Journey Beyond Travel will not cancel a trip for any reason within our own control. We do, however, reserve the right to cancel any trip due to unforeseen mishaps, acts of God or Nature, and in-country political and civil situations and/or instability, including terrorism.

If a change of dates is granted, each traveler will be expected to pay an amount equivalent to the booking fee in order to re-arrange transport and hotels. If a traveler or group requests a change of tour dates before a trip’s start date and it cannot be arranged, it will be treated as a full cancellation. No changes of tour dates will be made 60 days before an already booked tour. Journey Beyond Travel does not cover any charges due to these changes.

Changes to Hotels and Itineraries:

Any initial or additional requests (meals, rooms, etc.) before a trip will cost $99 USD to cover administrative costs.

By joining a trip, you agree to listen and abide by all rules and decisions made by your tour leader and guides.
