We recommend all of our customers purchase CANCELLATION INSURANCE from their preferred suppliers. Please read the payment and cancellation policies below based on the adventure or product you are booking.

Additional Charges. Depending on the trip type, various services or items may be added to an invoice, i.e., special dietary requirements ($15/day), additional nights, additional guests, bunkies, firewood, etc.
