Changes to or cancellation of activities

  • A program for a guided outdoor activity is never but a preliminary plan. External conditions (weather, wind, precipitation, snow and ice conditions) determine what we can do and not. We reserve the right to change the content and geographical location of all activities, to ensure a safe activity, and the best possible experience based on the prevailing conditions.
    • We reserve the right to, for safety reasons, cancel any planned activity. The decision to cancel is entirely reserved for Kayak in Grundsund/Balanspunkten.
    • We reserve the right to cancel any planned activity where the number of participants is too small.
    • Any activity cancelled by us will be refunded in full.
    • We do not cover any additional costs (accommodation, travel, etc.) that a customer may have when an activity is cancelled.
