Thank you for your interest in Slonina Photography Tours. We’re committed to delivering outstanding service and unforgettable experiences to every guest.

For all Alaska Photo Tours, a different cancellation policy applies. These extraordinary expeditions involve substantial upfront costs and logistical coordination. To provide the world-class experience our guests deserve, we’ve partnered with top-tier lodges and premier boat operators—ensuring every detail is carefully curated from start to finish

Cancellations are subject to a fee, which varies depending on how close they occur to the scheduled departure date.

Cancellation Timeline: Based on when you cancel

180+ Days Before Trip Start

Full refund minus a $500 processing fee per person

180-121 Days Before Trip Start

If your plans change and you need to cancel between 180 and 121 days prior to the trip's start date, your deposit will be retained. However, any additional payments you've made will be refunded.

Under 120 Days Before Trip Start: No refund available

Please contact us immediately if you need to cancel.

About Our Processing Fees

Banks charge transaction fees on all credit card payments — including those we refund.
Reopening a spot involves additional outreach: web edits, social media promotion, and paid advertising.
Our tours are intimate and tailored — replacing a cancelled spot at the last minute is rarely possible.

Planning these immersive experiences involves significant upfront investment — from securing exclusive lodge and boat accommodations to running extensive advertising and managing logistics months in advance. While we do maintain a waitlist, last-minute cancellations are challenging to fill and often result in unrecoverable costs

Please get trip insurance to protect yourself.
