TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Itinerary Changes, Delays, Cancellations

All expedition arrangements are subject to change and we reserve the right to change an expedition itinerary, dates, expedition leaders, or accommodations as the situation warrants. If a trip must be delayed or the itinerary changed due to political unrest, strikes, logistical problems that may impede trip operations, severe weather, road conditions, transportation delays, government intervention, airline schedules, illness, or other contingencies for which we or associates cannot make provision, the cost of delays or changes is not included.

We reserve the right to cancel any trip prior to departure for any reason whatsoever, including force majeure (acts of God, war, labor strikes, natural disaster, earthquake,flooding, etc.), logistical problems that may impede trip operations, or insufficient sign-ups. If a trip is cancelled due to force majeure (acts of God, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, etc.), We will promptly refund the portion of the trip cost not including partial deposit already advanced to suppliers and use its best efforts to recover and refund the balance as promptly as possible; this cannot be guaranteed.

The refund of payments received shall release any further liability. A trip with insufficient sign-ups would normally be cancelled a minimum of two months prior to departure. We are not responsible for expenses incurred by trip members in preparing for a cancelled trip (e.g., non refundable advance purchase air tickets, visa fees, inoculations, equipment, etc.) or for any additional arrangements should the trip member have embarked prior to the scheduled group departure date.
PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR LOST DAYS DUE TO WEATHER
CANCELLATIONS, CAPTAINS CANCELLATIONS, TRIP DELAYS, INJURY OR EQUIPMENT ISSUES.

We are glad to provide information on trip requirements and if it is appropriate for you. It is the participant’s responsibility to understand requirements. It is crucial that any medical problems and related dietary restrictions are made known at time of reservation and/or well in advance of the trip’s departure. The expedition leader has the right to deny participation to anyone deemed unsuitable for the trip and/or if continued participation will jeopardize either the individual involved or the group. There will be no refund given under these circumstances.
