Summer Booking & Cancellation Policies

Booking

To book a tour/activity, book online or via email (fun@tyaxadventures.com). It is recommended that all guests have a good knowledge of backcountry procedures – including but not limited to: Safety in the backcountry, Wilderness First Aid, Avalanche Safety Knowledge, etc. Prices on the website do not include GST.  

Payments

A 25% deposit is required to secure a reservation, with the balance due 30 days before the activity/tour date. Payments can be made online, or by credit card over the phone. 30 days pre-trip, your full balance will be processed from the card saved on your file. If payment is not processed 30 days before the activity, your trip may be released. 

Please note that when booking online via our booking system, there is a one-time booking fee to cover administrative fees. 

Itinerary/Flight Changes

Every attempt will be made to adhere to our scheduled itinerary, we do not plan to make changes ahead of time. However, participants acknowledge and willingly accept the possibility of unexpected changes to our route, timings and itinerary. Safety issues, weather and/or any extenuating circumstances beyond our control may contribute to this possibility.  

Should these changes affect your pre and/or post-tour travel plans, Tyax Adventures will not be responsible for additional expenses incurred by guests (non-refundable airline tickets, rental cars, hotel reservations, etc.). Again, we recommend you purchase your own trip insurance policy. 

Dovetail

Dovetail flights occur when 1 group flies into a location, and another group flies out from that location - effectively ‘splitting the flight’. Should a dovetail flight be completed in full, where a group flies into a location and a group flies out, both groups will be reimbursed for half of the full price of the flight AFTER the completed dovetail flight. Please note that we always take full payment up front for all bookings, and in the event that the planned dovetail flight does not happen, the group would still be responsible for paying for the cost of the whole flight.

Single Supplement/Mixed Groups

For tours including accommodation, prices are based on double occupancy. Single rooms are available for an additional charge. A single supplement price will be provided on request. Guests travelling alone may request to be paired with another single traveller, if possible. 

Many of our tours require a minimum of 4 guests to confirm the tour. A Mixed Group tour is where we match up guests of similar skill/ability levels to reach the minimum guest requirement. Should your tour not fill up with the minimum number of guests, you will be offered to rebook to another date, a full credit or a refund -3% for admin fees.

Cancellations

Guest Cancellation

All tours/flights/reservations cancelled outside of 60 days from the first date of your trip will be refunded, less 3% of the total booking price to cover credit card & administrative fees.  

All tours/flights/reservations cancelled 60-30 days from the first date of your trip will be refunded, less the 25% deposit. 

Payments made for any activity cancelled within 30 days of the activity date are non-refundable.  

Our guest cancellation policy is firm, and we recommend you purchase a trip interruption/cancellation insurance policy to avoid disappointment should you need to cancel your trip at the last minute, as you will not be reimbursed by Tyax Adventures.

Cancellations due to a 3rd Party/Unforeseen Circumstances  

Should your booking need to be cancelled due to extenuating circumstances beyond our control, including (but not limited to): border closures, government-initiated shutdowns due to a pandemic or wildfire, weather or smoke which is deemed by Tyax Adventures to be a safety issue. Tyax Adventures may offer you a 100% credit to reschedule for another date or give you the option of a full refund minus 3% to cover the cost of credit card and administration fees.  

Tyax Adventures Cancellation  

Tyax Adventures reserves the right to cancel or adjust a reservation at any time due to minimum participation requirements not being met (typically 4 guests), or any other circumstance that arises. Should Tyax Adventures need to cancel or reschedule your reservation we may offer you a 100% credit to reschedule for another date or give the option of a full refund.    

Should any necessary changes affect your pre and/or post-activity travel plans, Tyax Adventures will not be responsible for additional expenses incurred by guests (non-refundable airline tickets, rental cars, hotel reservations, etc.) Again, we recommend you purchase a trip insurance policy.
