1A. HELP! I never got my email confirmation ticket!

Our emails are sent automatically once payment has been received (it takes about 15 minutes). Some email providers will incorrectly classify a GoDo confirmation email as junk mail. If you use a spam filter, please be sure to include info@godo.com.au as a legitimate sender of email communication. Also check your junk or bulk mail folders -- our email might have ended up in there.

You can also view and print your confirmation by logging into your GoDo account.

Here’s how:

1. Sign In and login using your email address and password.

2. Click on Your Account – on the top right hand side of the page.

3. Click on Order History and choose the invoice link that contains the voucher you wish to view

4. Click on View Voucher Online to display the actual voucher.

GoDo (our activity partner) offer the opportunity to purchase GoDo Cancellation Cover provided by Mondial Insurance.

Should this occur, customers who have purchased Cancellation Cover may make a claim to Mondial directly.

Cancellation Cover is calculated at 7% of the activity cost with a minimum cost of $6. Please note that Cancellation Cover is not automatically included in your booking. You will be asked if you wish to purchase this optional extra at the check out - select yes or no as required.

GoDo (our activity partner) does its best to include any limitations or requirements relating to the service in the activities description (see Participant Guidelines and Booking Notes). It is the responsibility of the recipient to comply with all necessary requirements stipulated by the supplier.

Please note: That after you’ve received your booking confirmation, GoDo cannot issue a refund in cases where your participation in an activity is cancelled due to you being unable to meet supplier requirements.
