RESERVATIONS
Reservations can be made for Day Trips using Visa or MasterCard by phone, sending your card number with the expiration date, or by check. Overnight Tours are payable by check. Please call before sending money to check on trip availability.

PAYMENT
DAY TRIPS: Payment is due in full to reserve your spot. Reservations must be made for all day trips. Sign-up early because there is limited space.

OVERNIGHT TRAVEL

Please check the individual itineraries for the deposit required to reserve a spot.

REFUNDS
DAY TRIPS: No refunds, transfers, or credits can be granted. If the trip is canceled by Connecticut Audubon Society (CAS), credit will be given toward the rescheduled trip, another upcoming day trip, or an overnight travel program.

OVERNIGHT TRAVEL: Unless specified differently in the trip itinerary, refunds are granted 60 days prior to departure for trips 3 nights or less in length, minus $100, and 90 days prior to departure for longer travel, minus $200. After those dates, no refund can be granted. If the tour is canceled by CAS, a full refund will be granted.

SINGLE TRAVELER
Single travelers are encouraged to sign up early to give them the best chance at being matched. If matching is not possible, the single supplement will apply (check the tour itinerary for price).

SMALL GROUPS
CAS reserves the right, if registration is insufficient, to cancel any trip or to offer the trip with a small group supplement.

INSURANCE
If you would like travel insurance, give us a call and we can put you in touch with those providers who make a contribution supporting our environmental education programs.

EXTENDED TRAVEL
If you would like to stay on in an area after the scheduled tour or go early and meet up with us, we can help with those arrangements. Please advise us at the time of registration so proper flight scheduling, hotel arrangements, etc., can be made.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISK
We ask you to acknowledge that there is an element of risk in any adventure, travel, sport, or activity associated with the outdoors. We trust that you know of the inherent risks, dangers, and rigors associated with travel in the outdoors, travel in foreign countries, the risk of travel by air, car, boat, bus, or other vehicles, the risk of disease or illness, and all that is encountered in the natural world and areas of civilization.

ITINERARY AND PRICING
CAS reserves the right to make changes in the published itinerary whenever, in its judgment conditions warrant. Costs are subject to change due to changes in airfares, currency fluctuations, or other cost increases. CAS reserves the right to withdraw without penalty any tour that it has scheduled and announced. CAS is not responsible for expenses incurred by trip registrants as a result of the tour cancellation (for example: non-refundable air tickets).

SISTER ORGANIZATIONS
If you are member of an organization such as The Nature Conservancy, National Audubon, COA, Connecticut River Museum, among others, you are then eligible to travel with CAS EcoTravel on overnight tours at CAS Members’ prices. Give us a call!

NONMEMBERS
Nonmembers may add $40 (single) or $55 (family) to the tour price for a one year membership with Connecticut Audubon Society.

OTHER TRAVEL OPPORTUNITIES
If dates for our tours do not work for you, or there is a tour that you are looking for but do not see listed, we are able to provide you with many natural history destinations through Churchill Nature Tours, Collette Tours, Quark Expeditions, and many others. They will make a donation to Connecticut Audubon Society when you sign up for one of their tours through us.

CUSTOM AND PRIVATE TOURS
We also offer you custom tour design assistance, including private tours for you, your family, or a private group. Give us a call if you would like more information on these special services.
