Trip Cancellation Insurance

Rescue Insurance

We recommend that you purchase rescue insurance in case you require emergency medical rescue or evacuation due to illness or injury.
Rescue costs can be considerable. Most rescues and medical evacuations from the remote locations we operate in involve helicopter flights which can cost several thousand dollars per hour. Participants are responsible for these costs.
Some private insurance policies cover emergency rescue costs. However it is important to confirm prior to your trip that your private insurance covers rescues and includes rescues arising from mountain or climbing-related accidents.

Paypal has a convoluted system which allows you to make an eCheck payment from your bank account to our Paypal account.  This saves us the 3% credit card fees, we only pay a nominal transaction fee instead.  To use the eCheck system, you need:

  1. a Paypal account
  2. to link your Paypal account to your bank account
