Deposit and Payment Requirements
At the time of booking, we require a per person deposit of 25% of the tour cost to confirm your reservation. You will be notified of any special deposit, payment and cancellation terms applying to your trip at the time of booking. The balance of the trip cost is due 45 days prior to your trip departure.
For reservations made 45 days or less prior to departure, full payment will be required to confirm the booking. As well, reservations made within 25 days of departure may be subject to courier charges to ensure that you receive your documentation in a timely manner. Travel documentation is generally issued and sent out about 30 days prior to arrival.
Payment Methods
You may make your payment by check or bank draft in US or CAD funds, (depending on resident country). Your check should be made payable to Entrée Canada.
In addition, we accept payment by MasterCard, American Express, Diners/Club Enroute & Visa. Your credit card will also be debited for the balance of the trip cost per the final payment due date of your trip, unless otherwise notified. Entrée Canada must process the charges in the equivalent Canadian Funds amount. Your credit card company will exchange this Canadian amount back into US funds at the exchange rate they have set, which may result in a slight variance between the US price quoted and the US price processed by your credit card company.
Additional Services
Entrée Canada will gladly accommodate requests for additional services incurred during the trip. A credit card will be required to process payment for additional services unless prior arrangements have been made.
Special Services
Please note that any private/chartered transportation (suburban, limousine, floatplane, helicopter, etc) is quoted based on an estimated period of time with a set departure time. If the actual time used exceeds the time included in the cost, or if the departure time is changed, additional charges will be incurred and charged.
Baggage Limitation
Free checked baggage allowance is normally limited to two (2) suitcases per customer, excluding infants on international flights. However chartered aircrafts, floatplanes, helicopters and local air carriers typically have further restrictions. You will be advised of these restrictions at time of quoting and / or booking. Please be sure to advise us in advance of above normal luggage requirements.
Liability Waivers
Due to the unique nature of some of the programs, you may be required to sign liability waivers either at the time of booking or prior to your trip's departure and return them to individual service providers. You will be advised of these special conditions at time of quoting and / or booking.
In addition, please note that a number of adventure activities in Canada are not regulated by a governing body.
Cancellations and Refunds
All deposits paid are non-refundable and the total value of the trip is non-refundable once the final payment has been made. Any cancellation must be made in writing and you must receive a written confirmation of cancellation from Entrée Canada.
