TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Book with Confidence! 

Updated 2022 policy

Your deposit is fully refundable for 48 hours after your initial booking (provided you book at least 30 days in advance of your desired tour). After 48 hours from booking, your deposit is non-refundable. A 25% deposit is due upon booking. The remainder of the balance is due 30 days prior to the start of your tour. Prior to this time we will connect with guests to confirm the status of the tour. Please note that if you book less than 30 days before your desired tour, the full amount is due at the time of booking. 

To provide guests with more flexibility in light of covid-19, guests may cancel their booking up to 14 days prior to a scheduled tour and receive a refund of 75%, and apply their 25% deposit to a future tour. Kootenay Cycling Adventures reserves the right to cancel or modify tours to ensure the safety of guests. Less than 14 days prior to a scheduled tour, the entire amount is non-refundable. 

Your booking is fully transferrable to another person at no additional cost. We ask for a minimum of 14 days notice to allow us to make the necessary adjustments. Transfer requests made less than 14 days in advance of a tour may not be able to be accommodated. Please contact Kootenay Cycling Adventures directly to arrange details.

We are pleased to guarantee trips for bookings of 2 people or more.

Please note that mountain weather can be diverse, and that all tours run rain or shine. We ask our participants to prepare and pack accordingly to rain, wind, heat and any type of weather in between. Please note that we are not able to offer refunds or discounts due to inclement weather. We work diligently to provide the best experience possible to our participants with the weather conditions, and may adjust tours as necessary.

The exception to this is if factors beyond our control prohibit the tour from running (such as road closures). In this case KCA will issue a partial refund or credit for a future date depending on the nature of the situation and if an alternative option is not possible. 

We accept payment by Visa or Mastercard through our secure online booking platfrom.
