WHAT IS THE TRIP CANCELLATION POLICY?

CANCELLATION BY US

In the unlikely event that WE have to cancel the trip for any reason then we will offer you the following options:

• A full refund of all monies paid, including your deposit
• Transfer of your booking, free of charge, to a future trip of the same value

 

In the unlikely event that we have to cancel the trip for any reason, any flight tickets purchased by you will not be able to be refunded. It is for this reason that travel insurance is a mandatory condition of your booking. 

We may need to cancel the Trip whether before or after departure, and such cancellation shall be subject to the General Terms & Conditions. Furthermore, it sometimes occurs that a Trip does not meet the minimum number of guests and must therefore be canceled.  In order for this Trip to go ahead, we need to hit  the minimum number of 16 guests.  

A final decision will be made on whether this Trip will go ahead no later than the Trip Confirmation Deadline of October 10, 2024. By that date, should the minimum number of guests not have been reached, you will receive a cancellation email. 

 

CANCELLATION BY YOU

If you are unable to attend the trip for any reason, you will need to make a claim with your travel insurance provider to claim any trip costs.

Please ensure your travel Insurance provider covers you for the following:

• Flight cancellation
• Trip payments
• Medical restriction preventing you from traveling
• Local and destination restrictions preventing you from traveling
  

 

If you wish to cancel your booking after we have issued a Confirmation Email to you, you must inform us in writing as soon as possible and the effective date of such cancellation shall be the date on which we receive written notification from you. All Payments that you would have previously made shall not be refundable.

IS TRAVEL INSURANCE INCLUDED?

We do not include travel insurance as everyone’s needs are different. However, having travel insurance in place for each person is a condition of your booking. If you haven’t purchased cover yet, you can do so here:
