Payment
Private events and tours are staffed by trained leaders, a deposit is required to cover expenses and may be non-refundable for cancellations. See Cancellations and Reschedule below.
PAYMENT: Once your event has been approved, an invoice will be sent electronically. Payment is due in full 30 days prior to your scheduled event or on receipt if less than 30 days. If you are unable to pay in advance, please request an alternate payment method. A deposit will still be required.
DEPOSIT: A $50 deposit is required in order to reserve your event date. You will receive an electronic invoice via email, payment may be made directly from the invoice. Full payment is due prior to the commencement of your event. If you cancel 30 days prior to the event, you will be refunded 100%. If you cancel less than 30 days prior, you will be refunded your payment less $50 deposit Events scheduled less than 30 days prior are subject to a non-refundable deposit of $50.
AMENDMENTS: If you need to REDUCE the number of participants for your event you may do so two week prior (14 days) to your scheduled field trip, we will adjust your invoice to reflect lower charges. If you need to INCREASE your number of participants we can generally do so the day of your visit if the increased number is small and will not require additional staffing. If the number of participants increases significantly, please notify us as soon as possible so we may staff additional tour guides. We will do our best to accommodate the change request but it is not guaranteed.
