Policies

All Wandering Weights trip payments are non-refundable for traveler-initiated cancellations. This includes deposits, partial payments, and payments made toward the remaining trip balance.

If a traveler cancels their reservation, is unable to attend, arrives late, departs early, misses scheduled transportation, or chooses not to participate in any portion of the trip, no refund will be provided for the unused services or trip payments, except where required by applicable law.

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that includes trip cancellation, trip interruption, emergency medical coverage, and emergency evacuation coverage, subject to the insurer's policy terms.

If Wandering Weights cancels an entire trip before departure, travelers will receive a refund of payments made directly to Wandering Weights for that trip, unless a different lawful arrangement is expressly agreed upon.

Wandering Weights is not responsible for independently purchased expenses such as flights, additional accommodations, or other personal travel arrangements, except where required by applicable law.

A cancellation of an entire trip is distinct from reasonable itinerary adjustments or substitutions. Adjustments made for safety, weather, or operational reasons are not a cancellation of the trip and do not entitle travelers to a refund.

Reservations are personal to the traveler who booked them. Any proposed change of traveler requires prior written approval from Wandering Weights.

Finding a replacement traveler does not entitle you to a refund of any payments made.

Wandering Weights may occasionally offer a future travel credit as a one-time goodwill gesture. Any credit is entirely discretionary and does not establish an entitlement to future credits or modify the standard cancellation policy.

When a credit is offered, its value, expiration date (if applicable), eligible trips, transferability, and other conditions will be communicated directly to the traveler.
