(Updated on 04/06/2025)

The cancellation charges are as shown below:


  1. 121 days or more before trip start date – 0%;
  2. 120-86 days before trip start date – 25% or loss of deposit if higher;
  3. 85-71 days before trip start date – 50%;
  4. 70-46 days before trip start date – 75%;
  5. 45-21 days before trip start date – 90%;
  6. 20 days or less before trip start date – 100%.


Our trips do not include a cancellation insurance nor a comprehensive travel insurance. We strongly recommend contracting an adequate cancellation insurance and travel insurance via your preferred insurance company.


Cancellation by Geographic Algarve


Geographic Algarve reserves the right to cancel any trip if the minimum number of participants is not reached or a force majeure event in destination (e.g. natural disasters) makes it impossible to execute a considerable part of the program. However, Geographic Algarve will always seek to replace any inexecutable part of the trip by an equivalent alternative to avoid a general cancellation. In case of a general cancellation, you will receive a full refund.


II. General Booking Conditions

(Updated on 04/06/2025)


Geographic Algarve Vasco Salgueiro Animação Turística Unipessoal Lda, (from here on “Geographic Algarve”, “we”, “us” and “our”) headquartered in Rua J.P. Sampaio Bruno 24-2ºEsq., 8500-696 Portimão, Portugal, with RNAAT licence number 4/2001 accepts bookings subject to the following conditions.


1. Your trip contract


The contract is between Geographic Algarve and you, being any person travelling or intending to travel on a trip operated by us including any person who is added or substituted after booking. We both agree that Portuguese law (and no other) will apply to your contract and to any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us (except as set out below). We both also agree that any dispute, claim or other matter of any description (whether or not involving any personal injury) which arises between us must be dealt with by the courts of Portugal only. No employee of Geographic Algarve other than a director has authority to vary or omit any of these terms. No promise of a discount or refund will be binding on us unless confirmed by us in writing.


2. To secure your booking


To secure a booking, Geographic Algarve or our authorised travel agent must receive payment of the minimum deposit of €250,00 per person, (or full payment if booking within 90 days of the start of your trip or at an earlier stage for some trips). A higher deposit will be payable if any supplier requires additional payment at the time of booking / prior to balance due date. On occasions, full payment for a service may be required at the time of booking. The applicable deposit will be confirmed at the time of booking. All clients (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date), whether booking in person, by telephone, via our website, by e-mail or facsimile or by any other means, will be deemed to have agreed to the following four conditions:


a) they have read and accepted our Booking Conditions and information pages contained in our brochure and/or on our website.

b) they appreciate and accept the risks involved in the type of travel proposed in the trip.

c) they do not suffer from any pre-existing medical condition or disability which may prevent them from actively participating in the trip. If any person suffers from any medical condition or disability which will or may affect their trip arrangements, please contact us before making your booking to discuss your requirements.

d) the person making the booking confirms that he/she is at least 18 years old and has full authority to enter into a contract on the basis of these conditions on behalf of all persons named on the booking, will be the point person for all communications relating to the booking, and confirms that all such persons are fully aware of and accept these conditions. That person also consents to the use of personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and is authorised on behalf of all persons named on the booking to disclose their personal details to us. We reserve the right to decline any booking at our discretion. We will communicate with you by e-mail. You must therefore check your e-mails on a regular basis. We may also contact you by telephone and/or post if we cannot, for whatever reason, contact you by e-mail. It is your responsibility to ensure we have up to date contact information for you at all times. References in these conditions to “send” and “in writing” or similar include communication by e-mail. You should contact us by e-mail if you need to do so for any of the reasons mentioned in these booking conditions (for example, to request an amendment).


3. Payment for your trip


The balance of all monies due must be received by us or our authorised travel agent not later than 90 days before the start of your trip. If you don’t pay your balance by the due date, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and cancellation charges will apply. Any amounts paid by you to an authorised travel agent for trips operated by us are held by the agent on our behalf. Deposit and balance payments must be made in the same currency, and sufficient payment should be sent to ensure the company receives the total invoiced price as guaranteed. In case of direct payment to us, you can pay by bank transfer, credit or debit card.


4. If you change or transfer your booking


Change of Booking


A confirmed group tour departure booking (excluding private groups) can be changed or transferred free of charge to a different departure date or trip, up to 120 days prior to departure. A €50 per booking admin fee applies to any changes and transfers made to non-group holidays and private groups up to 120 days before departure. Thereafter all changes will be treated as cancellations and subject to the cancellation charges mentioned in article 5. Changes are subject to availability and are limited to one transfer during the lifetime of your booking. Additional payment may be required when the newly chosen date or trip has a higher price than the originally booked date or trip. No cash refund will be provided if the cost of the new booking is less than the cost of the original booking.


Transfer of Booking


If you or any member of your party is prevented from travelling, in circumstances which we consider reasonable, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else, subject to the following conditions:


a) that person is introduced by you and satisfies all the conditions applicable to the holiday;

b) we are notified not less than 21 days before departure;

c) you pay any outstanding balance payment, an amendment fee of €50 per person transferring, as well as any additional fees, charges or other costs arising from the transfer;

d) the transferee agrees to these booking conditions and all other terms of the contract between us.


You and the transferee remain jointly and severally liable for payment of all sums. If you are unable to find a replacement, cancellation charges as set out in clause 5 will apply in order to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services.



5. If you cancel your booking


If you cancel your booking or part of your booking, cancellation charges will be imposed. These are calculated from the day written or verbal notification is received by us or our authorised travel agent as a percentage of the total trip price per person cancelling. The cancellation charges are as shown below:


a) 121 days or more before trip start date – 0%;

b) 120-86 days before trip start date – 25% or loss of deposit if higher;

c) 85-71 days before trip start date – 50%;

d) 70-46 days before trip start date – 75%;

e) 45-21 days before trip start date – 90%;

f) 20 days or less before trip start date – 100%.


Our trips do not include a cancellation insurance nor a comprehensive travel insurance. We strongly recommend contracting an adequate cancellation insurance and travel insurance via your preferred insurance company.


6. If you have a complaint


If you have a complaint about any of your trip arrangements, you must inform us as soon as reasonably possible for us to be able to resolve any issue in due time. If you do not complain on the spot this may affect your ability to claim compensation. If your complaint cannot be resolved on the spot you should notify us in writing within 28 days of the end of your trip. If we are unable to mutually resolve your complaint you may call upon the Centro de Arbitragem de Conflitos de Consumo do Algarve, Avª. 5 de Outubro, nº. 55, R/C Dtº. 8000-075 Faro, Portugal.


7. Passports, visas and vaccinations


You are responsible for arranging, and must have, a valid, acceptable passport and any visas and vaccination certificates required for your entire journey and trip. Any information we give about these matters or related items (climate, clothing, baggage, personal gear etc) is given in good faith but without responsibility on our part. We regret we cannot accept any liability if you are refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure on your part to carry all required documentation. If your failure to have any necessary travel or other documents results in fines, surcharges or other financial penalty being imposed on us, you will be responsible for reimbursing us accordingly.


8. Travel and cancellation insurance


You must have travel insurance when you travel with us. You and your belongings are at all times solely at your own risk. You are wholly responsible for arranging your own insurance. You must ensure that you have personal travel insurance with protection for the full duration of the trip in respect of at least medical expenses, injury, death, repatriation, cancellation and curtailment. You should ensure that there are no exclusion clauses limiting or excluding protection for the type of activities included in your trip. You must ensure that all travel insurance purchased meets your particular requirements and you should arrange supplementary insurance if need be.


9. Trip participation and client responsibility


You agree to accept the authority and decisions of our employees, guides and agents whilst on trip with us. If in the opinion of any such person(s) or any other person in a position of authority (such as, for example, a hotel manager), your health, level of fitness or conduct at any time before or during a trip is endangering or appears likely to endanger your health or wellbeing of any third party (including any other clients of Geographic Algarve) or the safe, comfortable or happy progress of the trip, you may be excluded from all or part of the trip without refund or recompense. Where you are excluded, we will have no further responsibility towards you (including any return travel arrangements) and we will not meet any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the exclusion. In the case of ill health, we may make such arrangements we see fit and recover the costs thereof from you. If you commit an illegal act (including, for example, causing any damage) you may be excluded from the trip and we shall cease to have responsibility to/for you as above. No refund will be given for any unused services. When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be made directly to the involved party, being the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier or to us as soon as possible. If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded. You will also be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. You should ensure you have appropriate travel insurance to protect you if this situation arises. If you have any medical condition or disability which may affect your active participation in your trip or the trip arrangements of any other person or have any special requirements as a result of any medical condition or disability (including any which affect the booking process), please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can assist you in considering the suitability of the proposed trip and/or making the booking. In any event, you must give us full details at the time of booking and whenever any change in the condition or disability occurs.

You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition or disability which may affect your active participation in your trip or the trip arrangements of any other person in your party develops after your booking has been confirmed.


10. If we cancel or change your trip


While we will do our best to operate all trips as advertised, we reserve the right to change and correct errors in any of the facilities, services or itineraries described in this brochure and/or on our website at any time before or after your booking is confirmed. Most changes are insignificant. Occasionally, we have to make a significant change. If a significant change has to be made, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible, if there is time before departure. Please note, except for guaranteed departures, our trips require a minimum number of participants to enable us to operate them. If any trip does not have the minimum number of participants required to make it commercially viable, we are entitled to cancel it. We will notify you or your travel agent of cancellation for this reason not less than 6 weeks before the start of your trip.


For guaranteed departures, we count on a minimum of 2 travellers in a shared room or 1 traveller in a private room. In case you are the only booked traveller for that trip and have chosen the shared room fare, the trip can only take place if you agree to pay the single supplement (private room price).


If we need to make a significant change or cancel due to lack of participants or force majeure, we will tell you as soon as possible and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of:


a) (for significant changes) accepting the changed arrangements; or

b) (in case of cancellation) having a refund of all monies paid (unless a supplier does not concede full refund for a valid reason); or

c) accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable or higher standard from us, if available (at no extra cost); or

d) if available, accepting an offer of alternative arrangements of a lower standard, with a refund of the price difference between the original arrangements and the alternative arrangements.


You must notify us of your choice within 5 days of our offer. If we do not hear from you within 5 days, we will contact you again to request notification of your choice. If you fail to respond again within 3 days, we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative booking arrangements.


We regret we cannot meet any visa, vaccination or similar costs in the event of any change or cancellation by us. Similarly, as you are advised only to book fully flexible connecting transport and other arrangements (such as pre or post trip accommodation) which can be cancelled or changed without charge, we cannot pay any cancellation, amendment or other charges you may incur in relation to any arrangements which you have to change or cancel as a result of any change to your trip.


11. Force majeure


Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions we will not be liable or pay you compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected by “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances”, meaning any event beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strife, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination or remain at the travel destination, the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster, unavoidable technical problems with transport and all similar events outside our or the concerned suppliers control.


12. Our responsibility for your trip


Your booking is accepted on the understanding that you appreciate and accept the possible risks inherent in organized adventure travel and that you undertake the trips, treks or expeditions featured in our programme at your own volition.


a) We promise to make sure that the trip arrangements we have agreed to make, perform or provide, as applicable, as part of our contract with you are made, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. This means that, subject to these conditions and the other information which forms part of your contract with us, we will accept responsibility if your contracted trip arrangements are not provided as promised or prove deficient as a result of the failure of ourselves, our employees, agents or suppliers to use reasonable skill and care in making, performing or providing, as applicable, your contracted trip arrangements. Please note, it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us. In addition, we will only be responsible for what our employees, agents and suppliers do or do not do if they were at the time acting within the course of their employment (for employees) or carrying out work we had asked them to do (for agents and suppliers).

b) We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (including loss possessions and loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following: - the act(s) and/or omission(s) you or any member(s) of your party or the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of your trip and which were unavoidable and extraordinary or ‘force majeure’ as defined in clause 12 above.

c) Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which any supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised by us, and we have not agreed to arrange them as part of our contract. In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, in any advertising material or elsewhere, we only promise to use reasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any greater or different liability to you.

d) The promises we make to you about the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of our contract – and the laws and regulations of the country in which your claim or complaint occurred – will be used as the basis for deciding whether the services in question had been properly provided. Please bear in mind that standards of, for example, safety, hygiene, and quality may vary throughout the destinations, services and transport your trip involves, and may be lower than or different to those applicable in your home country. If the particular services, which gave rise to the claim or complaint, complied with the local laws and regulations applicable to those services at the time, the services will be treated as having been properly provided. This will be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws and regulations of your home country which would have applied had those services been provided in your home country.


13. Prompt Assistance


If, whilst you are on holiday, you find yourself in difficulty for any reason, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is appropriate in the circumstances. In particular, we will provide you with appropriate information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance, and assistance with distance communications and finding alternative travel arrangements. Where you require assistance which is not owing to any failure by us, our employees or sub-contractors, we will not be liable for the costs of any alternative travel arrangements or other such assistance you require. Any supplier, airline or other transport supplier may however pay for or provide refreshments and/or appropriate accommodation, and you should make a claim directly to them. Subject to the other terms of these Booking Conditions, we will not be liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur in the above circumstances, if you fail to obtain our prior authorisation before making your own travel arrangements. Furthermore, we reserve the right to charge you a fee for our assistance if the difficulty is caused intentionally by you or a member of your party, or otherwise through your or your party’s negligence.


14. Optional excursions and activities


We may provide you with information (before departure and/or when you are on holiday) about optional activities and excursions which do not form part of your pre-booked holiday arrangements, and which are available in the area you are visiting.

We do not guarantee that any optional activity or excursion mentioned in our brochure, on our website or elsewhere will be available to book during your holiday and / or will operate as advertised as these services do not form part of our contract and can be subject to change. They may not be available for various reasons. Any prices given in advance are indicative only. We will not be liable if you cannot, for whatever reason, book any such activity or excursion.


15. Transport Delays


Our trips do not include transport to the destination. If your flight, train, bus or other means of transport to the destination is delayed for more than an hour, you are obliged to inform us as soon as you are made aware of the delay so we can assure/rebook your transfer to the accommodation from the chosen pick up point (airport, train station, bus station or other point we agreed upon beforehand). If we are not informed in advance about a delay of more than one hour, we may not be able to reschedule the booked transfer and may have to charge you the cost of a new transfer or, if we were not informed at all about your new arrival time, you will have to arrange a transfer to your accommodation by yourselves and at your own cost.


16. Late bookings


We emphasise the importance of making a booking at the earliest opportunity to guarantee your spot. For bookings received within 6 weeks of your trip start date (or at an earlier stage for certain trips), the contract between Geographic Algarve and the client comes into existence as soon as full payment has been received by us or our authorised travel agent.


17. Building and Development


Many resorts and hotel are continuing to develop. We will endeavour to inform you of any building work of which we are aware in advance of your holiday, which we consider may have a material effect on your contracted holiday services. However, it may be difficult to foresee the extent and impact such activity will or may have at any particular time.


18. Brochure / Website / Advertising material accuracy


The information contained in our brochure, on our website and in our other advertising material is believed correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of printing or publication. However, errors may occasionally occur, and information may subsequently change. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen trip (including the price) with us or your travel agent at the time of booking.


19. Data protection privacy statement


Geographic Algarve takes your privacy seriously. We are committed to doing everything we can to protect any personal information provided to us when you enquire about or book a holiday or another travel service with us, when you visit our website, or when you engage with us by other means. This equally applies if someone else makes arrangements on your behalf.


If you handle the arrangements for other travellers, please ensure they are aware of the information contained within this data protection privacy statement and they consent to you acting on their behalf in your dealings with us.


To enable us to make holiday arrangements for you, we may ask you to provide information such as:


a) your name, gender, date of birth, contact details;

b) your preferred rooming arrangements and other special requests (including special categories of personal data such as dietary requirements, which may disclose health matters or your religious or philosophical beliefs, and information about any disability or medical condition which may affect the chosen holiday arrangements.);

c) the name and telephone number of an emergency contact person (whom we will only contact in urgent circumstances while you are away);

d) your passport and travel insurance details;

e) details of your payment card or your bank account (this information is processed using a third-party payment services provider and is not stored by us).


When you call us or correspond with us about your booking, we may record the call for training and quality control purposes and/or keep information on why you contacted us, and the advice we gave you.


On your return from holiday, we may email or post a satisfaction questionnaire to you. This gives us specific feedback on any issue you may have experienced, and statistical data we can amalgamate in order to monitor the quality of our holidays.


We will need to share your data with third party service providers, used in the delivery of your purchased holiday arrangements. These providers include accommodation, restaurants and transport providers; local ground partners and agents; equipment hire operators, including our cycling partners and guides, tutors and local attractions where booked on your behalf.


We keep the information related to your booking for a period which enables us to handle or respond to any complaints or queries and to fulfil our obligations to our third-party suppliers who provided your holiday arrangements. The information may also be retained so that we can continue to improve your experience with us while you engage with and purchase from us.


Security of Personal Data


In carrying out its activities, Geographic Algarve uses a set of appropriate technologies and security procedures to protect your personal data, protecting unauthorized access or disclosure, namely:


a) Physical security measures, such as controlling access by employees, collaborators and visitors to the headquarters premises.

b) Logical security measures, in the component of access to systems and workstations through identity management, authentication and privilege mechanisms; in the network component, the use of firewalls and intrusion detection systems, segregating networks and application environments, as well as encryption of information through secure communication channels.


Access and control of your Personal Data


We allow, upon your request, access, rectification and erasure of personal data. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data.


If the use of your personal data is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw it, without compromising the validity of the data processing carried out up to that moment.


Through the data protection officer (info@geographic-algarve.com) you can request:

a) Information about your data;

b) Information about the processing;

c) The purpose underlying the processing;

d) The correction or updating of data;

e) Your data in an open format;

f) The erasure of data, without prejudice to the legislation applicable to the processing in question.


Personal Data Archive


Your personal data is kept by Geographic Algarve for the period necessary for the processing, in accordance with the respective purpose.

The retention periods may change when the associated public interest, historical, scientific or statistical reasons justify it, compromising Geographic Algarve to adopt appropriate conservation and security measures.


If you fail to provide personal information


Should you fail to provide data required either by law, or necessary to provide your chosen travel arrangements, we will not be able to provide the services you have booked or are attempting to book. This may result in Geographic Algarve being unable to process your booking and be forced to cancel the booking. In this case, we will treat this as a ‘cancellation by you’ in accordance with the relevant Booking Terms & Conditions and notify you accordingly.


Marketing communications


We may use your information to provide you with brochures, newsletters and other communications if you have provided your prior consent or we are permitted under an identified and assessed legitimate interest.


We use data we have collected from bookings, brochure requests and other forms of engagement to decide what marketing information our customers may like to receive, and we have identified this as in our legitimate interest.


We do provide an opportunity to opt-out of this direct marketing during the booking or enquiry process and in subsequent communications, or you may contact us at any time to do so. We have found over the years that the majority of people welcome these communications and, those who do not are happy to let us know so we can ensure no more are sent.


If you ask us to stop sending marketing information, you may continue to receive communications for up to 4 weeks after your requested change while our systems are fully updated.


Images


From time-to-time, our staff, customers and suppliers may take photographs and video footage of trips in progress, including photos and video footage of our customers. These images may be used in future marketing materials and stored physically and digitally. If you do not wish to be filmed or for your pictures to be taken or used in this manner, please advise your guide and/or the photographer at the start of your trip.


20. Changes to the terms and conditions


These Terms and Conditions, which you should read carefully, may be changed, considering that the changes come into force from the date of their publication on this website, with express reference to the date of update.


21. Applicable law and competent jurisdiction
