POLICIES & TERMS OF SERVICE

Monsoon, Winter Season, or Inclement Weather:

Travelers understand that booking a tour during monsoon or winter poses risks of postponement, reschedule, or cancellation. 

During monsoon & winter season in Arizona we take precautions to ensure that our travelers are safe during tours. For this reason we ask that you read these policies in their entirety BEFORE booking a tour. Travelers who book online and agree to the cancellation and weather p0licies as well as the terms & conditions are traveling at their own risk and agree that they have understood the detailed weather policies provided here, on Tripadvisor/Viator, and our booking pages. NO REFUNDS OF ANY KIND ARE OFFERED DURING MONSOON  or WINTER SEASON 

WHY WE DO THIS:

It is important to understand that it takes our team 3-4 hours to prepare for our tours, especially the UFO tour. For this reason we are preparing for a tour, traveling to the our tour center and even starting the tour sometimes before a decision on weather can be made. Because of these reasons all sales are final and tour credits are offered for a later experience if necessary.

If your tour is cancelled, postponed or otherwise delayed by rain, cloud coverage, lightening, heavy winds, snow, sand storms, or any other form of inclement weather we offer each traveler or group an opportunity for a one-time reschedule or exchange your night time tour for a day-time Vortex tour at no additional charge(BY AVAILABILITY ONLY), Or our standard 5-year tour credit. If a traveler will not be in town for the rescheduled tour, the traveler may use this credit anytime up to 5 years into the future for the exact same tour with no price increases. TOUR CREDITS ARE NOT VALID FOR PRODUCTS IN OUR STORE OR ONLINE. 

Please be aware that reschedules are done by availability and travelers who have had a cancelled tour are provided first right of refusal if an availability arises the following days after the cancelled tour.
