Our Terms & Conditions:

Our Refund Policy

1st deposits are refundable for 30 days after their due date. To find the deposit due date, simply find your trip listed on the website "Trips by Date" schedule. Each trip has due dates listed for each group. Please remember that each request for a refund must be submitted in writing via email to spiritofadventuretravelco@yahoo.com IF SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE CANCELS A TRIP, WE WILL ISSUE A FULL REFUND (minus 10% handling fee) FOR DEPOSITS THAT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. Please note that flights are not refundable. Once we have purchased your ticket on the airline, there are no refunds from the airlines.

General Cancellation Policy

1st Deposits are refundable by Spirit of Adventure Travel Co. within 30 days of their initial due date for that specific tour. After the 30 days, the 1st Deposit is no longer refundable.

2nd Deposits are NOT Refundable unless tour is cancelled by SOA. If tour is cancelled by SOA, all deposits are refunded minus 10% handling fee.

We encourage our customers to purchase a trip insurance policy. Please make sure the policy covers trips cancelled "for any reason." Reach out to your insurance company for compensation for a cancelled trip.

Passport Policy

It is the responsibility of each traveller to insure the validity of their passports and travel documents. If your passport expires 6 months or less before the travel date, airlines will not allow you to travel. Please insure your travel documents are in order, before your travel dates. Renewal of a passport takes 4-6 weeks.

About Travel & Medical Insurance

Please note that we recommended you use a third party insurance policy to protect your trip from loss. Visit www.travelinsurance.com to shop a list of companies before you purchase. Our previous customers have worked with AIG Travel Guard & Travelers Insurance. Should the trip be cancelled or your luggage lost, insurance can be helpful to recover losses. It is important to note that most travel insurance is useless unless your policy states that they cover a cancelled trip "FOR ANY REASON." Additionally, the purchase of medical insurance for the duration of our trip is highly recommended and encouraged.
