PLEASE NOTE:
Beginning August 1, 2021, for all new guests registering for our US-based tours, we will implement our standard cancellation policy:
We offer the following cancellation policy for our shorter, domestic tours that require a $500 deposit and our Epic tours which require a non- refundable deposit to sign up. In the rare case that Cycle of Life Adventures (COLA) must cancel a trip due to low enrollment, we will do so at least 45 days prior to departure. If we cancel fewer than 45 days prior to departure, we will issue you a full refund plus a $400 credit toward any of our other tours within a calendar year.
Exceptions to our cancellation policy cannot be made for any reason, including weather, civil unrest, terrorism, natural disasters or personal, family and medical emergencies. In all cases, we will not be responsible for any personal expenses incurred such as airline tickets, hotels or car rentals. COLA reserves the right to make route and lodging modifications, as needed.
No refunds will be made for meals, services or lodging paid for but not used.
Travel insurance is recommended for Epic Adventures.

If this decision is made 45 days or less from departure, we will offer an additional $400 credit toward that transfer.
