Early Bird Discount

  • Bookings must be made directly with Rockjumper Birding Tours/Rockjumper Birding Limited and must be done at least 12 months before the tour start date to qualify.
  • The discount has to be confirmed in writing by our office at the time of signing up.
  • Discounts cannot be claimed after the tour has operated.
  • The first 2 spaces qualify for the early bird discount on a trip that is limited to 6 – 9 participants.
    The first 3 spaces qualify for the early bird discount on a trip that is limited to 10 – 12 participants.
  • No early bird discount can be applied in conjunction with any other discount or promotion (If a tour is on special, then the special takes preference over the early bird discount).
  • All enquiries are fielded on a first come, first serve basis. A completed booking form and a paid-up deposit are required for a booking to be confirmed and to qualify for the early bird discount.
  • The 10% early bird discount only applies to the main tour price. Flights and single supplement will not be discounted.
  • The 10% early bird discount only applies to tours that are longer than 8 days.
  • The 10% early bird discount does not apply to custom tours.
  • The 10% early bird discount does not apply to cruises other than our Remote West Papuan Islands Cruise and Far Eastern Indonesia Cruise.
  • If the tour is cancelled for any reason, such as a lack of tour participants, the early bird discount becomes invalid and cannot be applied to another tour.
  • This is not open to agent bookings;
  • The tour needs to reach minimum group size for discounts to apply. If a small group supplement comes into effect we will not be able to honour any discounts for that particular tour.
  • North American tours, and cruises through our partners do not qualify for the early bird discount
