Terms & Conditions
Important information for all bookings made through Green Tours Seychelles
Welcome to Green Tours Seychelles. These Terms and Conditions outline the legal responsibilities, limitations, and policies governing all bookings made through our website. By completing a booking on Green Tours Seychelles, you acknowledge, understand, and agree to the terms set out below. Accordingly, if you do not agree, please refrain from using our service.
Green Tours Seychelles operates exclusively as an online booking platform connecting customers with independently owned and operated tour providers in Seychelles. Green Tours Seychelles does not run, supervise, control, or manage any tours listed on the website.
1. Role of Green Tours Seychelles
Green Tours Seychelles acts solely as an intermediary between customers and third-party tour operators.
- We do not own boats, vehicles, or equipment used on tours.
- We do not employ the guides, captains, drivers, or staff who deliver the tours.
- We do not oversee the day-to-day running, maintenance, or safety protocols of any operator.
All tours, activities, transfers, and services booked through Green Tours Seychelles are provided entirely by independent operators. Responsibility for delivering the service lies with the selected tour provider.
2. Liability and Disclaimer
Because Green Tours Seychelles is not the operator of any tour, we therefore cannot be held responsible for:
- Injury, illness, death, or medical incidents
- Loss or damage to personal property
- Delays, changes, or cancellations due to weather, ocean conditions, mechanical issues, or operational decisions by the tour provider
- Incidents occurring on boats, vehicles, islands, beaches, or any location visited during the tour
- Misconduct, negligence, or errors by third-party operators
- Variations in itinerary, activity availability, wildlife sightings, or environmental conditions
By booking through Green Tours Seychelles, you agree that participation in any tour is entirely at your own risk and that Green Tours Seychelles bears no responsibility for any event arising from your participation in a tour conducted by a third-party operator.
3. Tour Operator Terms
Each operator may have its own policies regarding cancellation, changes, safety requirements, medical restrictions, age limits, and inclusions/exclusions.
By booking through Green Tours Seychelles, you agree to comply with:
- The individual tour operator’s terms
- All instructions provided by the operator before and during the tour
- All safety protocols, equipment usage guidelines, and environmental rules
Green Tours Seychelles is not responsible for any consequences arising from a guest’s failure to comply with operator instructions.
4. Booking Confirmation
When you make a booking on Green Tours Seychelles:
- You receive an automated confirmation email acknowledging your request.
- Your details are forwarded to the relevant tour operator.
- The operator then contacts you directly to finalise timing, pickup arrangements, meeting points, and any additional details.
Green Tours Seychelles is not responsible for delays or communication gaps between guests and operators, though we will always help facilitate contact if needed. Contact us by email, WhatsApp or via our contact form.
5. Payments
Payment terms vary depending on the tour operator. Some operators require payment upfront, while others accept payment on the day of the tour.
Green Tours Seychelles will always display the payment requirement clearly. By proceeding, you accept that:
- Payments may be processed by the tour operator directly
- Payment disputes should be resolved with the operator
- Green Tours Seychelles is not liable for refund decisions or payment processing issues handled by third-party providers
6. Cancellations and Amendments
Cancellation policies differ between operators and are set by them, not by Green Tours Seychelles.
Guests are responsible for familiarising themselves with the cancellation policy of the specific tour operator before booking.
In the event of cancellation due to weather or operational reasons:
- The operator will offer a rescheduled date, alternative tour, or refund, depending on their policy.
- Green Tours Seychelles is not obliged to provide refunds, as the service itself is delivered by the operator.
Green Tours Seychelles is not liable for expenses resulting from cancellations, including flights, taxis, accommodation, or other non-refundable arrangements.
7. Weather and Marine Conditions
Marine tours are highly dependent on weather and sea conditions. Decisions regarding safety and feasibility of departure are made exclusively by the tour operator.
Guests acknowledge that:
- Weather may cause last-minute changes or delays
- Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed
- Sea conditions may vary and could affect comfort levels
Green Tours Seychelles cannot be held responsible for weather-related adjustments.
8. Guest Responsibility and Conduct
Guests must ensure they are physically capable of participating in the activity. This includes:
- Checking medical restrictions
- Notifying operators of any relevant health conditions
- Following safety instructions and wearing provided equipment
Guests may be refused participation without refund if they:
- Arrive intoxicated
- Behave in a disruptive or unsafe manner
- Fail to follow instructions from staff
- Pose a risk to themselves or others
9. Accuracy of Information
Green Tours Seychelles strives to provide accurate, up-to-date information. However:
- Tour descriptions, timings, prices, and details are supplied by the operators
- Operators may update information without prior notice
- Green Tours Seychelles cannot guarantee that all content will always be complete or error-free
We recommend confirming key details with the operator prior to your tour.
10. Environmental and Conservation Fees
Some islands and attractions, such as Moyenne Island or the Botanical Gardens, require conservation or entrance fees. These are not included in most tours unless explicitly stated.
Guests are responsible for paying these fees directly to the relevant authority or operator.
11. Limitations of Our Platform
Green Tours Seychelles is a digital platform and cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. Accordingly, we are not liable for:
- Technical issues
- Website outages
- Delayed or failed transmissions
- Errors caused by internet service providers
12. Amendments to These Terms
Green Tours Seychelles may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The version displayed on our website at the time of booking will apply.
13. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws applicable to the jurisdiction in which Green Tours Seychelles operates. Any disputes shall be handled through the appropriate legal channels within that jurisdiction.
