Booking Process
What happens after I book?
Once your payment is approved, you will receive a personalised Experience Oz (or partner branded) print-at-home voucher for each tour, attraction, activity or service booked. This voucher will also be emailed to you as a confirmation of your booking. Please contact us if you have any difficulties in opening your email attachment.
Should I reconfirm my tour?
For all tour products that require a booking date, it is essential that you reconfirm 48 hours prior to booking date directly with the tour operator (product supplier). Their details will be on your voucher under Tour Operator (Supplier) Details.
If I need additional tour information, where can I find it?
The tour operator's contact details are located in the middle of the tour voucher (or under Supplier Details). Please contact the tour operator directly, or feel free to contact one of our representatives at info@experienceoz.com.au if you still require assistance.

I want to change the number of travellers before booking completion - how can I do it?
Edit the product you wish to book on the travel cart under, Review Order, click Change Details and change the number of travellers to get an updated price and availability.
Can I change the number of travellers after I’ve made the booking?
Yes. If you need to add more, simply buy another ticket. If you need less, please contact our Reservations Team and we will assist you, subject to our refund and cancellation policy. If your booking involves seating requests, please contact the operator directly to pass on your request and they will see if it is possible.
Can I make a change to the date I booked if I need to?
Yes. If you need to change the date, please email our friendly Reservations Team, and they can assist with this.
Can Experience Oz make amendments to booking instantly, or must they be approved by the operator first?
Typically, we will need to check with the operator first as they can let us know about availability and options. If you need to amend anything, please email us on info@experienceoz.com.au and provide us with your name, voucher number, what needs amending and your best contact details.
Payments & Security
How can I pay for my booking?
You can make a payment online or over the phone. We accept Visa and Mastercard, Afterpay and Zippay. You can pay using Afterpay and Zippay online only.
Are my details secure?
Yes. Your details are secure and shopping with Experience Oz and our partners is secure! We use a high-level SSL certificate with Thawte encryption that hides your credit card number and PKN so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.
What is "Big Red Group" on my bank statement?
Experience Oz is a part of the Big Red Group family. The name "Big Red Group" may show on your bank statement for any Experience Oz transactions.
I have a coupon code for a discount, how do I use it?
Go you! That’s great. All you need to do is enter the coupon code online at checkout in the coupon code section.
My payment has been voided, what do I do now?
When a customers transaction fails, this means we had an issue confirming the booking with the tour supplier. Please note that your credit card has NOT been charged and the ‘Pending Transaction’ amount will disappear from your bank statement within 48hrs of the failed purchase.
If my payment has been voided, is my voucher still generated?
Unfortunately if your payment has been voided, it means we had an issue confirming the booking with the tour supplier. As a result, no voucher or booking confirmation is generated and we suggest not trying the request again as it may result in multiple transactions. Please note that your credit card has NOT been charged and the ‘Pending Transaction’ amount will disappear from your bank statement within 48hrs of the failed purchase.
Can you help us get our bank to fast track the payment?
We can do our best. We can send a ‘Fund Release’ template to your bank to request the release to be expedited.
I still want to book, how can I make that happen?
It’s best you give our helpful Reservation Team a call directly on 1300 935 532, and they can ensure your booking is made without any additional voided payments.
Cancellations & Refunds
Is it possible to cancel my booking?
If you need to cancel based on a cancelled flight, extreme weather, illness or bereavement, you may be covered by our Cancellation Guarantee. In all other circumstances, cancelling a booking with Experience Oz can result in cancellation fees being applied by Experience Oz, as outlined below. Additional fees may be levied by the individual supplier/operator (see your Experience Oz Voucher for specific details). When cancelling any booking you will be notified via email, facsimile or telephone of the total cancellation fees.
Do you have an early cancellation policy?
If you cancel at least 7 calendar days in advance of the scheduled departure or commencement time, there is no cancellation fee. If you cancel between 3 and 6 calendar days in advance of the scheduled departure or commencement time, you will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. If you cancel within 2 calendar days of the scheduled departure or commencement time, you will be charged a 100% cancellation fee. These cancellation terms are subject to change and can be dependent on the individual tour operator/supplier.
