Cancellation policy

The percentages in the table above are of the full trip price, not of what you’ve paid at the time of booking.

Cancellations made within 48 hours of booking receive a full refund on all plans, including booking fees and insurance. After the 48-hour window, your refund depends on your selected protection plan and when you cancel. Core and Premium plans extend your cancellation rights beyond the Standard policy:

  • With Core, a covered reason gets you 75% of your trip cost back — even the day before you go.
  • With Premium, a covered reason gets you 100% of your trip cost back — and any other reason gets you 75%, right up to the day you leave.
What counts as a covered reason
  • Sudden illness or injury — yours, a travel companion’s, or an immediate family member’s, confirmed by a doctor
  • Death of a traveler or an immediate family member
  • A natural disaster affecting your destination or your departure point
  • A government travel advisory against travel to your destination

Changing your mind isn’t a covered reason. Premium is the only plan that covers that. Documentation is required for all insurance claims.

Everything the travel insurance covers

Both plans include travel insurance through Redpoint Travel Protection. Core insures 75% of your trip cost; Premium insures 100%.

Maximum per person:

  • Trip cancellation — up to 100% of your trip cost
  • Cancel for any reason — up to 75% of your trip cost (Premium only)
  • Trip interruption — 150% of the trip cost limit
  • Trip delay — $200 a day, $1,000 max
  • Itinerary change — $250
  • Single occupancy supplement — up to 100% of trip cost
  • Missed connection — $1,000
  • Travel inconvenience — $250 each, $750 max
  • Pet return — $1,000 per pet
  • Baggage and personal effects — $2,500, max $300 an item
  • Baggage delay — $600, after 12 hours
  • Baggage delivery — $100 per trip
  • Emergency medical expenses — $100,000
  • Medical evacuation and repatriation — up to $1,000,000

These are maximums. What a claim actually pays depends on what you can document and on the policy’s exclusions — pre-existing conditions and undeclared activities among them. We’ll send the full policy wording with your confirmation.

  • Some adventures change you—this is one of them. Five days of sea kayaking through the legendary Broken Group Islands, camping on remote beaches, and paddling through a landscape so wild it barely feels real. Each morning, we’ll wake to the sound of lapping waves, then spend our days weaving through hidden coves, old-growth forests, and shorelines teeming with marine life. No Wi-Fi, no stress—just epic paddling, unreal scenery, and stories we’ll be telling for years.

    • We’ll meet at 200 Hemlock Street at the Small Craft Harbour. The guide will brief us on a water taxi to the Broken Group Islands while we take in the breathtaking beauty of the coastline along the way. We will be dropped at one of the many sandy beaches within the Broken Group, where we’ll unload and re-pack our gear into kayaks. From here, we’ll have a kayak orientation to prepare us for our first paddle. We’ll aim to paddle for 4-6 hours a day.

      At noon, we’ll stop for our first lunch break where the guide will prepare a delicious meal. Following this, we’ll continue to paddle the park. In the afternoon, the guide will decide where to make camp for the night, selecting one of the 7 designated campsites within the Broken Group. We’ll have a camp orientation and set-up our tents for the evening. Later on, dinner will be served, and each evening we’ll have a campfire where we’ll share our favorite moments from the day.

      Meals: Lunch, dinner
      Accommodation: Camping

      Walking through the forest

    • We’ll start the day nice and early, maybe catching a sunrise along the way. We’ll aim to have breakfast ready between 7-9am. We may move camp, or stay at one campsite for the entire trip. Our guide will advise based on weather and conditions.

      Each day, we’ll paddle and enjoy lunches on different beaches within the islands, with plenty of opportunity to discover the vast intertidal life, old-growth forests, and learn from the ancient First Nation Village sites located within the Broken Group.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
      Kayaking: 4-6 hours
      Accommodation: Camping

      Kayaker on the water

    • On the final kayaking day, we’ll spend yet another day exploring the Broken Group Islands. After a day on the water, we’ll be picked up by the water taxi and whisked back home to Ucluelet.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch
      Kayaking: 4-6 hours
