Once you have selected your experience type and date, the next step in the booking process is the booking package. A booking package will be prepared and emailed to you.  The booking package will contain your Use of Facilities Permit and an invoice for a 50% non-refundable booking deposit.

Please Note: This number of students communicated to the GFC instructor will be used to calculate the final balance owing and an invoice will be sent for the balance. This final balance cannot be changed and is due prior to your experience date. If additional students attend, a supplementary invoice will be prepared and emailed to you. Upon request, an official receipt that day will be supplied.

For Day Experiences, your participant numbers must be confirmed two weeks prior to your experience.
