Cancellation Policy

Please contact us at least 24 hours before the event to cancel or postpone your booking. Our tours are non-refundable.

In the event of cancellation due to bad weather, we’ll notify you by email at 1 pm on the day of the tour. You’ll receive a credit equal to the amount paid, valid for 3 years, which you can use to rebook the Wine Tasting & Stargazing experience (held once a month).

Alternatively, you can use your credit to join our Signature Stargazing tour in Wentworth Falls, available every night. This 90-minute experience includes stunning views of the Jamison Valley, the sounds of nearby waterfalls, and complimentary hot chocolate. Your credit can also be used for our beachside stargazing in Jervis Bay. If you paid $270 for 2 people, you’ll receive vouchers for the same value paid to use towards any future stargazing tour (standard rate $85 per adult). You’re welcome to use the full value to bring extra guests or apply it toward a group booking—just pay the difference if the total exceeds your credit. For example, a $270 voucher (for two people) could cover up to four guests on a standard tour, with only a small extra cost for a group of five.

Kindly be aware that in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, our tours are not eligible for refunds in the event of cancellation due to overcast skies. We strongly encourage you to book last minute to check the latest weather forecast or contact us prior to booking so we can check the weather together, if you do not want to receive a credit.
