We do open-date gift vouchers that you can hand to the
recipients as gifts on a special day. This allows the recipient the flexibility
to make the final booking on a date that suits his/her personal schedule. This
also turns the gift into a “double whammy” gift as the recipient receives the
voucher on the special day and then has the anticipation of going on the
adventure on a suitable date.

Our open date vouchers are valid for a period of 6 months from date of issue;
this is a precaution to guard against price increases only, the value of the
voucher is never lost. Should the participant not use the voucher within that
time period, the value is still there, and if there has been no price
increases, the recipient uses the voucher as is. If after the six months grace
period there has been a price increase, the recipient will be liable to pay in
the price difference only.
