Please be aware that stargazing tours are highly dependent on clear weather conditions. In the event of adverse weather, such as cloud cover, rain, or other unfavourable conditions that prevent visible stargazing, the session may be cancelled.

Under such circumstances, Anita Travels / SG-Trekkers will not entertain claims for a refund. However, we will make every effort to reschedule the stargazing session to a later date, subject to availability. If rescheduling is not feasible, participants may be offered alternative experiences, such as indoor astronomy sessions or virtual stargazing tours, depending on the resources available.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, as these policies are in place to ensure the safety and satisfaction of all participants.
