RAINY DAY POLICY
We’d love to think we can control all the elements of a tour, but unfortunately rain and bad weather is not one of them.
We have a policy in place to ensure that you, our valued guests, get the most out of a rainy day tour with us.
On the day of the scheduled tour, Cape Town Kayaks will solely make the decision regarding the suitability of the weather conditions for the tour. The decision will be communicated to you as soon as possible. We take the below approach, when it comes to kayaking on a bad weather day:
1. Paddle only within the shelter of the Hout Bay harbour.
2. Reschedule the tour to a later time-slot, taking our availability into account.
3. Reschedule the tour to an alternative date, taking our availability into account.
4. If none of the above are suitable solutions, then a full refund will be applicable, and shall reflect as a credit on your account.
Someone from our office will be in touch with the client via phone, text or email on the morning of the tour to confirm the day's plan and activity.
Please feel free to get in touch with us should you have any concerns about the above.
