General Deposit & Payment Policy

Within ten days of your phone call you must confirm your reservation with a non-refundable deposit. Half day and Express trips require at $5 per person, per day deposit with the balance due 30 days prior to your trip date. Day trips require a $10 per person per day deposit with the balance being due 45 days from the trip date. World Class Rivers, where space is extremely limited, require a $20 per person per day deposit and the balance is due 60 days prior to the trip date.

If you wish to make a reservation after the balance due date of your trip, we are happy to accept money orders, VISA, MasterCard, or Discover to confirm your reservation. Reservations not paid in full by the balance due dater are subject to cancellations without notice.

 

General Cancellation & Refund Policy

Because operating funds are committed long before the trip departs, few, if any, of these expenses can be recovered on late cancellations. If you are unable to attend your scheduled trip, feel free to find a substitute to fill your spot. If you must cancel your reservation with more than 30 days notice, we will refund the full amount less the nonrefundable per person deposit. If you cancel with 20 to 30 days notice you will receive a 50% refund; if you cancel with 10-19 days notice, you will receive a 25% refund.

Cancellations with less than 10 days notice will not receive a refund, but you will be issued a percentage of payment as a River Voucher. (River Vouchers are good for one year from the date of your trip.) If you must cancel your trip, please let us know as soon as possible so that you may receive the largest percentage refund or River Voucher applicable.

Because river and weather conditions can change, we reserve the right to move trips to a different section of river or to another river for reasons of safety or low water, in which case price differences will be refunded. No refund or rain checks will be issued unless the outfitter completely cancels the day's events.

Due to the rigors of a river adventure, consumption of alcohol or drugs is not permitted before or during raft trips. Intoxicated or drug impaired persons will be refused without refund.


How long can I wait to reserve?

Many of our trips do book up in advance, but not all of them. If you have a flexible schedule and can raft on 2 or 3 different days, then we can usually get you on a trip after you visit the area.  If you have a tight schedule and can only raft on one day, you should reserve further in advance. 

What if my plans change?

If you need to cancel, please see our cancellation policy above.

If you need to reschedule, call our Nantahala outpost at 828-488-3316. Rescheduling will depend on your group size, how far in advance you try to reschedule, and the availability of rafting space on the day you wish to reschedule to. We will try to work with you to reschedule. We can't guarantee that we will be able to accomodate your rescheduling request.
