I want you to book with confidence, so here’s how cancellations work.

If you need to cancel

• By July 3, 2027 (14 or more days before the trip): You’ll receive a full 100% refund of your registration.
• Within 14 days of the trip (after July 3, 2027): I’m unable to offer refunds, because the money for your reserved camping has already been committed.

If I need to cancel
If I cancel the trip, even as late as the day before, you’ll receive a full 100% refund. If a weather postponement moves the trip to the alternate dates (July 24-25, 2027), you can choose a full refund instead (see the Bad Weather Plan).

If we switch to Plan B on trip day
If conditions on the morning of July 17 aren’t safe for the full route, we’ll move to Plan B: camping at Tettegouche State Park, hiking, and a paddle to Palisade Head and the sea caves, launching from a different location. Because the trip is still going ahead, no refunds are given for a Plan B switch.

Required gear
You’re responsible for arriving with all required gear: a kayak that meets the requirements, spray skirt, paddle, wetsuit, and a USCG Level 70 (legacy Type III) life jacket. If you arrive without it, you won’t be able to go on the water and no refund will be issued. This applies to rental kayakers too, so please make sure your rental gear is picked up and ready to go.

If you chose Option 2 (kayak rental)
Your rental is a separate agreement with ABC Company, so I can’t refund anything they don’t refund. Please read their cancellation terms before you sign the rental agreement.
