We sincerely appreciate your interest in Slonina Photography Tours. We make every effort to improve our service and ensure the utmost satisfaction of our valued customers. If a reservation has to be cancelled, customers will be charged a fee depending on how far from the departure date the cancellation takes place.

If you cancel 120 days or more prior to the start date of the trip:
You will be given a full refund minus a $100 processing fee (per person).

Note: There is one exception for the Alaska Bear Workshop. This trip has considerable upfront cost. Please click here for the cancellation policy for that trip.

Processing Fee:
We have a $100 processing fee (per person) because the banks charge interest for each credit card payment we receive. If we provide a refund, we lose that amount. We also have to refill that spot by advertising through social media, website changes, and ads. It is very time consuming and can possibly cost us even more money.

If you cancel between 90 and 120 days prior to the start date of the trip:
We will retain your deposit but we will return any additional money that you have paid.  

One exception: If the trip sells out, I will offer a full refund or credit towards a future tour minus a $100 processing fee (per person).

If you cancel less than 90 days prior to the start date of the trip
There is no refund.

Photo tours require an enormous amount of work, advertising, and prepaying expenses that are not refundable which occurs long before the start date of the trip. It is difficult to fill a spot within a few months of the start date of the trip. We have a waitlist, but the closer we get to the trip it becomes more difficult to fill the spot.

Please get trip insurance to protect yourself.

We strongly advise all customers to purchase traveler’s insurance.

We recommend that all customers consider obtaining traveler's insurance to safeguard themselves against unexpected disruptions, such as accidents, family emergencies, medical illnesses, terrorist attacks, acts of God, natural disasters (e.g., fires, earthquakes, hurricanes), or any unforeseen circumstances that may arise.

Please note that we cannot assume responsibility for cancellations resulting from
medical emergencies or any of the aforementioned occurrences.
