Sell December. Run it in June.
Switch gift card sales on and your site has a page where anyone can buy a card for a future trip. The code is redeemed at checkout on your booking pages, balances are tracked to the cent, and the money is yours the day the card is bought.

How it works
In the portal, turn gift card sales on, set the smallest and largest amount a buyer can choose, an optional expiry in months, and the terms you want shown, such as redeemable on any trip or non-transferable.
Your site gets a gift card page, linked from your navigation and your booking pages. The buyer picks an amount, adds the recipient's name and email and a message, and pays by card. The recipient receives the card by email with its code.
When the recipient books, they enter the code on your booking page or widget. Treka checks it against your company, applies the balance, and charges the card only for whatever is left.
The portal lists the cards you have sold and issued, with the remaining balance, the recipient and the orders they were spent on. Partial redemptions leave the rest on the card for next time.
What you get
Hosted with the rest of your booking site, in your branding, at your own domain if you use one. Nothing to build.
Buyers choose a value between the minimum and maximum you set, so a half-day trip and a week-long expedition can both be gifted.
Hand out a card from the portal for a raffle, a referral or a make-good, with a note on why. It redeems the same way as a bought one.
Choose to refund cancellations as credit instead of cash. The refund becomes a gift card the guest can spend on a later trip, and the money stays in your season.
A card is tied to the company that issued it and can only be redeemed on that company's trips. Code checks at checkout are rate-limited, so codes cannot be guessed.
Every gift card order appears with the buyer, the recipient and the amount, and every redemption appears on the booking it paid for, so your bookkeeping has the whole story.
A guided trip is a gift people want to give and rarely know how to. A gift card turns December, when nobody is on the water, into revenue for a season that has not started yet, and the recipient becomes a guest who books a date rather than a lead you have to chase. Operators who have never sold cards are often surprised by how much of it happens in the two weeks before the holidays.
The reason it does not happen more is that selling cards used to mean a separate product, a separate page and a spreadsheet of codes. In Treka it is a switch.
Weather cancels trips. When it does, a refund as credit keeps the guest and keeps the revenue; the guest rebooks for a later date with the balance already paid. Treka can issue that credit automatically as a gift card when you refund, so the guest has a code in their inbox the same day.
