Please review these terms carefully prior to confirming your booking.

• Travel Insurance: Cape Xtreme does not provide medical insurance or cover medical care costs for clients. It is strongly advised and recommended that all clients—particularly international inbound travelers—secure comprehensive personal travel, medical, and accident insurance that explicitly extends to cover high-risk adventure sports, emergency medical evacuation, and repatriation within South African borders. In the absence of such insurance, the client accepts full, unconditional financial responsibility for any and all medical expenses, private hospital admission fees, and evacuation costs incurred on their behalf.

If your card is registered for 3D Secure, you will be redirected to a pop-up window during the online sale/payment process, requesting you to enter a One Time Pin (OTP). By entering this OTP you prove that the online transaction is authentic and that you are the cardholder. The OTP can either be sent to you via text message or email (only to contact details that are already set up and linked to your bank account/card holder). It is important to have access to these communication channels during the online card payment process, as you will need to enter the password to authenticate the payment within a minute after you have entered your card details.

Contact your bank for more information, or if you have problems with completing the 3D secure authentication process.

We will notify you or your Travel Agent of any significant changes as soon as possible.

(b) Minimum Participation Requirements: Many tours, activities and packages require a minimum number of participants to operate.

• Multi-Day Tours: We will notify you at least 5-7 days prior if a tour must be suspended due to low numbers.

Vouchers can only be redeemed on CapeXtreme’s website or by emailing the voucher to info@capextreme.com.

(e) We strongly recommend you have comprehensive travel insurance, as Cape Xtreme is not responsible for any costs of any other travel arrangements affected due to withdrawn/suspended tours/activities/packages, or rescheduling of departure dates.

12. Weather-Related Cancellations & Rescheduling

• Personal injury or death.
• Loss, theft, or damage to luggage and personal effects.
• Cancellations or disruptions due to travel restrictions or unforeseen constraints.
In the absence of such insurance, the client accepts full, unconditional financial responsibility for any and all medical expenses, private hospital admission fees, evacuation costs incurred, and/or any other expenses on their behalf.

(b) Limitation of Liability: Cape Xtreme, its employees, Agents and Third-Party Providers shall not be held liable for any accident, injury, illness, death, loss, or delay sustained by any person during any activity, transport, or accommodation facilitated by us, save for instances where such injury or death is the direct result of gross negligence by. Further, no liability is accepted by Cape Xtreme, its employees, Agents and Third-Party Providers, for the loss, theft, or damage to client luggage or personal effects.

(c) High-Risk Activity Coverage: Many activities offered by Cape Xtreme and our Third-Party Providers are considered "high-risk" or "adventure" sports. Clients must verify with their insurers that their policy specifically covers these activities (e.g., paragliding, skydiving, bungee jumping, quad biking, etc.) within Southern Africa.

(d) Secondary Costs: Cape Xtreme is not responsible or held liable for any secondary costs or financial losses incurred due to travel restrictions, tour rescheduling, cancellations, or personal emergencies, or any other reasons or constraints out of your or Cape Xtreme’s control. We highly recommend a policy that includes "Cancel for Any Reason" coverage.

16. Personal Risk/Injury & Medical Responsibility

(a) Assumption of Risk: All participants join Cape Xtreme activities, tours, and packages—including those facilitated by Third-Party Providers—at their own risk. By making and confirming a booking, you acknowledge the inherent risks associated with adventure travel.

(b) Waiver of Liability: Cape Xtreme and its employees, Agents and Third-Party Providers accept no responsibility for death, illness, injury, or any subsequent medical expenses suffered by you or any member of your party, except as required by law in cases of proven gross negligence. This waiver applies to the entire duration of your itinerary

(c) Financial Responsibility: Cape Xtreme and its Third-Party Providers will not be held liable for any medical costs, emergency evacuation expenses, or loss of income resulting from injury, illness, or death, save for instances where such costs arise from the proven gross negligence of the company. It is the client’s sole responsibility to ensure they have adequate insurance—including specific "High-Risk Activity" and "Emergency Evacuation" coverage—valid for the duration of their time in Southern Africa

17. Disabled Clients, Physical Fitness & Accessibility

(a) Participant Fitness: By confirming your booking, you guarantee that you and all members of your party are in good health and possess the physical fitness required for the specific activities chosen. Cape Xtreme and our Third-Party Providers reserve the right to exclude any participant from an activity if their physical condition poses a safety risk to themselves or others.

(b) Accessibility Limitations: Please be aware that many of our tours involve rugged terrain, specialized adventure equipment, and standard transport vehicles that are not equipped for travelers with physical disabilities or mobility constraints. Similarly, many accommodation options provided by Third-Party Providers may have limited accessibility.

(c) Mandatory Disclosure: To ensure your safety and comfort, any client with a disability or medical condition that may affect their ability to participate must notify Cape Xtreme prior to booking. Cape Xtreme and its Third-Party Providers accept no liability for any complications, injuries, or deaths arising from a participant's failure to disclose pre-existing and existing medical conditions, allergies, or physical limitations. We will endeavor to assist with specialized arrangements where possible, but we cannot guarantee that all activities or facilities will be suitable

18. Activity-Specific Restrictions (Height, Weight, Age, and Health)

(a) Mandatory Requirement to Check Restrictions: Many activities, particularly those managed by Third-Party Providers (such as, but not limited to, Skydiving, Paragliding, Bungee Jumping, Shark Cage Diving, Ziplining, etc.), have strict safety restrictions regarding weight, height, age, and physical health. Participants may be required to sign a separate indemnity form provided by Third-Party Suppliers.

(b) Responsibility to Disclose: It is the sole responsibility of the Booking Holder to review these specific restrictions on the relevant activity page or information sheet before making/confirming a booking. If any participant is close to or exceeds these limits, this must be disclosed to Cape Xtreme at the time of booking.

(c) Forfeiture of Funds (Non-Refundable Status): Should a participant be turned away by Cape Xtreme or a Third-Party Provider on the day of the activity because they do not meet the safety requirements (and these details were not cleared in writing beforehand), no refund will be issued.
• Why this policy exists: Because your slot was reserved, Cape Xtreme and the provider cannot fill it at the last minute. This will be treated as a "Late Cancellation," and 100% of the activity cost will be forfeited.

19. Optional Activities & Excursions

(a) Pricing & Payment: Optional activities are not included in the base price of your tour, activity or package. Unless arranged in advance, these extras must be paid for directly at the time of the activity.

(b) Facilitation & Availability:
• Third-Party Providers: All optional activities are operated by independent Third-Party Suppliers. Cape Xtreme facilitates these bookings for your convenience but does not manage the operations.
• No Guarantees: Because these activities are often weather-dependent or subject to minimum participant numbers, they can never be 100% guaranteed. Confirmation may only be possible on the day of the activity.
• Voluntary Participation: These excursions are offered during scheduled free time and are entirely non-compulsory.

(c) Independent Terms: All optional activities are subject to specific Terms and Conditions, safety protocols, and cancellation policies of the Third-Party Provider. By participating, you agree to abide by the provider’s individual requirements.

20. Transport, Pickups, and Itinerary Timing

(a) Availability of Transport: Not all activities include transport. Please verify your booking details to confirm if pickup and drop-off are included. Where included, pickup times can vary significantly by season and activity, sometimes starting as early as 04:00 AM – 06:00 AM.

(b) Confirmation of Pickup Times:
• 24-Hour Notice: Exact pickup times are finalized once bookings close. We will contact you the day before your tour/activity via email and/or phone to confirm your specific time.
• Client Responsibility: You must provide valid contact details and check your email/messages the day before departure. Cape Xtreme is not responsible for missed departures due to unread communications.

(c) Service Areas & Surcharges: Standard pickups are limited to a 5–10km radius of the Cape Town City Center. Pickups outside this radius must be arranged in advance, are subject to operational feasibility, and may incur an additional surcharge.

(d) Delays & Arrival Times:
• Traffic Buffer: Please allow for a 15–30 minute window for traffic. If your driver is more than 15 minutes late, please contact our office immediately if the driver has not been in contact with you already.
• No Guaranteed Drop-off Time: Return times usually fall between ±17:00 (day trips) and ±22:00 (multi-day/Garden Route tours). Due to unpredictable traffic and weather, we cannot guarantee a specific drop-off time.

(e) Connecting Travel (Flights & Bookings): We strongly advise against booking flights or time-sensitive events on the first or last day of your tour or the day of your booked activity. Cape Xtreme accepts no liability and will offer no compensation for missed connections or secondary travel costs resulting from delays beyond our control.

(f) Itinerary Flexibility: Tour itineraries are guidelines only and are subject to change without notice. While we aim to visit all scheduled highlights, the order of events may be reversed or altered. Days are typically long, with arrivals at accommodation occurring in the late afternoon or evening.

21. Accommodation & Room Standards

(a) Preferred Suppliers & Quality: Cape Xtreme and Cape to Addo partner with top-tier South African backpacker lodges/hostels. While these lodges offer professional hospitality, clean facilities, and unique local flair, they are communal in nature. The specific lodges listed in your itinerary are our preferred Third-Party Providers; however, we reserve the right to substitute these with accommodation of a similar standard and star rating based on availability.

(b) Room Types, Upgrades & Occupancy:
• Dorm Rooms (Standard): Our base prices are for shared, mixed-gender dormitory rooms. These typically feature single bunk beds and accommodate between 6 and 14 guests.

Double rooms (2 guests per room) consist of 1 double bed in a private room; must be booked in pairs.

Twin rooms (2 guests per room) consist of 2 single beds in a private room; must be booked in pairs.

Triple & Quad/Family rooms (3-4 guests per room) consists of a double bed with a single bunk bed or single bed or pull-out sofa bed in a private room and must be booked in pairs.

Single rooms are vailable for solo travelers who wish for a private room.

• Quotation & Private Status: Requests for premium accommodation are subject to availability and will be quoted as a custom surcharge. Please note that upgrading to premium accommodation typically transitions the booking from a "Scheduled Group Tour" to a "Private Tour."
• Terms of Service: Once a booking is upgraded to a Private Tour status, it becomes subject to the specific payment and cancellation terms governing Private/Custom tours, as outlined in Sections 5(b) and 10.4.

22. Meals On Tour & Dietary Requirements

(a) Included vs. Excluded Meals: To allow guests the freedom to experience local South African cuisine, most tours do not include all meals. Please refer to your specific itinerary for a breakdown of included meals. Daily free time is scheduled for you to purchase and enjoy food at your own expense. Drinks are always on the client’s own account.

(b) Breakfast Standards: Where breakfast is included, it is served at our Third-Party accommodation providers and typically consists of a "Continental Backpacker" spread (cereals, toast, fruit, tea, coffee, and juice).

• Lunch: Usually taken "on the road" (take-away) at/from local eateries to maximize sightseeing time. Options may be limited. Budget approximately R80 to R150 per lunch.
• Dinner: Generally scheduled during your evening free time. You may dine out at leisure or, where available, book a meal through the lodge. Budget approximately R150 to R300 per dinner.

(d) Dietary Requirements & Allergies:
• Standard Options: Vegetarian options are available upon request. Please notify us of any life-threatening food allergies at the time of booking.
• Specialized Diets: While we strive to accommodate everyone, our Third-Party Suppliers in rural areas may not be able to cater to specialized diets (e.g., Vegan, Halal, Gluten-free, or Lactose-intolerant).
• Client Responsibility: Guests with strict dietary requirements are advised to bring or purchase their own meal replacements. Your guide will assist in finding alternatives where operationally feasible.

23. Luggage & Personal Belongings

(a) Luggage Allowance & Handling:
• Standard Allowance: Each passenger is permitted one main suitcase/backpack and one small "carry-on" bag (e.g., laptop bag or small daypack).
• Self-Service: There are no porters available on our tours. All participants must be able to comfortably manage the size and weight of their own luggage.
• Identification: All items must be clearly labeled with the owner’s name and contact details.

(b) Transit & Fragile Items: Luggage is typically stored in a trailer or the rear of the vehicle. During transit, bags are stacked together and may be subjected to bumpy road conditions.

• Fragile Goods: Do not pack fragile or delicate items in your main luggage. These must be kept on your person or in your carry-on bag. Cape Xtreme and our Third-Party Providers accept no liability for damage to fragile or any items stored in transit areas.

• Theft Disclaimer: While we make every effort to secure vehicles and trailers, Cape Xtreme is not liable for theft, break-ins, or loss of personal property.

24. Scheduled Tour Departures & Minimum Numbers

(a) Our Commitment to Depart: Cape Xtreme recognizes that travel plans are often made well in advance. We aim to guarantee departures for all scheduled group tours; however, all departures remain subject to safety requirements and minimum participant numbers.

(b) Procedures for Low Enrollment: In the rare event that minimum numbers are not met for your departure date, or if you are the sole participant booked, Cape Xtreme will provide the following options:
• Rescheduling: Moving your booking to the next available departure of the same tour.
• Substitution: Shifting your booking to a similar tour or a combination of activities departing within your original travel window.
• Resolution: If no suitable alternative can be found, you will be offered a Travel Credit Voucher or a full refund (less 5% transaction fee in the case of online or POS card transactions made for payment - this represents a direct bank processing cost and is not a revenue-generating charge).

(c) Weather & Safety Force Majeure: Regardless of booking numbers, Cape Xtreme and our Third-Party Providers reserve the right to cancel or suspend any departure due to unsafe weather conditions or other factors beyond our control. In such cases, the terms outlined in Section 10 and/or 1 will apply.

(d) Private Family Tours: Families with children below the minimum age requirements are invited to book a Private "Family-Friendly" Tour. These custom itineraries are tailored to younger travelers and are subject to Private/Custom tour pricing and terms.

(e) Upper Age Limits: While there is no formal upper age limit, our tours are designed for "young-at-heart" travelers. Participants should be aware that itineraries often involve long travel days and moderate physical activity.

26. Smoking & Vaping Policy

(a) Prohibited Areas: For the comfort and safety of all participants, smoking (including e-cigarettes and vaping) is strictly prohibited in the following areas:
• All Tour Vehicles: No smoking is permitted inside vehicles or luggage trailers at any time.
