Important Note: One of the things that we enjoy the most about our excursions is that every day in the rainforest is a unique experience. Things change according to the weather and season, and as such, our trips may vary slightly from what’s advertised.

Cancelations made less than 48 hours before departure time, late arrivals, and no-shows will maintain a full charge.

If we are forced to cancel a tour due to weather conditions, we will offer you the solution that best fits your needs, including rescheduling, booking another tour, or a full refund.
