Our Services

The Company provides photo tours, multi-day workshops, and other Services. Together, these are hereby referred to as “Services”

Terms & Conditions

As photographers ourselves, we always do our utmost to ensure each participant has the opportunity to get the best shots possible on every tour.  However, we are dependent upon the weather, which is highly unpredictable.  Your photo guide will monitor local weather conditions and adjust any proposed itinerary according to conditions and any local weather warnings.

Bookings on Behalf of Others / Group Bookings

If you are making a booking on behalf of other participants (a "group booking"), you are considered the "Lead Booker." By making the booking, you warrant that you have the authority to act on behalf of all other participants.

You are responsible for ensuring that every participant in your group has personally read and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. You agree to provide each participant's name and email address to us so that we may send them a copy of these Terms for their individual e-signature.

Every adult participant must individually agree to and sign these Terms prior to the tour's departure. Participation is contingent upon receipt of a signed agreement from each individual. For any participant under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must sign on their behalf.

Trip Insurance

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that covers trip cancellations, medical expenses, personal injury, and other unforeseen events. It is your responsibility to ensure that your insurance is adequate for your needs.

Booking, Cancellation, and Refund Policy

We strive to be as clear and fair as possible. Our cancellation policy must account for the non-refundable payments we make in advance to our partners.

For this reason, we strongly recommend all travelers purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers trip cancellation, medical emergencies, and other unforeseen events.

Deposits & Final Payment

30% deposit is required to secure your booking. This deposit is refundable for 7 days (less transaction fees),after which it becomes a non-refundable credit, transferable to a future tour offered by Remote Expeditions within 4 years of the cancellation date, less any non-recoverable costs already paid on your behalf.

The final payment is due 90 days before the tour begins.

Cancellation by the Traveler

All cancellation requests must be submitted to Remote Expeditions Ltd in writing via email. The date on which we receive the cancellation notice will determine the applicable cancellation fees.

The cancellation fees are calculated as a percentage of the total tour price and are applied according to the following schedule:

  • Cancellation more than 90 days before departure: You will receive a full refund of any payments made, except for the 30% deposit. Your deposit will be converted into a travel credit valid for 4 years on a future tour Remote Expeditions.

  • Cancellation 90 days or less before departure: 100% of the tour price is forfeited. There are no refunds or credits.

We once again strongly recommend you purchase comprehensive trip cancellation insurance.

Important Note on Non-Refundable Services

Please be aware that some components of your tour, such as internal flights or specific permits, are 100% non-refundable from the moment we book them. In the event of a cancellation, the cost of these items is included within the forfeited percentages listed above. If one of our suppliers applies special cancellation conditions that are stricter than our own, these conditions will be communicated to you and will take precedence.

Cancellation by the Company

Remote Expeditions Ltd reserves the right to cancel a tour for any reason, including but not limited to, low participation rates, safety concerns, or other unforeseen circumstances that make the tour unviable.

  • Minimum Participation: Shared group tours require a minimum number of participants to proceed. We reserve the right to cancel any tour that does not meet this minimum.

  • Notification & Your Options: In the event we must cancel a tour, we will notify you as soon as possible. You will be offered the choice of either a full refund of all monies paid to us, or a credit of equal value towards an alternative tour.

Remote Expeditions Ltd is not liable for any additional expenses you may incur, such as non-refundable international flights, visa fees, or other independent travel preparations.

Other General Refund Conditions

  • Unused Services: No partial refunds or credits will be issued for any unused portion of the tour if a participant arrives late, leaves early, or chooses to opt out of a scheduled part of the itinerary.

  • Refund Processing: Any applicable refunds will be processed within 30 days of the cancellation notice. The costs of bank transactions for refunds are the responsibility of the client. Refunds will be issued via the same method used for the original payment where possible.
