Club Canary always aim to provide your excursion as booked. But if, for example, there are not enough people booked on your excursion, there is a chance we need to cancel it.

Club Canary will arrange for you to receive the services that make up the excursion that you choose and that we confirm. These services will be provided through independent local suppliers at destination contracted by us. We are responsible for making sure that each part of the excursion you book with us is provided to a reasonable standard and as was advertised by us (or as changed and accepted by you). We have taken all reasonable care to make sure that all the services which make up your excursion advertised by us are provided by efficient and reputable businesses. These businesses should follow local standards.
Your Agreement With Us
Club Canary is a very busy tour company, working with over 120 partners. About 70% of these partners are small businesses and work quite old-fashioned. These companies only take bookings from tour companies over the phone, and record all the reservations in a log book. This log changes every 5 minutes and is virtually impossible to update online, even if Club Canary tries to do so, it will always be more guidelines than exact availability data.
Important Notes Everywhere On The Website
Because of this, Club Canary has mentioned many times on the website and on social media that booking ahead is necessary. Should you not do this, you should follow the clearly stated booking advice above the shopping cart button of the product in question. This message normally states that if you book within a certain time frame you must first contact Club Canary customer service to check availability. When you accept our terms and conditions it means that you have valued the booking notifications and have followed the advice given by the Club Canary website, or that it was not applicable to the experience you were booking. However, should you have broken this rule and ignored the unmissable booking notifications, and your booked experience is not available you accept the following terms and conditions by agreeing to these terms and conditions:
Please note if you choose to take another excursion, or reschedule to another day. You are not entitled to cancel this experience for a refund. You may, however, reschedule the day 1 time for free up to 48 hours in advance. (These problems cause Club Canary great expense, due to: additional staff work time, often lost advertising fees and transaction fees).
Some Club Canary activities and services always include a pick-up service and others offer this as a gift for your reservation. When you book with us and it says “pick up service in the south of Tenerife” it means the tourist area where most tourists stay and where the hotels are located. South Tenerife includes: Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas, Costa Adeje, La Caleta and Playa Paraíso. Anything beyond that does not, or this must first be agreed with a Club Canary staff member. Canceling your activity because you find out after the booking that your accommodation falls outside the free pick-up service of your booked excursion is not acceptable. In addition, the pick up service is under the responsibility of our partner. Club Canary should provide the correct meeting time and location on your ticket, but it is up to the partner in question to arrive on time and up to you to be ready on time. This service may not be available even if it is indicated that it is. This may be because the pick-up transport is broken, or you have booked rather last minute and all the places in the transport are fully booked. It may be that a small compensation is searched for to cover the Taxi costs, but Club Canary is not obliged to do so.
Club Canary is not responsible for any Illness, suffer injury or death directly as a result of any excursion/trip you bought with Club Canary. In accepting these conditions you agree that in any of the above cases Club Canary will not be responsible or financially accountable. However, you do allow in the event of a major accident, that we may share your information with local authorities or family/spouses of yours.
When you confirm your booking, you are accepting on behalf of all persons under the booking that the terms of this agreement, constitute the entire agreement between us with regard to your booking and your excursions arrangements. You also consent to our processing personal information about you and other members of your party. Where the context permits, reference to ‘you’ and ‘your’ will include you and all persons under this booking. It is your responsibility to comply with all passport, visa and other immigration requirements. Your passport and travel documents must be intact, you may be refused travel if they are damaged or have been tampered with. Club Canary does not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with these requirements.
It is your responsibility to give Club Canary correct contact information about you. This includes a telephone number + country code and an email address. If we have received false information and are unable to reach you via WhatsApp or email, you are responsible and will not be entitled to a refund as this will cover any possible losses. Club Canary reservations must always be manually confirmed and transmitted, therefore bookings can only be confirmed during Club Canary’s business hours. After your reservation you will receive an email with information on how to contact Club Canary via WhatsApp with your order number. Club Canary WhatsApp number (+ 34 604 105 055) is a business number which means that by law, we cannot send you a message from this number first, and therefore you must start the conversation with us.
Club Canary offers its customers the possibility to book activities with only a deposit, and also gives good cancellation conditions. Each experience has its own unique cancellation policy, which you can always find in the experience information. Generally, cancellation policies are between 24-72 hours depending on availability and exclusivity. Luxury boat rentals for larger boats often come with special conditions that must be respected. The time counts from the agreed upon meeting time or opening time of a particular park. If you are within the rules, you can easily cancel free of charge. We ask you to do this via email (office@clubcanary.com) or via WhatsApp (+34 604 105 055). Your cancellation is only valid if your order number is included, and must be sent from a telephone number or email address that is also listed in the order you placed.
Booking Changes And Cancellation Flexibility at Club Canary
Sometimes, Club Canary receives requests to change the booking to another date. While we strive to accommodate where possible, it’s important to understand that if this request falls outside the original free cancellation policy, and Club Canary crew agrees to the change, the flexibility of free cancellation or the option for a refund (including the deposit) may no longer apply, unless explicitly stated otherwise by a Club Canary agent. This policy is in place to prevent situations where a change of date—essentially a favor—could be exploited to cancel for free subsequently. Additionally, if on your changed date the tour or trip gets cancelled due to weather conditions or other reasons beyond our control, Club Canary will do its best to find a suitable alternative. However, if this is not possible, please be aware that you do not have the right to a refund (at least for the deposit) since it was a favor to change your date.
Club Canary has special contracts with each partner that we have to accept regarding cancellations. If a client does not respect the conditions, Club Canary will receive a fine. The deposit you pay normally by far does not cover the penalty, for this reason many other tour companies always accept the full amount. Should you still cancel your booking in a respectful manner, there will be no additional costs to your deposit.
Exclusive & VIP Excursions
For certain trips such as luxury getaways and private boat trips, special conditions may apply. These will be stated in the policy and sent to you on a booking notification form, and by accepting these terms and conditions you are agreeing to them and you will be aware of any additional cancellation fees that may be sent to you as an invoice to cover the loss in case you cancel your booking last minute.
Not showing up and not letting us know anything brings additional damage. Possibly the tour you booked is now running late because they are waiting for you, both our partners and Club Canary team have to investigate what happened, wasting a lot of time. In addition it will damage our reputation towards our partner. To cover possible damages you confirm by signing our terms and conditions that you agree that we have to bill you for 40% of the amount you were supposed to pay, if you don’t show up without notice or simply forget about your excursion. This amount must be paid within 7 working days otherwise a reminder will be sent every week with an amount increase of 20%.
Club Canary is committed to ensuring a seamless booking experience. However, once you participate in an experience, the responsibility for service quality shifts to our third-party partners. Club Canary does not issue refunds directly unless explicitly permitted in writing by the experience provider. This is subject to the refund aligning with our terms and not conflicting with other conditions. Requests for refunds submitted less than 48 hours post-experience will only be considered under exceptional circumstances, such as a medical emergency with supporting documentation. Refund requests made later than 48 hours after the experience will generally not be entertained, and Club Canary is not obliged to respond to these requests, unless substantiated by significant reasons like hospitalization. This measure is in place due to numerous instances of unjustified refund demands following holiday periods.
Handling Complaints:
Club Canary oversees the booking process but is not present during the actual experiences. Responsibility for the conduct of the activity lies with our partners, whose rules, licenses, and policies apply. Should you have any complaints during your experience, it is essential to address them directly with the service provider on-site. If the complaint is acknowledged by our partner and a refund is deemed appropriate, they must contact Club Canary to facilitate this process. If our partner offers a partial refund or compensatory gesture (e.g., free photos), and you accept it, this is considered a resolution to the complaint. Further demands post this resolution are not valid and will not be entertained.
By accepting these terms, you acknowledge that Club Canary’s role is limited to facilitating bookings and that any grievances related to the actual experiences must be resolved directly with the service provider.
Club Canary strives to offer the best experiences, but we are not directly responsible for the performance of individual activities or their staff. We encourage you to share your genuine feedback on the specific page on our website where you booked the experience. This not only helps inform future travelers but also maintains transparency. Please ensure your feedback is constructive and directly pertains to the experience booked. Reviews that are posted on our third-party platforms and do not directly relate to the services provided by Club Canary can lead to confusion. By agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge that Club Canary reserves the right to request the removal of any review that is misdirected or posted out of frustration, which could be perceived as an attempt to influence a refund. This behavior is considered a form of blackmail under our policy. Furthermore, having accepted our terms and conditions, you accept that requests for review removal on platforms like Google, Trustpilot, Trip Advisor, Facebook, Yelp, or Trust Index must be honored if it’s evident the review is not about a Club Canary experience.
Feedback:
Club Canary is committed to providing exceptional service. While we cannot issue refunds without our partner’s permission, we are open to listening to your feedback. We may issue a warning to our partner or discontinue our partnership based on the feedback received. In cases where a refund is permissible, Club Canary can only return the amount up to what you have paid us, specifically the deposit. The balance is handled directly by the partner, and we can’t touch this. If you are not satisfied with the resolution offered, you may contact the partner directly to request a complaint form. Remember, feedback about our staff must be substantiated with appropriate evidence.
When you engage with Club Canary, you agree to uphold standards of honesty and integrity. Under no circumstances will you engage in blackmail or coercive behaviors towards Club Canary, its company, or its workers. This includes:
• Threatening to post negative reviews if your demands are not met.
• Threatening to disseminate negative content on social media platforms relating to Club Canary or its employees.
• Uninvited and unwelcome visits to our office, refusing to leave when requested.
• Making threats or engaging in hostile behavior via live chat, phone, or in-person.
Consequences of Prohibited Behavior:
If you engage in any of the above behaviors, Club Canary will document the incidents, including messages and video evidence. Engaging in such actions will result in a mandatory fine. If the fine is not settled within 10 days and no resolution is found, Club Canary reserves the right to cease all direct communication with you and will refer the matter to our legal counsel. Legal claims will then be initiated starting at 6,000€ for cases of general misconduct and escalating to 10,000€ or more in cases involving physical abuse or stalking of Club Canary staff.
Fraudulent Activities and False Claims:
In situations where there is evidence of severe misconduct or payment fraud, Club Canary is obligated to protect e-commerce integrity and will file an official fraud report. This may initiate an investigation involving scrutiny of your provided payment details, such as credit card and bank information. Club Canary retains the right to share your details with authorities if there is an assumption of scam or fraudulent payment activity.
Additionally, if false claims are made in an attempt to receive refunds, Club Canary reserves the right to request photo or video evidence from the day of the service from our partners. If footage reveals that the experience was enjoyed contrary to the claims made, this discrepancy will be treated as a fraudulent attempt to manipulate our refund policy. In such cases, Club Canary is compelled to file a fraud report. This measure is crucial in the tourism sector where some visitors may never return to the Canary Islands and could look for opportunities to illicitly reclaim money.
By agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge the seriousness of these policies and the implications of violating them.
Club Canary reserve the right to refuse to accept you as a customer or continue dealing with you. Reasons to reject you as a client could be: believe your behavior is disruptive, causes unnecessary inconvenience, is threatening or abusive, you damage property, you upset, annoy, disturb, or put any other person in the excursion or our staff or agents in any risk or danger, on the telephone, in writing or in person. For the purposes of this section refers to ‘you’ or ‘your’ includes any other person in your party.
These booking terms and conditions shall be governed by national applicable legislation of Spain (Canary Islands) where the excursion has taken place. Shall a conflict be taken to court by the parties they hereby submit and consent, expressly renouncing to any other jurisdiction, to the courts of law of the user’s/company place of residence.
Use of Imagery in Listings
Club Canary prioritizes authenticity in its visual representations. While many of our listings feature original photos, there are instances, particularly with bus tours, where we might employ edited or AI-generated imagery. This is to provide potential tourists a clearer picture of the expected experience when an original photo might not suffice.
For such listings, the first one or two images might be enhanced. We ensure never to exceed two edited images to avoid any misrepresentation. Claims for refunds based on discrepancies between the experience and these images won’t be entertained, as customers acknowledge and accept our terms and conditions during booking. We urge customers with any doubts to reach out to our agents for clarifications.
To summarize, while our photos aim to depict experiences as accurately as possible, some shots, like a drone image of La Gomera island, are used for their illustrative value rather than pinpoint accuracy. They capture the essence, not necessarily every detail.
Content And Styling Imitation
We value our brand’s uniqueness. Emulating our style, messaging, fonts, colors, logos, or slogans could lead to legal repercussions.
Photos & Videos
Many images on our website are the property of Club Canary, while others are used with explicit permission from our partners. All photos are distinctively marked by us, including those with special filters. Unauthorized commercial use of these visuals will incur charges:
Text Duplication
Our textual content is one-of-a-kind. Reproduction of these texts on other commercial platforms may lead to our legal team requesting evidence of your publishing dates. The same applies to content replication from our social media channels, which is seen as trademark infringement. Authenticity checks will involve our time-stamp blockchain technology and potential Google search ranking comparisons. The minimum charge to avoid legal proceedings in such cases is 4500€.
Club Canary has a large team working hard on the website on a daily basis. Copying content from us for your own interest is considered stealing.
By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted all the provisions contained within, and that they represent a binding agreement between you and Club Canary, to which both parties will adhere in good faith.
