Covid-19:

By booking one of our trips, you agree to comply with international and local rules regarding Covid-19. You agree to undertake (at your own expenses) all necessary tests, medical exams, and vaccinations that your departure and destination countries might require. Crazy Puffin Adventures will not be held responsible if you are denied entry or a visa for failing to comply with any Covid-19 related rule.

 

Crazy Puffin Adventures will not be liable for any extra costs incurred by Covid-19 treatments or additional hotel expenses. Each client understands the risks associated with Covid-19 travel and is fully responsible for taking precautions to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

​

 

Travel insurance:

It is a condition of booking a Crazy Puffin Adventures Tour that you take out appropriate travel insurance. You must send us proof of cover when you make payment of the balance due for your Tour. We cannot approve the cover you have bought and are not responsible if it is inadequate.

 

We require all customers to obtain sufficient insurance that, in the event of any possible risk, will provide sufficient cover for the customer and if applicable, any dependents he or she is traveling with. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance coverage includes, but is not limited to, medical and health cover for an injury or sudden illness while on tour, 24-hour emergency service, and assistance (including repatriation if you become too ill to continue the tour), cancellation and curtailment, lost and stolen possessions cover, and personal liability cover. Any claims must be directed towards your insurers.

 

The cover should be obtained not only against normal travel risks but against additional risks appropriate to the destination country. In particular, local road transport insurance may be inadequate, so you should check that your cover includes accidents happening whilst you are a passenger in a vehicle.

 

We strongly recommend that you choose travel insurance that covers your costs should you have to cancel your travel reservation with short notice.

 

​

​Passport and Visa:

We strongly recommend making sure your passport is valid for at least six months after the date of return of your Tour.

 

You are responsible for ensuring you have a valid visa for the destination you are traveling to where required. We might provide you with support paperwork and also advise you on the visa process but you must be aware that visa regulations change constantly and differ between Embassies in different countries. Our advice should only be taken as a guide and you should ensure you are aware of all the up-to-date requirements from your government state advice and the nearest Embassy of the country you are visiting.

 

If the customer has provided accurate information on time, has undertaken all necessary visa procedures on time and their visa is refused, we will grant a full refund of any payments made to us minus an administration fee of $50, associated transaction fees, and costs. In this case, we require customers to send us all documentation proving proper visa application as well as rejection documents received from the embassy. In addition, we will not be held responsible for any costs incurred by the customer traveling to the location from which their tour was scheduled to depart.

 

In the event a customer intentionally misleads us in an attempt to use our invitation to enter illegally a country, all deposits and payments will be forfeited.
