Cancellations by Alyeska Outdoor Adventures

• If deemed by Alyeska Outdoor Adventures that any cancellation of your adventure package that is already in progress is directly contributed by Alyeska Outdoor Adventures, a full refund will be given to you for your inconvenience.  If the cancellation was contributed by a contracted company that Alyeska Outdoor Adventures uses for their adventure packages, then it is up to the discretion of said company whether or not they will offer a refund due to the cancellation.

Delays or cancellations can stem from numerous situations, such as, but not limited to: weather, nature, natural disasters, highway closures, vehicle maintenance, medical situations, animal encounters, or human error.
