Weather, Safety & Itinerary Changes

This is a photography tour based on natural conditions. We reserve the right to adjust:

due to weather, safety risks, closures, crowding, road conditions, or operator availability.

If a location becomes unavailable, we will substitute an alternative that offers strong photographic opportunities. No refunds are provided for itinerary changes made for safety or operational reasons.
