Insurance

Because of the strenuous nature of our trips and the remoteness of our destinations we strongly recommend that you take out Travel Insurance that will reimburse you for emergency medical evacuation by helicopter.  We also recommend Trip Cancellation and Baggage Loss insurance.  The cost of this insurance is minimal compared to possible loss.  The airline's Carrier Liability Insurance coverage is limited to the actual value of lost baggage, but not more than $750.  Peak Expeditions can not be held responsible for lost or damaged baggage out of its control.

Baggage Allowance

Air fares include a baggage allowance of up to two checked bags per person with a combined length, width and height of 106 inches, provided no dimension exceeds 62 inches, plus under-the-seat-baggage with total dimensions of 45 inches.  Each bag must be under 50 pounds.  Excess baggage will be charged at established rates.  Peak Expeditions assumes no responsibility for extra charges.

Expenses

Land fee includes:  all accommodations; meals in the mountains; services of guides, cooks, and porters; all transfers and ground transportation; permits and entrance fees; and communal camping equipment.  The Twin Otter ride from Iceland to Greenland is also included.

Not included:  airfare to location; passports and visas; insurance; excess baggage charges; restaurants and markets; medical expenses (including hospitalization and evacuation); and any additional expenses arising from the delay or extension of a trip due to weather, political disputes, illness, failure of transportation, or other causes beyond our reasonable control.

Accommodations:  Included accommodations are based on double occupancy for both hotels and tents.  Single rooms can be arranged for an additional cost.  We reserve the right to raise the land fee if there are exceptional cost increases beyond our control.

Terms

A 50% deposit reserves your expedition or course space and must be submitted at least four weeks before the departure date.  Our cancellation and refund policy is fair and simple.  If you cancel within four weeks of departure, no refund will be issued.  Your deposit can be credited toward a future expedition or course if you notify us at least two weeks before departure.  If you cancel before the four week period, all but $100 of the deposit will be refunded.

Peak Expeditions reserves the right to cancel any trip because of insufficient registration, natural disaster, or political unrest.  In this case, we will fully refund all land fees paid.
