• or full payment for the trip

For any booking made less than 3 months before the departure date, full payment for the trip is required at the time of booking.

2. Payment of the balance

Where a deposit was paid at the time of booking, the remaining balance must be paid no later than 3 months before the trip start date. However, the participant may pay the balance in full at any time before this deadline. If payment of the balance is not received within the stipulated time, Walden Aventure reserves the right to cancel the booking in accordance with the applicable cancellation conditions.

3. Cancellation and refund policy

Any cancellation request must be sent to Walden Aventure by email and will be deemed effective on the date of receipt.

4. Transfer of participation

If a participant is no longer able to take part in the trip, they may request to transfer their booking to another person. Walden Aventure may accept this transfer provided that:

• the new person meets the conditions for participating in the trip
• the suppliers and partners concerned are able to accept this change
• any administrative fees or additional costs incurred are paid

The transfer request must be made sufficiently in advance of departure to allow the necessary arrangements to be made.

Should Walden Aventure be required to cancel a trip:

• all amounts paid by the participant will be refunded in full, including the deposit
• No further compensation may be granted beyond the refund of the amounts paid

6. Refund terms

Eligible refunds are made within a reasonable period (30 days) following confirmation of the cancellation. Refunds are made in the currency used for the original payment. Transaction fees, bank charges, currency conversion fees and any other costs already incurred with third parties are non-refundable.

7. Cancellation insurance

Walden Aventure strongly recommends that each participant take out travel insurance covering, in particular, cancellation, trip interruption, medical expenses and unforeseen events that could prevent participation in the trip.
