Registration, Payment & Cancellation Policy

Please note:  Full payment of trip fees is due 60 days prior to the departure date. If booking your trip within 60 days of the trip date, you may request to review the Release of Liability & Waiver of Claims Form prior to providing full payment to confirm your seat.

You will receive a complete West Coast Expeditions Pre-trip Information Package after we receive your registration form and deposit.  This pre-trip package includes a more detailed trip description, equipment list, questionnaire, medical form, and Release of Liability & Waiver of Claims form.  Please complete and return these with your final payment which will be invoiced by email and is due 60 days before your trip start. 

We require that all international guests carry medical travel insurance while on tour with West Coast Expeditions. Similarly, we recommend that Canadian guests also consider carrying medical travel insurance and notify their provincial health care plan provider if travelling out-of-province to be with us.

For cancellations we are always as reasonable, understanding, and flexible as possible in applying the following policies so that the scenario is fair for all involved: 

• For guest cancellations earlier than 60 days before trip departure, the deposit is retained if we've had to turn other customers away for that trip and are unable to fill that seat(s).  Otherwise, the deposit is refunded less a $100 administration fee per person.   If WCE cancels the trip, a full refund is provided.
• Full payment of trip package fees are due 60 days prior to the departure date -- without this, your seat reservation...and deposit...are at risk. Please advise us and make arrangements if circumstances require a delay in final payment.
• Guest cancellations between 59-30 days before the trip are eligible for a 50% refund of the base package price and full refund of any associated upgrades if West Coast Expeditions incurs no penalties associated with cancelling upgrades (e.g., float plane flights as part of the package). If we can fill the vacated seat, only the deposit is retained and the balance refunded.
• Guest cancellations within 29 days of scheduled departure are not eligible for a refund unless we can fill the vacated seat (in which case the deposit is retained and the balance refunded).
