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.

  • This isn’t just a kayaking trip—it’s an all-access pass to one of Canada’s most spectacular coastal wilderness areas. Over three days, we’ll paddle through the breathtaking Broken Group Islands, stopping at deserted beaches, exploring hidden coves, and soaking in the serenity of this untouched paradise. Wildlife encounters? Guaranteed. Campfire stories? Mandatory. Glamping comfort? Absolutely. At night, we’ll unwind at a secluded oceanfront campsite, where the tents are cozy, the meals are top-notch, and the waves provide the perfect soundtrack. Adventure, comfort, and nature at its finest—this is kayaking, upgraded.

    • 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. The water taxi will pick us up and bring us to our private and remote glamping site, where the guide will give us an orientation on the basecamp.

      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: Glamping

      Kayaking on a sunny day

    • We’ll start the day nice and early, maybe catching a sunrise along the way. Breakfast will be served at 7am. Each day, the water taxi will drop us off at a new and exciting location within the Broken Group Islands, allowing us to explore the majority of the Broken Group Islands. From intertidal life to wildlife viewing, there will be plenty of photo-ready memories to be made along the way.

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

      Kayaking in Canadian nature

    • On the final day, we’ll have another session of exploring the Broken Group Islands. After a day on the water, we’ll be picked up by the water taxi and whisked back to Ucluelet. We’ll say our goodbyes and go home, filled with memories we’ll cherish forever.
