BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS

At the time of booking, validity of various package offers should be confirmed as the supplier reserves the right to change without notice. All bookings are given an ‘Arrival/Check in’ time only. Please note this is not a ‘skydive’ time. Whilst the supplier endeavoures to complete an individual’s tandem skydive within 4 hours of arrival, the supplier advise you to arrive with no time constraints – you should plan for this to be a whole day’s activity. As safety is the supplier’s main concern, factors such as wind, cloud, rain, thermal turbulence etc. and other factors such as air traffic can affect the time it takes to complete your skydive activity. Weather can change for better or worse in minutes, and you will be unable to skydive unless you are at the supplier’s Drop Zone. Weather conditions and other unforeseen circumstances can also require the supplier to alter the altitude of the skydive. As aircraft are mechanical and periodically become unavailable, the supplier reserve the right to change aircraft type without notice. On occasion, these aircraft changes and Air Traffic Control (ATC) may require the supplier to change the required altitude and number of participants in a plane. Further, the supplier reserves the right to reschedule your skydive. Medical conditions which could affect your safety should be discussed with your doctor prior to your booking.

Last minute additions to group bookings are required to pay their deposit prior to arrival at the Drop Zone. Those arriving at the Drop Zone without a deposit will have to wait until the conclusion of the day’s bookings before tandem skydiving. While the supplier endeavours to keep groups in the same load, the supplier does reserve the right to change group configurations where necessary due to operational requirements. No refunds will be made available where SA changes your group configuration.

Vouchers are non-refundable, not redeemable for cash, but are transferable. The Purchaser must advise the supplier in order to transfer a gift voucher. All gift vouchers purchased directly through the supplier will expire 6 months after purchase. Gift Voucher extensions are available for $50 for a 3 month extension.
