FAQ’s

When you book and the activity is confirmed:

• All our Private Guiding and Workshops, you have 24 hours from when you make your booking to change or cancel with no charge to you (provided your booking is not within 48 hours of the event). After this 24 hour period, there are no refunds.  If something happens and you are unable to make it to your Private Guiding Session or Workshop, the booking can be switched to a future date and will never expire. You also may transfer your booking to another person or a gift certificate.
• We will gladly accept a substitute guest should you not be able to attend or a credit to your account which can be used to book another date or activity.

Should Rocky Mountain Photo Adventures cancel a group activity, your registration will be transferred to the next available event date which you are able to attend. If you are unable to attend any future dates your registration fee will be refunded.

In the case of unforeseen circumstances where the photography guide or group workshop leader you have booked cannot make it to your session, Rocky Mountain Photo Adventures reserves the right to replace that guide with another qualified guide in order to maintain our commitment to your booking.

Mountain weather is unpredictable in all seasons and as much as we would like to, we cannot guarantee nice weather for every program. Most people who enjoy being in the mountains recognize and understand this but we want our guests to be informed when making mountain adventure decisions. Weather and mountain conditions are a constant factor that shape decisions we make before and during our programs. Even the most seasoned weather forecasters have a high degree of variability within their short term forecasts in the Canadian Rockies. When you make a booking in advance, in essence, you are taking a chance on weather conditions.  It would not be practical for us to refund every situation where our guests do not get the weather for perfect photography conditions.

We will work diligently to give you the best experience with the conditions we face at the time. If on your program day you are not willing to venture out in the conditions or accept an alternative program, unfortunately, we will not be able to provide a credit or a refund since our costs have been already committed. We take your booking in good faith.  We ask that you fully understand our cancellation policies prior to booking.
