The lodges and other providers we work with have strict cancellation policies and advanced reservations are a must, therefore after a certain period of time we are unable to refund deposits and payments in full.

Notes

• Travelers are advised to look into travel insurance policies that will refund trip costs should you need to cancel. The best policies are those with "cancel for any reason" coverage.
• Special medical dietary requirements can be accommodated if we are informed before travel. A surcharge may be necessary in order to meet these needs in extreme cases. For example strick vegan and/or guten free as these require a second chef.
• By paying your deposit you are indicating that you are willing to sign the release and assumption of risk document, and you confirm that you are of reasonable fitness and good health and will not in any way knowingly create a risk for yourself or other tour members and will behave with respect and politeness to the other guests and staff .
