Cancellation Policies for Shuttles & Guided Hikes

Shuttle Cancellation Policy

We know life can be unpredictable and things happen. Here are your options, should you need to cancel your shuttle to the Lost Coast Trail:

  • A $50 of total amount paid will serve as a non-refundable deposit. In the case the trip is cancelled for any reason you will be refunded the remaining total. For solo hikers there will be no refund as the deposit applies to all.
  • if you cancel less than a week but prior to 48 hours of your trip, you’ll be charged a $25 cancellation fee per seat.
  • We don’t issue refunds for trips canceled less than 48 hours. This includes cancellations due to tides and weather prior to your shuttle.
  • No refunds are given for failure to book your BLM permit.

You can check the 10-day weather forecast at the NOAA Weather Service page
