Last Updated: 20 August 2026
At Adventures in Paradise Tours (“AIP Tours”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), we are committed to providing exceptional travel experiences and transparent booking terms. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which refunds may be granted for tours, transfers, activities, and other travel services booked through our website or directly with our team.
1. Eligibility for Refunds
You may be eligible for a refund under the following circumstances:

If you wish to cancel your booking, refund eligibility will depend on the cancellation terms applicable to the specific tour, activity, transfer, accommodation, or service booked. Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing via email or through our official customer service channels.
Service Provider Cancellations
If a tour, activity, transfer, accommodation, or other service is cancelled by the service provider, a refund may be issued in accordance with the provider’s cancellation policy. AIP Tours will assist customers in facilitating the refund process where applicable.
Significant Changes to Confirmed Bookings
If substantial changes are made to your confirmed itinerary by AIP Tours or the service provider, including but not limited to changes in travel dates, destinations, accommodations, or major tour inclusions, you may be entitled to a full or partial refund, subject to review.
