1. Bookings Policy

All confirmations of bookings shall be made by email—info@naturehorizonstours.com—upon filing of the Nature Horizons Booking Form on our website.

All bookings will be considered and recognized as confirmed only after the booking is accompanied by a deposit of 30 to 50 percent of the total cost of the tour, depending on length of tour and length of booking notice. The deposit shall be considered valid after acknowledgement and confirmation of receipt by Stripe as well as our bank in the USA.

A balance of 50 to 70 percent of the total invoice must be paid at least 60 days before the arrival of tour participants. Cash payment of a balance can be arranged with a Nature Horizons Salesperson. In this case, full payment shall be made in the US dollar only.

2. Cancellation and Refunds

All tours and/or service cancellations must be made in writing by email and shall be effective only after receipt is acknowledged in writing by a Nature Horizons Salesperson.

To secure your tour and make it official, Nature Horizons Tours will use all of your 30% deposit to pay all hotel accommodations a deposit for every night of your tour. If you have to cancel your tour Nature Horizons Tours will not refund you a deposit. We can not guarantee that the hotel accommodations will refund Nature Horizons Tours for canceled rooms.

60 days before your tour, full payment is due. If you have to cancel your tour after full payment is received, Nature Horizons Tours will not issue a refund.

Please purchase Travel Insurance so you are fully covered in the event you need to cancel your tour. Learn More About Travel Insurance
