Cancellation Policy

"There is a 20% non refundable deposit due by August 4th. The remaining balance is due by November 15th. 

Sometimes life happens that is out of your control so if you need to cancel and have made additional payments, we cannot refund this balance unless we are able to fill your spot with a friend or someone on the waiting list. 

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect against any unforeseen events disrupting or preventing your trip from happening. We also recommend adding the optional “Cancel for Any Reason” (CFAR) benefit, which offers the most flexibility and protects your payment in the event of any unforeseen circumstance not usually covered in a traditional policy.  Definitely read the fine print on what it covers to be sure that you are sufficiently protected.

A few travel insurance companies we know of are World Nomads, Alianze and Soventure Travel. (We are not ambassadors nor have any affiliation with these companies.)
