KEY BOOKING INFORMATION

Having chosen the holiday you are interested in, below is some information which you may find useful in relation to your booking and holiday. Details correct at time of publication, please call or go online to check up-to-date booking conditions: www.exodustravels.com/about-exodus/ exodus-booking-conditions

1. Refer to the Trip Notes

The Trip Notes form part of our contract with you and they contain the most up-to-date information about the holiday, including details about the itinerary, inclusions and exclusions. Please download and take the latest version of the Trip Notes with you on your holiday.

2. About the trip Is this trip for you?

We aim to provide detailed and accurate information in our documentation so that clients can assess their own suitability and fitness for a specific trip. We ask that you satisfy yourself prior to booking that you are able to complete the itinerary as described in the Trip Notes. All our trips feature Activity Level icons as guides to the type of itinerary and the level of challenge the trip will involve. An explanation of each Activity Level can be found at www.exodustravels. com/activity-levels. Please let your sales consultant know during the booking process if you have concerns or queries about any aspects of the itinerary.

Participation

We ask our clients to always abide by the authority of the tour leader. There is an agreement in place between Exodus and our tour leaders, allowing them to exclude any client from part or all of a trip if it unfortunately becomes apparent that they cannot manage particular elements of a trip or are likely to put either themselves or other people at risk. It is, however, not a decision that is reached lightly or that is made frequently.

Pre-existing medical conditions

We ask you to let us know of any pre-existing conditions, illnesses, disabilities or recent surgeries which may affect your safety or other people’s enjoyment of the holiday. Please email info@exodustravels.com to make us aware of any pre-existing medical conditions. Our Trip Notes provide information on whether a particular holiday is considered to be suitable for a person with reduced mobility. There is no upper age limit on our tours, but as most holidays are quite active, we may ask clients over the age of 80 a number of questions about their health and fitness. We also require you to advise us of any dietary requirements in advance of a tour.

Accommodation

Our prices are based on twin-share accommodation which means that if you book on your own, we will arrange for you to share with a person of the same gender as per the information given to Exodus at the time of booking. We ask you to satisfy yourself that you do not have any conditions or preferences which may preclude you from sharing a room, and that you speak to your sales consultant if you would like to enquire about a single supplement.

Key information to help you prepare

Important trip documentation will be provided during the booking process and prior to your holiday. If you have any queries or notice any inaccuracies, please contact Exodus as soon as possible. We are able to provide basic advice to clients regarding passports, visa and entry requirements, but you should check with the appropriate embassy, consulate or the Government of Travel and Tourism Resources for the exact requirements for your chosen tour and date of travel. Canadian Nationals require a full passport which is valid for six months after the date of your scheduled return home. The Trip Notes for each holiday provide more detailed information on visa requirements. We recommend that you contact your Medical Professional or a Travel Health Clinic for information about vaccinations or specific health risks in the area to which you are travelling. Please see the Practical Information section of the Trip Notes for information relating to vaccinations for your specific tour. The Trip Notes also include information about packing suggestions and essential items that we recommend you bring on your holiday.

Risks of adventure travel

Whilst we ensure that all activities are operated to the local legal standard and that risk assessments are carried out annually, many of our holidays do carry an element of risk. On many of our tours, the areas are remote and events far less predictable than on a conventional holiday. Health, safety and operational standards, particularly of hotels and transport, are often not up to the levels we experience at home. We require that all the properties and transport we use comply fully with local regulations, but we do not guarantee the same standards as in your home country. If you choose to travel on this type of holiday, you must be prepared to accept that this is all part of the experience. Adverse weather conditions, political situations and a host of other uncontrollable factors can mean a change in itinerary. Outdoor activities are weather dependent to an extent and some can become dangerous in certain conditions. If the leader feels there is any heightened level of risk involved in an activity, they may amend or cancel it as they see fit. It is unlikely that an itinerary would be substantially altered, but if changes are necessary, we will make the best possible alternative arrangements which maintain the integrity of the original itinerary. We will do everything we can to minimise the effect, but we cannot be held responsible for the impact of changes outside our control. Crime and other security risks exist in all countries and whilst travelling in a group is a safeguard, it is not a guarantee of safety. We will take all reasonable care of you and expect that you will take sensible precautions yourself.

Transfers

If you are travelling on the designated group flights, return airport transfers may be included at the destination. If you are travelling on non-group flights, airport transfers may be at an additional cost unless shown in your documentation as a free or included transfer; please ask your sales consultant for transfer details during the booking process. If you book on a Land Only basis, services start and end at the local joining point detailed in your documentation.

3. How to book

If you would like to make a booking you can contact us in several ways: directly over the telephone (1 800 267 3347), by email using info@exodustravels.com, via our website www.exodustravels.com and the Live Chat function on our website, or through an approved travel agent.

Travel insurance

Adequate and valid travel insurance for your chosen itinerary is compulsory for all travellers and it is a condition of accepting your booking that you agree you will have obtained adequate and valid travel insurance. We recommend you take out insurance as soon as your booking is confirmed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Canadian travellers on a Canadian only domestic trip then adequate and valid travel insurance is not compulsory, but we strongly recommend you have cover in place (in particular cover for cancellation, property & personal belongings).

4. Payment, cancellations and changes

Unless stated otherwise during the booking process or in the full terms and conditions, the following applies:

Deposit

You will be asked to pay a deposit at the time of booking of at least 25% per person of your selected travel arrangements (minimum $350 CAD per person or equivalent). You may also be required to pay on booking for any non-transferable and non-refundable items; your sales consultant will advise you of this during the booking process. Please note that for certain travel arrangements, including all Polar holidays, the deposit may be higher than those shown.

Final balance

We will invoice you for the remainder of the cost of your holiday, which must be paid prior to 90 days before departure. In certain cases, including Polar holidays, we may request full payment more than 90 days before departure where, for example, airlines require full payment on booking.

Making changes to your trip

Please contact Exodus as soon as possible if you wish to make a change to your existing booking, wish to change to a different tour or wish to change departure date. We will always endeavour to assist with the requested change, but this is subject to availability and payment may need to be made for non-refundable costs (for example from airlines) and other fees may also be applicable, including a $75 CAD administration charge.

Cancellation conditions

You may cancel your tour at any time by providing written communication from the lead booker. As we start to incur costs from the time the contract is confirmed we will retain your deposit and will apply other cancellation charges as shown below. Please note, however, that for certain travel arrangements, including all Polar holidays, the cancellation charge may be higher than those shown; please ask your sales consultant for full details of cancellation charges at time of booking.

If we change or cancel your booking

We plan the arrangements for your tour many months in advance and may occasionally have to make changes, most of which are minor. When a major change (as outlined in the full terms and conditions on our website) occurs, you will have the choice of either: a) accepting the change; or b) accepting a replacement tour from us of equivalent or similar standard and price (at the date of the change), if we are able to offer you one; or c) cancelling your tour, in which case you shall receive a full refund of all monies paid. Most of our trips are group holidays and require a certain number of participants to operate; we include details of normal group sizes in the Trip Notes and on our website. In the unlikely event that a trip does not reach the normal minimum, we may be forced to cancel the tour; a decision will be made as early as possible and not later than 20 days before departure. We reserve the right to confirm trips on numbers lower than the minimum indicated and occasionally we may exceed the normal maximum. If at the time of booking your trip is not guaranteed, we strongly recommend that you do not make any non-refundable or nonchangeable travel arrangements. All holidays advertised in our brochures and on our website are operated by Exodus Travels Canada Inc. TICO Registered number 002471880 (hereinafter called ‘the Company’, ‘Exodus’, ’we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’), a member of the Travelopia Group of Companies.
