e some tour operators are temporarily adding a fuel surcharge to new bookings as rising fuel prices continue to impact operating costs for customers this means some tours may now have a small extra fee added on top of the usual ticket price in most cases the surcharge only applies to new bookings while existing bookings may either stay unchanged or be contacted directly if an extra payment is needed before travel the amount can vary depending on the tour and operator and it may be collected at the time of booking before departure or on the day of travel customers can usually expect these charges to be clearly outlined during the booking process or in confirmation details these surcharges are being reviewed regularly and may change or be removed once fuel prices settle the best advice for travellers is to check the latest pricing before booking and keep an eye out for any pre travel updates from their tour operator fuel surcharge introduced for quicksilver group cairns reef
