Our Rationale

We work hard to create great trips, to be fair with our hotels and other suppliers, and to provide excellent service to our customers. Our deposit, cancellation, and supplement policies are designed to accommodate everyone's needs: our suppliers', our customers', and ours. Thanks for your understanding.

Deposits & Payments

Registering for this Adventure requires a $500 deposit payable by check or any major credit card. The remaining amount due must be paid by check or credit card 60 days prior to the trip departure. Please note that we reserve the right to treat your reservation as cancelled if your final payment is not made when due. If you sign up for a trip 60 days or less before the departure date, the entire trip price must be paid by credit card.

Cancellations

If you cancel your reservation with 46 days or more advance notice, you can apply all payments made to another Zephyr Adventure tour in the same calendar year or the year following. If you cancel with 45 or fewer days advance notice you forfeit all payments made. Please do not ask us to make exceptions; our tours are often full and a late cancellation usually means we have lost the opportunity to give your spot to someone else. We reserve the right to cancel an Adventure or to change an itinerary. If we cancel the trip, you will receive a full refund or have the option to move to a different tour.

Optional Single Room Supplement

If you are traveling solo, you are never required to pay a "single supplement". We will find you a roommate and will give you a free single room if we cannot find one for you. However, you may optionally reserve a single room for a per-night supplement of $150 ($600 total).

Meals and Drinks

We include excellent dinners and breakfasts on this tour. Wine is included at organized group tastings each day. We do not include desserts or drinks (either alcoholic or non-alcoholic) at dinner.

Insurance

We highly recommend trip cancellation insurance to protect yourself against unforseen circumstances. Every year there are unfortunate incidents with dozens of travelers that make it impossible for them to join our Adventures. Many of these people lose their trip and airline payments. Even if you do not think this will happen to you, it can! One company we recommend is TripInsurance.com.

Pre-Departure Information

After we receive your deposit we will send you an electronic packet with detailed arrival and departure information, suggestions for making travel arrangements, packing list, invoice, insurance information, information about the area we will be visiting and liability waiver.
