INSURANCE: We offer a comprehensive insurance plan to cover you on your adventures. This package covers you for trip cancellation and interruption, baggage loss protection, and medical coverage along with emergency evacuation coverage, up to $25,000 USD. Insurance is effective the day we receive your designated payment for the insurance or the day your final balance is paid. Supplemental health insurance is mandatory for travellers booked on all BikeHike Adventures Inc. adventures.

Hospital facilities for serious problems are often unavailable and evacuation can be prolonged, difficult, and expensive. BikeHike Adventures Inc. assumes no liability regarding provision of medical care. Trip members will receive appropriate health information prior to departure and all travellers 55 years or older are required to have a medical evaluation completed by their physician. Once you have been confirmed on a trip, normal cancellation penalties apply if your doctor does not approve the medical evaluation.

TRANSFERS: Participants who must cancel more than 60 days prior to departure may apply their $400 USD deposit to another BikeHike Adventures Inc. adventure within 1 year from the date of cancellation, less a $200 US administration fee. Participants are only permitted to transfer once.

CANCELLED TRIPS: BikeHike Adventures Inc. reserves the right to cancel any trip due to inadequate sign-up making the trip economically unfeasible to operate. Most BikeHike Adventures Inc. trips are guaranteed with a minimum of two travellers. In cases where there are less than two traveling, BikeHike Adventures Inc. will inform clients 30 days prior to departure of cancellation. A full refund of the land cost is given, but BikeHike Adventures, Inc. is not responsible for additional expenses incurred by members preparing for the trip (i.e. nonrefundable air tickets, clothing, equipment, medical expenses). The company reserves the right to withdraw, alter or otherwise modify tours, itineraries, specific programs or activities at any time and without notice.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRIP MEMBERS: Adventure participants have certain responsibilities to BikeHike Adventures Inc. and to other trip members. Each traveler is responsible for understanding the conditions implied in the trip Itinerary and selecting a trip (in consultation with BikeHike Adventures Inc.) that is appropriate to their interests and abilities, and for preparing for the trip by studying the trip Itinerary and supplemental trip information sent by BikeHike Adventures Inc.
