GOOD TO KNOW

Our booking & rental conditions

Can I change my reservation?

Rescheduling of bookings can be done free of charge up to 7 days in advance by email via kano@kanoschool.nl.

Changes to the number of participants in a group activity can be communicated to us up to 5 working days in advance by email via kano@kanoschool.nl. If any changes in the number of persons are not communicated to us (in time), we will unfortunately be forced to charge 100% of the price per person.

For group bookings, a minimum number of 6 people or a minimum amount of 150 euros remains in force.

Can I cancel my reservation?
Bookings can be canceled free of charge up to 7 days in advance by email via kano@kanoschool.nl.
Will the activity continue if the weather is bad?
Normally the activities always continue. A splash of rain isn’t a problem if you do go out on the water.

The weather in the Netherlands is unpredictable and weather forecasts change often. For this reason, the landlord looks at the weather forecast 12-24 hours before the start and will contact you if the weather is very bad (strong wind and/or permanent heavy rain) and therefore unsafe or not suitable for going on the water. In this case, the landlord offers you the option to move the booking free of charge to a date to be determined in the same year.
