Changes, cancellations & refunds

Cancel a booking or request a refund

How cancellation windows work, how to request a cancellation and when the money returns.

5 min read

Each option carries its own cancellation policy set by the supplier and shown before you pay — typically free cancellation up to 24 or 48 hours before the start time.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Check the policy

    Open the booking; the cancellation deadline and refund percentage are shown on the item, with a countdown when the deadline is near.

  2. 2

    Request the cancellation

    Choose Request cancellation, pick a reason and confirm. Inside a free-cancellation window the refund quote is calculated instantly.

  3. 3

    Wait for the outcome

    Fully refundable requests are approved automatically. Outside the window a Tripoora agent reviews the case with the supplier, usually within 48 hours.

  4. 4

    Track the refund

    The booking timeline shows requested → approved → processed. Card refunds normally take 5–10 working days to appear on your statement.

  5. 5

    Keep the receipt

    A refund receipt PDF is attached to the booking and emailed to you once the refund is processed.

Good to know

  • Need a different date rather than a refund? Message the supplier from the booking — many can move you free of charge.
  • Weather-dependent activities are usually cancelled by the supplier with a full refund; watch the booking chat for updates.

Frequently asked

What if I do not show up?

No-shows are not refundable unless the option's policy says otherwise.

Do you refund the whole payment?

Refunds follow the policy shown at booking: a full refund inside the free window, a partial or no refund outside it.

Can I cancel one item only?

Yes. Cancellation is per booking item, so the rest of your trip stays intact.
