BOOKING & CANCELLATION

Any non-refundable money from third-party deposits (i.e. air charter costs, etc.) will be deducted from any refund, but we will endeavour to get any deposits from third-party deposits on your behalf, with no guarantee of success on our part..

Cancellation notice must be received in writing via email or post.

No one may depart on a trip unless all payments and required documents are received by Sea to Sky Wilderness Adventures.

Our prices are quoted in Canadian dollars. We process all payments and refunds in Canadian funds. If you choose to pay by credit card, we process payment in Canadian funds. Your credit card company will assign an amount based on their current exchange rate.
