FAQs
Here are frequently asked questions.
How do I book/pay?
Please use the Book Now button on trip pages or contact us to confirm your booking and make any payments. Payment of the deposit by VISA, MasterCard, or cheque means you’re booked.
How long can you hold a space for me?
We can hold your spot for seven days. Because most of our tours are limited to 18 participants, we’re not able to hold a spot any longer.
Where can I find the booking form?
To help us be a little more environmentally friendly, we use an online registration form. On a trip page, click Book Now to access the booking form. You’re also welcome to call us to secure your booking.
When is my tour confirmed?
The Detailed Itinerary sets out the minimum and maximum number of participants for each tour. As soon as we reach our minimum numbers, we’ll let you know that your tour is confirmed. Some tours are confirmed a year or more in advance; most tour are confirmed at least six months prior to departure. In rare instances, we offer participants the opportunity to pay a small group supplement to confirm a tour that is below its minimum numbers.
Why are payments non-refundable?
All trip payments are non-refundable because there are set costs we incur on each of our tours. If you change your mind up to six months prior to the start of a land tour, we can transfer your initial deposit to another tour to be booked within one year. Payments for expedition cruises are non-refundable. We always recommend you purchase insurance coverage in case you need to cancel or if the tour becomes inoperable.
