Refund method and processing
- Approved refunds are initiated to the original payment method used at checkout.
- Refunds will be credited within 10 working days after approval.
- Banking, wallet, or payment gateway timelines may affect when the refunded amount appears.
- Tripsam may share transaction reference details when needed for support follow-up.
03
Reschedules and date changes
- Date or slot change requests are subject to availability and operator approval.
- A requested change may lead to fare differences, revised availability, or updated booking conditions.
- If a change cannot be accommodated, the standard cancellation policy will apply.
04
No-show and late arrival
- No-show bookings are non-refundable.
- Late arrival can result in denied entry, missed reporting, or a shortened experience without refund.
- Guests are responsible for reaching the reporting point on time unless otherwise specified in the booking.
05
Operator and external disruptions
- Trips may be rescheduled or cancelled due to weather, government restrictions, safety advisories, forest rules, or operational constraints.
- In such cases, refund or reschedule handling will depend on the specific operational situation and supplier terms.
- Tripsam will communicate the next steps as clearly as possible when such disruptions occur.
06
Partial payments
- When a booking supports partial payment, refund eligibility applies to the amount paid through Tripsam unless otherwise stated.
- Any balance payable directly to the operator may be governed by the booking-specific terms shown during checkout.
