* The final installment must be paid 6 weeks prior to departure

Cancellation Policy

 

In light of the current C0VID-19 outbreak, we are constantly monitoring the situation world wide and following any updates regarding travel. Since the situation changes very rapidly and it is getting impossible to predict what can happen, we made some amendments to our cancellation policy to be more flexible for our travelers and to take into consideration any bans or restrictions made from host countries because of that. Please see the amendments below in red:


Cancellation of a booking or failure to join a trip will result in retention of funds by Wild Guanabana as follows:

 

* A non refundable admin fee of $100 is automatically deducted upon booking any trip and regardless of any cancellations

* Upon receipt of written cancellation by any member of the trip 45 days (now 30 days) or longer prior to departure, 25% of the total trip price of the cancelling party will be retained by Wild Guanabana (this includes the $100 admin fees) and the balance of the package price refunded.

* If a cancellation is received at least 21 days (now 14 days) and up to 45 days (now 29 days) prior to departure, 50% of the package price will be retained by Wild Guanabana (this includes the $100 admin fees)

* If a cancellation is received less than 21 days (now 14 days) prior to departure, 100% of the total package price will be retained by Wild Guanabana and all outstanding payments will become payable immediately.

* Wild Guanabana reserves the right to terminate, at their discretion and with immediate effect, the participation of any person on the trip with the aforementioned policy applicable.

* In the case of Force Majeure such as the destination country closing off its borders or banning certain people from entering (because of a crisis and nothing visa related), the client is entitled to a full refund minus the $100 non refundable admin fees that is automatically deducted once a booking has been made. 

* In the case of testing positive for Covid before flying, the client would have to provide medical proof before getting a full refund minus a $100 admin fee plus government taxes and bank charges. Please note, while we do our best, it may not be possible to get a full refund for the hotel bookings, as this depends entirely on the policy of every individual hotel.


Please note that all refunds take up to 14 business days to reflect in your account.

Knowing the risks, dangers, and hazards described above, I agree – individually - to assume all the risks, dangers, hazards, and responsibilities surrounding my participation in this trip. To the maximum extent permitted by law, I individually, hereby release and forever discharge Wild Guanabana and its employees and representatives (in their official and individual capacities) from any and all liability whatsoever, which arise as a result of negligence on the part of Wild Guanabana, for any and all damages, losses or injuries (including death) I sustain to my person or property or both, including but not limited to any claims, demands, actions, causes of action, judgments, damages, expenses and costs, including attorney’s fees which arise out of, result from, occur during or are connected in any manner with my trip.

Miscillanious:

I understand that Wild Guanabana will provide me with a detailed list of appropriate gear and equipment that will need to be secured before departure on each trip. I also understand that Wild Guanabana will also assist me in purchasing or renting the appropriate gear and equipment and provide advice if necessary. Should I, however, decide to not acquire the appropriate gear prior to departure, Wild Guanabana will bear no responsibility for any harm that may be caused on account of me making such decision. Wild Guanabana will, also, not be held accountable for the quality and enjoyability (or lack thereof) of my experience as result of not obtaining the right gear and equipment as advised.

 

On trips that involve any form of adventurous activity such as rafting, trekking, climbing or mountaineering, safety is considered paramount. Wild Guanabana will do everything that is logistically possible to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. However, I understand that Wild Guanabana does not make any promises with regards to a client’s summiting of any mountain peaks at any given destination and neither can it guarantee arriving to the summit with another client.

 

It is further understood that remoteness of the area, local customs and prevailing weather conditions may cause modification to the program itinerary and Wild Guanabana reserves the right to modify and/or cancel specific travel arrangements due to unfavorable conditions.
