Terms of use

By using Southern Hiker you accept these terms. They were last updated on 19 August 2026.

We work hard to be accurate and we date the things that go stale. Even so, entry rules, prices, timetables and opening hours change without notice, and the authoritative source is always the operator, the airline, or the government concerned. Check anything that a trip depends on - a visa requirement, a border rule, a last train - against its official source before you rely on it. We are not liable for a decision made solely on the basis of a page here.

Nothing on this site is legal, immigration, medical, insurance or financial advice. Visa eligibility in particular depends on your nationality, your history and the rules on the day you travel, none of which a web page can know.

Some links lead to third parties, and some of those earn us a commission. Any purchase is a contract between you and that seller under their terms. Refunds, delivery, service quality and disputes are theirs to resolve, and we have no ability to intervene in them.

The text on this site is ours. You are welcome to quote a short passage with a link; systematic copying, republication or use as training data for a commercial model is not permitted. Photographs are used under Creative Commons licences and credited individually: their terms are set by their authors, not by us.

Do not scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for other readers, attempt to access the admin area, or reproduce the site in a way that suggests we endorse another product.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Seychelles, and any dispute arising from them falls to the courts of Seychelles. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not remove any protection you have under the mandatory consumer law of your own country.
