Travel is a big commitment — and so is planning, designing, and hosting a trip. So we’ve built a policy that can be flexible for our Travelers, while still protecting the work that our Hosts and Trip Operators do at each stage of the process.

Our standard cancellation & refund policy is  set out below:

• 61 days or more before travel: Full refund minus a 25% cancellation fee based on the full trip amount;
• 31-60 days before travel: 50% of total booking price will be refunded;
• 30 - 0 days before travel: No refunds, no exceptions.

If the trip / retreat does not meet the minimum # of participants 90 days before the trip start date  the trip will be cancelled and full refunds will be issued. Any refund shall be made less any platform, transaction and processing fees that have been incurred. 

To ensure your experience is unforgettable much of our planning is finalized in the months leading up to your trip. Scheduling of guides, permits, class locations, food planning, goodie bags, and all the little things that make our events great get finalized manually. Cancellations within the 60-day window incur costs that we cannot recoup. Last minute cancellations within 30 days are even harder as we often cannot fill the vacated spot on short notice. Our cancellation policy ensures the best possible experience for everyone.

"Travel is a big commitment — and so is planning, designing, and hosting a trip. So we’ve built a policy that can be flexible for our Travelers, while still protecting the work that our Hosts and Trip Operators do at each stage of the process. Here’s how cancellations and refunds work:

You book your spot on a trip and pay a 25% down payment: while your spot is pending, that 25% down payment is fully refundable.

Once your spot is confirmed: that 25% down payment is non-refundable.

If cancelling more than 90-days before your trip, your 25% down payment (minus a $100 cancellation fee) can be returned in the form of a trip credit towards any future travel booked in the next year.

If confirmed more than 90 days prior to departure (and outside of the 72 hour cancellation window), you will receive a trip credit in the amount of the down payment, minus a $100 cancellation fee for each spot canceled.

Your balance payment is due 90 days before the trip. 90 days before the trip, we cannot issue any refunds. At this point, funds have been applied towards the trip such as booking accommodations and local activities."
