These impor­tant details are required by our on-ground team to plan logis­tics and book accom­mo­da­tions accu­rate­ly. If you fail to pro­vide these details, we can­not guar­an­tee our Guides can deliv­er the adver­tised itin­er­ary. It is your respon­si­bil­i­ty to con­tact us if any infor­ma­tion is incor­rect or if you have any ques­tions. We can­not accept lia­bil­i­ty or respon­si­bil­i­ty if you do not noti­fy us of any inac­cu­ra­cies. If you fail to sub­mit your trav­el doc­u­ments, per­son­al details and oth­er nec­es­sary doc­u­men­ta­tion pri­or to depar­ture, we reserve the right to treat your book­ing as can­celled by you and impose the can­cel­la­tion fees described in this agreement.

If you’re unable to have this infor­ma­tion to us and your bal­ance paid to us by 60 days – advise our office of your plans. We’ll do our best to accom­mo­date last-minute requests, but with­in 60 days of the ride depar­ture, we can­not guar­an­tee we can deliv­er the adver­tised itinerary. 

SINGLE ROOM UPGRADE

The sin­gle room sup­ple­ment is an addi­tion­al fee for par­tic­i­pants that request their own room for the dura­tion of the trip. This amount varies for each trip. If you are trav­el­ling on your own but do not request the sin­gle sup­ple­ment Sacred Rides will pair you up with some­one of the same gen­der. If you are trav­el­ling on your own and there is not anoth­er sin­gle per­son of the same gen­der, Sacred Rides will upgrade you to a sin­gle room for no addi­tion­al fee. If you would like the guar­an­tee of a sin­gle room, please select this add-on option at least 60 days in advance of your ride. Note: pay­ing for the sin­gle room sup­ple­ment is NOT an upgrade in accom­mo­da­tions. You will be stay­ing in sim­i­lar accommodations/rooms as oth­er Riders.

We do not accept any respon­si­bil­i­ty if you can­not trav­el, or incur any oth­er loss because you have not com­plied with any pass­port, visa, immi­gra­tion require­ments or health for­mal­i­ties.

14-DAY RISK-FREE BOOKING WINDOW

After putting down a ride deposit, you can can­cel at any point dur­ing the first 14 days after book­ing and get a 100% refund. This allows you 2 weeks to sort out flights and vaca­tion time with­out hav­ing to wor­ry about some­one else tak­ing your spot(s).

LIFETIME DEPOSIT POLICY

All book­ings require a $500 USD deposit. Our Life­time Deposit pol­i­cy allows any of our Rid­ers (i.e. clients) forced to delay a depar­ture or want­i­ng to switch des­ti­na­tions alto­geth­er the abil­i­ty to apply their ini­tial deposit towards a lat­er sched­uled date or anoth­er Ride at no extra charge. A Life­time Deposit has no expi­ra­tion date and trans­ferred an unlim­it­ed num­ber of times with­out penal­ty, for any depar­ture – pro­vid­ed room is still avail­able and your request is more than 60 days from depar­ture. Sim­ply put, we want to ensure you can enjoy the Sacred Rides expe­ri­ence you want, at a time that works best for you.

There are some impor­tant con­di­tions to be aware of regard­ing our Life­time Deposits:

• A Life­time Deposit is applic­a­ble in the peri­od after the 14-day Risk-Free Book­ing Win­dow and the 60 days pri­or to the sched­uled departure.
• Any can­cel­la­tions made with­in 60 days of the sched­uled depar­ture will be treat­ed as a pas­sen­ger can­cel­la­tion, in which case the entire pay­ment (due 60 days pri­or to depar­ture) will be for­feit­ed and can­not be applied to anoth­er depar­ture. This rule is strict and excep­tions can­not be made.
• Pri­vate groups & cus­tomized adven­tures may be exempt from Life­time Deposits.
• Life­time Deposits, or any por­tion of them, are not refund­able in cash 

When you’re ready to book anoth­er adven­ture with us, sim­ply use your Life­time Deposit to con­firm your new Ride.

REMAINING BALANCE AND PAYMENTS

After secur­ing your book­ing with a deposit, the remain­ing bal­ance is due 60 days pri­or to the ride start date. 

CANCELLATION BY YOU

We require 60 days notice for can­cel­la­tions. If you can­cel out­side of 60+ days of your ride your Life­time Deposit will still be active and can be applied to a future ride. Please see our Life­time Deposit poil­cy above for full details.

If you can­cel with­in 60 days of your sched­uled depar­ture, you will be for­feit­ing the full amount of your Ride. We strong­ly urge you to pur­chase trip can­cel­la­tion insur­ance. Many of our Rides fill up months in advance and hav­ing to turn peo­ple away means fore­gone rev­enue for us. We make hotel reser­va­tions sev­er­al months in advance, and in some cas­es, book in-coun­try flights and make oth­er trav­el arrange­ments that can­not be refunded. 

CANCELLATIONS BY US 

We require a min­i­mum of 4 Rid­ers to con­firm the ride is run­ning. Once you’ve booked your spot(s), our office will con­firm if the trip is run­ning and advise you to book inter­na­tion­al air­fare and trav­el plans. 

In rare occa­sions, a sit­u­a­tion aris­es beyond our con­trol, such as nat­ur­al dis­as­ters, polit­i­cal unrest, or oth­er sim­i­lar events that may affect our abil­i­ty to deliv­er a safe and enjoy­able trip. In this case, we con­sult exten­sive­ly with our local staff to ascer­tain the pos­si­bil­i­ty of run­ning a safe trip. Our can­cel­la­tion pol­i­cy is as fol­lows:- If our local staff feel the trip can go ahead with­out undue risk to our clients’ safe­ty, then the trip will go ahead and if the cus­tomer decides to can­cel then that is treat­ed as a pas­sen­ger can­cel­la­tion.- If we feel it would be unsafe to run a trip as sched­uled, then the trip is can­celled and we give you a spot on anoth­er depar­ture of the same trip, or a full cred­it to use towards any of our oth­er trips. Please rest assured that your safe­ty is our #1 con­cern, and we would not run a trip if we felt your safe­ty would be compromised.
