You may also be asked to follow COVID-19 safety protocols, such as wearing a mask, using hand sanitiser and practicing social distancing. Anyone refusing to follow COVID-19 safety requests made by our guides and hosts will not be permitted to continue with the experience. No refunds will be provided on this basis.

If you become unwell or have potentially been exposed to COVID-19 (e.g.: visited a venue on the Ministry of Health’s ‘places of interest’ list on stated dates and times) you will not be able to take part in the experience you have booked with us. If you become unwell or are concerned about your potential risk of transmitting COVID-19 to others, you will receive a credit that can be redeemed on a future date of your choosing. There is no charge to re-book with us.

Due to the close contact nature of our experiences and the vaccination mandates in place at many of the venues we visit, you will need to provide a vaccine passport to participate in our experiences.

Please be aware – no refunds or credits will be provided on this basis.
