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 four-day guided sea kayaking expedition explores the Broken Group Islands within Pacific Rim National Park, paddling between sheltered beaches, intertidal pools, and old-growth shoreline. After a water taxi transfer from Ucluelet, we set up camp at one of the park's designated sites and spend three full days on the water, covering four to six hours of paddling daily depending on group ability and conditions. Evenings are spent around the campfire, sharing stories as the sun sets over the islands. Meals, camping gear, and a knowledgeable local guide are included throughout, making this a comfortable introduction to one of Vancouver Island's most remarkable paddling destinations.

    • We meet at the Small Craft Harbour, where your guide briefs the group before boarding a water taxi bound for the Broken Group Islands, taking in the coastline along the way. Once dropped at one of the park’s sandy beaches, we unload and repack our gear into the kayaks, followed by a kayak orientation to get everyone comfortable before the first paddle. Around noon, we stop for a freshly prepared lunch, then continue paddling for the afternoon. Your guide selects one of the park’s seven designated campsites for the night, where we set up camp and settle in. Dinner is served once everyone has had a chance to rest, followed by a campfire to close out the first day.

      Meals: Lunch, dinner
      Kayaking: 4-6 hours
      Accommodation: Tent camping at a designated Broken Group Islands campsite

      Introduction to kayaking

    • Mornings start early, with breakfast ready by 7 am and plenty of time afterward to relax before setting out. Depending on weather and group preference, we may move to a new camp or stay put for the day, paddling out to explore the surrounding islands. Lunch is enjoyed on a different beach each day, with time built in to explore the area’s intertidal life and old-growth forest. We also visit sites once home to First Nations villages within the Broken Group, learning about the region’s history along the way. The day winds down back at camp with dinner and another evening by the fire.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
      Kayaking: 4-6 hours
      Accommodation: Tent camping at a designated Broken Group Islands campsite

      Kayaking on blue water

    • Another early start with breakfast around 7 am sets the tone for a full day of paddling. Your guide continues to shape the route around the group’s pace and the day’s conditions, whether that means relocating camp or staying another night at the same site. We paddle to new stretches of the Broken Group, stopping for lunch on a fresh beach and continuing to explore the intertidal pools, forested shoreline, and historic First Nations village sites scattered throughout the park. The evening follows the same rhythm as the days before, with dinner and a campfire under the stars.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
      Kayaking: 4-6 hours
      Accommodation: Tent camping at a designated Broken Group Islands campsite

      Returning from kayaking

    • On our final day, we spend the morning exploring more of the Broken Group Islands before breaking camp. Once the day’s paddling is done, a water taxi picks us up and brings the group back to Ucluelet, wrapping up four days spent among the islands.
