liability, the Company's total liability arising from the travel contract shall not exceed the maximum limits established under the applicable international conventions and mandatory legislation governing the relevant travel services.

Nothing in this clause limits liability for:

  • fraud;

  • wilful misconduct;

  • any liability that cannot legally be excluded.

20.12 Duty to Mitigate

The Traveller agrees to take reasonable steps to minimise any loss suffered during the journey.

Failure to report problems during the trip may affect the extent of any compensation where permitted by applicable law.

Such assistance may include:

If the Traveller considers that any contracted travel service has not been provided as agreed, the Traveller should notify:

  1. the local guide or representative; or

  2. the Company's Customer Support Team;

as soon as reasonably practicable.

Prompt notification enables the Company to investigate and, where possible, remedy the issue during the journey.

21.3 Failure to Report

If the Traveller fails to report a problem during the trip without reasonable justification, this may reduce the Company's ability to investigate or remedy the matter.

Where permitted by applicable law, such failure may be taken into account when assessing any subsequent claim for compensation.

  • Traveller's name;
