Explorer Chick wants nothing more than for you to escape on one of our adventures. However, we understand emergencies do occur that may cause you to cancel your reservation.
We strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance to protect your investment. It’s more than lost luggage or flight delays, but it’s also protection in case you have to cancel your trip before departure due to an emergency. Always read your policy wording to review your specific coverage and to make sure that the policy is right for you.
Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE.
Refunds will be given as outlined below based on days prior to trip arrival and length of trip.
No exceptions will be granted to our Cancellation policy.
Explorer Chick requires a minimum number of guests before confirming a departure. Every trip page states the minimum number of required guests under the “Logistics” section. A trip is confirmed as soon as our minimum guest count is met.
We reserve the right to cancel trips with inadequate participant attendance, in which case all money paid to Explorer Chick Adventure Co, Inc will be fully refunded.
Some trips require special permits in order to run. (ex. Inca Trail, backpacking trips). If a trip has special permit information, you will find it detailed under the “Logistics” section. Please read this information carefully.
If special use permits are not acquired, then all money paid to Explorer Chick Adventure Co, Inc will be fully refunded.
Do not book any airfare or travel before your trip is confirmed.
Explorer Chick Adventure Co, Inc. CANNOT be held responsible for any personal expenses, such as airline tickets due to changes in itineraries or tour cancellations.

To accommodate such situations, Explorer Chick has a Trip Transfer Policy. Funds paid on the trip will be transferred as outlined below based on days prior to arrival and the length of the current trip.
Transfer can be made to any scheduled tour.
No exceptions will be granted to our transfer policy.

Warning – Radical candor incoming: Some women kinda suck. You know the types, and we do not hold space for them in our community.
We have a Zero Tolerance Policy when it comes to Mean Girls and Debbie Downers.
Explorer Chicks are kind, supportive, and welcoming.
If you are a Debbie Downer that loves to complain, do not book an adventure with us. Debbie Downers not only ruin their vacation, but can quickly have an averse effect on everyone else’s trip. Bad attitudes are cancerous to our group dynamics and just disrespectful.
Mean Girls are also invited to stay home. Bullying, egos, and hurtful trash talk is the fastest way to be removed from an adventure. They will not be tolerated.
Our guides are Explorer Chick Advocates. We will remove Debbie Downers and Mean Girls from a trip because the group’s overall experience is our priority – we will not cater to nor bend to please the never satisfied, persistent complainers, meanies, or down right miserable people. (That being said, we understand everyone has a bad day! This happens. We’ll work through it!).
