Refund Policy

We know plans can change! Here’s how our refunds work so you know exactly what to expect.

Backpacking Trips and Courses

When you book a trip, you’ll pay a 35% deposit to hold your spot.

  • If you cancel 90 days or more before your trip starts, your deposit will be refunded.
  • If you cancel less than 90 days before your trip, the deposit is non-refundable.
  • The rest of your payment (called the balance) is due 60 days before the trip.
  • If you cancel 45 days or more before the trip, we’ll refund your balance.
  • If you cancel less than 45 days before the trip, the balance and the deposit is non-refundable.
  • Trips booked less than 45 days before the start date are non-refundable.

If you miss these deadlines, you still have options. You can transfer your spot to someone else up to 5 days before the trip, as long as it’s approved by WildBridge ahead of time.

If we can fill your spot from a waitlist, we’ll do our best to get you a full refund (minus a $75 fee).

If you miss the group’s departure, we’ll do our best to help you reconnect with us but we’re not able to offer a refund if you end up not coming on the trip.

Weather & Safety

Sometimes, we may need to change or cancel a trip due to bad weather or something else that may impact your safety. If that happens, you can:

  • Move your entire payment to another trip with open spaces, or
  • Get your balance refunded (the deposit is non-refundable).

We highly recommend carrying Trip Interruption and Cancellation Insurance to help cover costs in case you need to cancel or leave a trip early. WildBridge Tours is not responsible for costs related to evacuations or leaving a trip for any other reason.
