Cancellation Policy
Soraka reserves the right to cancel departures in cases of force majeure or the failure of third parties, such as hotels, to honor their reservations. In these cases we will endeavor to find you a similar hotel or you will be refunded your trip price, less any nonrecoverable costs. Should a natural disaster result in the cancellation of your Soraka Tours trip, you can choose to reschedule your trip for a future date or 100% of your funds will be placed on account for a future trip. Soraka Tours is not responsible for expenses incurred in preparation for any canceled or postponed trips, such as airline tickets, or for costs that are incurred due to travel delays, flight cancellations or illness.
Exceptions
Exceptions to our cancellation policy cannot be made for any reason, including but not limited to weather, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemics, personal, family or medical emergencies. There is no refund for arriving late or leaving a trip early. All upgrades including but not limited to private rooms, safari tents/lodges, and internal air travel shall be considered part of the total trip price and are subject to cancellation fees. Percentage cancellation fees are calculated on your total tour price (see below).
Traveling Solo
If you are traveling solo on an Open Group Climb, and do not wish to have a hotel or tent roommate, you may upgrade your trip for a designated fee as descibed on the pricing page.
Travel Protection Plan
Because you can’t plan for the unexpected, we strongly encourage that you consider the Global Rescue Plan to help protect against financial loss due to cancellation fees and to provide evacuation services if needed. A travel protection plan may protect up to 100% of your vacation investment when unforeseen covered issues arise. Visit Global Rescue for a detailed plan summary and more information.
