By signing up for a trip, workshop, or attending a field trip sponsored by Birds Georgia, I acknowledge that these activities can be hazardous and that I could be injured. I agree that I am voluntarily participating in these activities and assume any risk of physical injury or damage to my property. In addition, I grant Birds Georgia, its representatives and employees the right to take photographs of my and my property during the program, and authorize Birds Georgia to use and publish the same in print and/or electronically. I agree that Birds Georgia may use such photographs of me with or without my name and for any lawful purpose, including, for example, publicity, illustration, advertising, and web content.
I acknowledge and agree to adhere to the following Payment Plan:
1. $500.00 due to reserve spot on trip.
2. Half of cost (less $500) due by November 15, 2024
3. Full payment must be made by February 14, 2025
*The final payment would include your single supplement and extension payment(s) if applicable
Single supplement for non-shared hotel room: TBD. Rates will be known in fall of 2024 for both main tour and extension
*Based on double occupancy and 10 participants. See more details below if travelling solo
* Prices are an estimate due to local vendors not setting prices yet. Final prices expected to be set in September or October of 2024. Trip costs were based off of 2024 trip costs with a minor increase included. Please reach out to Adam Betuel if you have any questions.
I also agree to the following Cancellation Policy:
Cancellation Policy: If notice of cancellation by the participant is received by October 31, 2024 a refund of all payments made will be given (less a $50 administrative and all credit card fees). If notice of cancellation is received between November 1, 2024 and February 1, 2025 a 50% refund of the fees paid to date will be given unless the space(s) can be filled, in which case a full refund will be given (less a $50 administrative fee and all credit card fees). Thereafter, all deposits and payments are non-refundable unless the space(s) can be filled, in which case a full refund will be given (less a $50 administrative fee and all credit card fees). In the event of tour cancellation due to weather, strike, war, quarantine, or other unforeseen emergency situation, a refund will be given less any non-refundable payments made to local companies. Please contact Adam Betuel if you have any questions regarding the non-refundable payment schedule.
Travel Insurance:
We do not require travel insurance. However, we highly recommend buying it, as it is relatively inexpensive and can protect you from unforeseen costs associated with missed, delayed, or canceled flights, sudden illness, medical evacuation, damaged equipment, or other unexpected issues. Note that in some circumstances, such as if you have preexisting medical conditions, travel insurance must be purchased within 1-2 weeks of paying the trip deposit.
For St. Paul Island, travel insurance is strongly recommended, as weather and equipment/mechanical delays can occur (occasionally lasting days). It’s best you prepare for these. Make sure you have nothing urgent to attend to immediately post-tour, and please cover yourself financially in the event of trip interruption, curtailment, or in the event of an equipment or a mechanical delay with the airline (RAVN Alaska) that services the island.
