The sooner you book the better! Please note: we have a 24 hour cancellation policy, which allows you to change or cancel your tour 24 hours prior to the start of your tour.

Summer and holidays are the busiest time of year for us. However, this does not mean if you call the day of the tour, that we won’t have any spots left. But it does mean we cannot guarantee your tour preference or that tour time will still be available

We will take a credit card number at the time of booking to secure your reservations, but will not charge your card until the day of your tour. Payment for your tour will be processed at time of check in. However, when booking online, your card will be charged right away during the check-out process. Guests are welcome to use other methods of payment at time of check in. If you wish to pay with the credit card used to hold your booking, the credit card MUST be presented at time of check in.

If you have a Marble zip gift certificate, you will still need to leave your credit card details to make a reservation. We will not accept reservations without a credit card.

Cancellations made within the 24 hours prior to tour departure will be charged full tour price. Cancellations for groups of 10 or more participants require 72 hour notice or full charges apply. ‘No-shows’ will also be charged full tour price. Charges for cancellations and no-shows will be applied to the credit card provided.

Marble Zip reserves the right to cancel tours due to inclement weather, foreseeable hazards, insufficient bookings, or events beyond our control. In these events, full refunds will be made or alternative dates offered.

Keep in mind it is Newfoundland and it does happen to rain every once in a while! Tours run in rain, snow, or sunshine!

This is a 365 day activity – and FYI zipping in winter snow is just as fun (and a different experience) as zipping on a fine sunshine-filled summer’s day.

Please check the weather and dress appropriately for your tour. Generally, the weather in the village reflects the weather on course; we can provide you with rain gear if necessary. Refunds will not be given in the event of rain.

Please consult our cancellation policy for more information.

Yes we do; we run all year round, in all weather conditions.

Check out the photos in the gallery … winter is just as fun as summer!
