Cancellation Policy

Amazon Heart understands that the unexpected can happen and prevent you from joining one of our adventures after you have registered and made your accommodation payment.  On our adventures we work with hotels and travel providers who do require non-refundable deposits, so in case of cancellation we are not always able to make refunds of your payments.  We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance to cover you for potential losses in this situation.

$600 Accommodation fee.  Full payment of this fee is due August 13. Cancellation will incur a 50% penalty fee up until August 27, 2010.  After August 27, cancellation will result in a full loss of accommodation payments.
