Please note that once a trip begins we reserve the right to make changes in the itinerary for the safety and comfort of the guests.
Coronavirus Clause
If Hollyford Valley Walks are not able to operate or the public are not able to travel due to restrictions imposed by government, you will receive a full refund. However, if you contract Coronavirus or are in managed isolation due to an individual case of Coronavirus, you will need to seek an insurance claim.
If there are border restrictions in New Zealand at any time on or after 1st September 2021 due to Coronavirus, Hollyford Valley Walks reserves the right to cancel any booking where:
i. The booking was made from outside New Zealand
ii. Any person that the booking is for is not in New Zealand

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend all guests, both New Zealand citizens, residents and overseas visitors, purchase travel insurance. This should guard against loss of fares paid should you have to cancel the trip for any reason within our cancellation period. Travel insurance may cover cancellations due to reasons such as falling ill or having an accident prior to the trip, a family bereavement, missing a flight to Queenstown and therefore missing the trip departure etc.
Once your trip has commenced, ACC (Accident Compensation Corporation) will cover any accidents that occur on the track for both New Zealand citizens, residents and overseas visitors. Should any guest suffer an illness on the track such as a stroke or heart attack, St John New Zealand will cover the cost of a helicopter evacuation for all New Zealand citizens and those holding a work or permanent residency visa and long term Australian residents. All other tourists will have to pay for such an evacuation.
