Deposits and Registration

A completed registration form must be submitted for each passenger, along with the appropriate payment, a minimum of 15 days prior to departure. Registration forms are processed on a first come first served basis. Due to the limited number of passengers for each journey, you will be notified upon our receipt of your deposit and registration if space is available. Should the trip be sold out, you will be given the opportunity to remain on a waiting list, transfer to another trip or cancel your registration. In any of these cases, upon your request, you will be given a full refund.

Should there be fewer than 10 participants (not counting your tour guides) the expedition cost shall increase by 15%.

 

Deposit forfeiture

Should you cancel for any reason after your deposit has been accepted, all but 10% of the trip costs will be refunded. Cancellations within 45 days of departure are subject to a 50% cancellation fee. Cancellations within 30 days of departure are nonrefundable.
