NOTE: Tours that are cancelled or rescheduled by us due to weather do not incur any cancellation charges.

If you would like to change your flight to a longer tour, we ask that you give us as much notice as possible. Our tours are often booked back-to-back and it may be difficult for us to accommodate last-minute changes. We will do our best to accommodate you if at all possible.
