Cancellations & Refunds:
Due to the nature of operating
in ocean wilderness areas, tours may be modified or cancelled. Tide
Rip Tours reserves the right to cancel any expedition for adverse weather,
mechanical or logistical problems, or unforeseen circumstances which may impede
trip operations or safety. Should this occur, a full refund will apply if you
cannot reschedule. In the event that you should cancel with more than 30 days
notice to us, a full refund of your deposit will be given. If you cancel within 30 days of the trip departure date, we will retain the deposit unless you can find a replacement person. We recommend the purchase of trip
cancellation insurance for your protection in the event of illness. If you
cancel within 24 hours of the trip, or if you do not show up, we will take full payment.
NOTE: For all tours, each client
will be required to sign an Assumption of Risk Agreement before embarking on the
tour. Packages: We are not a
registered BC travel agent. Lodging must be booked with the individual companies
concerned. This ensures availability for you. We simply point you in the
direction of the best accommodation in the area. We do not pay commissions so as
to help keep the price down to individuals willing to make a few phone calls and
arrange services themselves.
