Cancellation and Refunds

 

Once we receive your deposit, you are deemed to have firmly stated your intention to travel and to have agreed to the Terms and Conditions.

 

In the case of cancellation of a booking by a client after having paid the deposit and/or other amounts, cancellation penalties will apply as shown on the booking form and in our Terms and Conditions. TrailFinders' staff will recommend appropriate travel insurance to cover tour payments in case an unforeseen event causes you to cancel.

 

Tour deposits are non-refundable unless TrailFinders cancels the trip prior to the departure date. TrailFinders reserves the right to cancel any planned departure at any time for any reason including but not limited to insufficient participation or developing situations which may endanger our clients or staff or which may make it impossible to conduct the trip as planned. In this case we will offer an alternate date. If this alternate date is not acceptable to those who have already booked, TrailFinders will refund all tour payments received but cannot be responsible for additional losses incurred for other related or unrelated travel arrangements or for air tickets. Travel insurance is highly recommended to cover these amounts. No other compensation will be paid in the event of a cancelled departure or change of departure date.
