The refunds are directly processed through the Explore-Share team. The refunds will only be processed after the date of the activity. Usually 24 hours after the date of the activity, Explore-Share sends an e-mail to Tripix asking if the activity has been carried of not. After Tripix answers it was not completed, justifying the reason, the Explore- Share Team will make the arrangements to refund the client as soon as possible.

In case of bad weather, Tripix Azores may cancel activities, as adverse conditions could compromise participants’ safety. During the peak season (May to September), availability is limited, and rebooking for earlier or later dates cannot be guaranteed, although every effort will be made to minimize the impact.

If the activity is canceled, the amount paid can be applied to an alternative activity (subject to availability).

If preferred, a refund will be issued through Explore-Share team.

Tripix Azores operates year-round; however, depending on the time of year, there may be limited availability from certain local producers or museums. Please note that museums are closed on Mondays throughout the year. Wine tastings are also unavailable on Sundays and public holidays during the peak season (June to September), and closed on weekends and holidays during the low season (October to May). We make every effort to schedule tours that include these visits on alternative dates.

During the low season, Tripix Azores — like many tour operators — scales back its operations. Weekend tours will only run with a minimum of four participants. If fewer than four people register, the tour will not proceed as scheduled. In this case, you may choose to reschedule or upgrade to a private tour so that the activity can take place.

All activities are subject to weather conditions.
