Cancellation Policy:
Cancellations affect us signifcantly. A last minute cancellation leaves us little chance of filling the reserved space due to the nature of our business. For these reasons, we uphold a strict cancellation policy. Cancellations made 30 days before your trip are transferable. After 30 days prior to your scheduled trip, no refund is possible regardless of the reason. You can replace your guests at anytime but we cannot refund money for no-shows unless we are able to re-book the space.
Weather:
Texas weather is often windy, wet and sometime violent of which we have no control. Windy conditions and light drizzle are normally not reasons for cancellation. Consequently, we are very careful in consulting with the client before any decisions are made to cancel a trip. The guide ultimately determines the final decision. If weather cancellation occurs, you have the option of re-scheduling or obtaining a refund.
