POLICIES & INFORMATION Refunds/Cancellations:

ONE DAY TOURS will receive a 100% refund if the cancellation is received 10 or more days prior to the trip, unless tickets for an event are non-refundable to Able Trek Tours.

Cancellations 9 days or less, prior to a trip, will not receive a refund.

OVERNIGHT TRIPS typically require a 30-day notice to avoid cancellation penalties – some trips are more restrictive. Prepaid non-refundable expenses such as meals, tickets, hotels, attractions and motor coach fees, will determine this cancellation penalty.

Travelers who are “no shows” on the day of departure receive no refund whatsoever. Travelers who are “late” on the day of departure are considered no shows.

We reserve the right to cancel any trip due to lack of interest (normally 20 passengers minimum), weather, or whatever reason beyond our control.

Miscellaneous Policies:

TRAVEL INSURANCE is available for each trip. Coverage for medical expenses, trip cancellation/interruption, baggage damage and much more is available for as low as $12.60 per person per trip. Contact Able Trek Tours for more information.
