PNG TREKKING ADVENTURES :: POLICIES FOR ALL TRIPS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
DEPOSITS: A nonrefundable AUS$500/person deposit is required to reserve a place on any expedition. With full payment due no later than 90 days prior to departure.
PAYMENTS: Cashiers check, wire transfer or money order made out to P Christie is acceptable. Wire transfer National Australia Bank, 719 Albany Creek Road, Albany Creek, Qld, 4035, Australia Bank BSB# 084 102 ACC# 58310 3676. (National Bank Swift Code NATA AU 3302 S) Please identify on deposit who payment is from.
REFUNDS: In the event you decide not to go or are unable to go on your trip, the following guidelines will apply. 121 days or more before expedition: 100% refund of all payments and deposits. 61 to 120 days before expedition: 50% refund of all payments and deposits. 0 to 60 days before expedition: no refund of any payments and deposits. This policy has been established based on pre-departure requirements. As the expedition approaches food needs to be purchased and packed, hotel reservations made, guides hired, plane tickets purchased for guides, transportation reserved, group equipment organized and packed and logistics planned for a certain size of group. This represents a fair refund policy considering costs incurred prior to any trip. If an expedition or trek ends early, due to safety concerns, accident, illness, or weather there will be no refund. If you have not paid in full by 90 days prior to departure, and you have not contacted us concerning other payment options, we may have to schedule someone else in your place. In this case PNG Trekking Adventures will not be liable for costs associated with this policy.
IF THE EXPEDITION IS CANCELED: If for any reason PNG Trekking Adventures has to cancel your trip, all payments will be refunded in full, or fully transferable towards another trip, this represents PNG Trekking Adventures full liability in this event.
TRIP DATES: All trip departure and arrival dates are just that, dates to plan arrival in and departure from Port Moresby. If you would like to spend more time before or after the trip, make your reservations accordingly. Always a good idea travelling to other countries to arrive a day earlier in case of missed connections or late baggage arrival.
LIABILITY WAIVER: All participants will be required to sign a liability release. This is a requirement of our insurance policy. This acknowledges that you understand and accept the hazards and risks of mountaineering, trekking and traveling in a foreign country and are medically fit for the trip you have chosen.
MEDICAL INSURANCE: All expedition participants must have insurance for all medical and hospital costs, including all associated rescue, evacuation, and transportation costs. Please take time to review your medical insurance policy carefully to be sure it will cover you in Papua New Guinea and will cover rescue and evacuation costs, as well as transportation in an emergency back to your place of origin in the event your original ticket will not work. Many policies, for a small additional fee, will cover you during the course of your stay abroad. Keep in mind, helicopter evacuation costs can be expensive. PNGTA will not take participants on any expeditions that do not have the above appropriate insurance cover.
PLEASE NOTE: Papua New Guinea Trekking Adventures is not responsible for any medical, hospital, doctor, rescue, evacuation, or associated transportation costs. We will assist you with any emergency logistics in the event of problems.
TRAVEL INSURANCE: PNG Trekking Adventures highly recommends a travel insurance policy to cover, in the unlikely event of its occurrence, any theft of personal belongings, problems with plane tickets, personal or medical emergencies, emergency rescue and evacuation, or to protect your payments and deposits from any unforeseen necessity to cancel your expedition at the last minute.
