Cancellation/reservation changes must be made 48 hours* in advance of tour time for a full refund. You must contact us by phone during standard business hours. Cancellations and changes made within 48 hours of tour time will not be refunded or rebooked for another day/time. Due to our short season and limited amount of kayak tours, participants who wish to change or cancel with less than 48 hours notice will be financially responsible for their trip if we are unable to re-book it.
Our Guides monitor the WEATHER very closely using radar, satellites, and weather buoys, which are more accurate than forecasts. If you have questions about the weather, please call our shop at 877-481-9500. In the event that inclement conditions (heavy wind/significant rain) cause us to cancel your trip, you can either choose to cancel out or reschedule for a different day/time…
**Tour groups**: Cancellation policy is 48 hours in advance. Please refer to the beginning of this email for information specific to groups. We have a few additional policies to ensure your group is ready to participate in the tour when you arrive. Please read thoroughly.
