Cancellation policies vary from one tour to another, as they are determined by the individual guides.

If you are eligible for a refund based on the cancellation policy of your booked tour, the following refund process will be followed:

Refunds will be made to the original payment method used for the booking.

Depending on your payment provider, it may take up to 10 business days for the refunded amount to appear in your account or card balance.
