*Updated March 7th 2026
We understand that sometimes plans change but we really count on your commitment. We do our best to be fair while keeping our programs running smoothly. Because our paddling season is short and each trip requires careful planning and coordination, our cancellation policy applies in all situations — even in the case of unexpected events like illness, family emergencies, or travel delays. Please take a moment to review our cancellation policies listed below.
General Terms & Conditions
Such A Nice Day (S.A.N.D.) Adventures Inc. reserves the right to cancel any program or service.
If a service is cancelled due to weather conditions, highway closures, natural disaster, etc. we will try to reschedule. If this is not possible, the customer will receive a full refund.
If a program must be cancelled due to low enrolment, all registered participants will receive a full refund.
Once a program is underway, our guides may adjust the itinerary for safety reasons such as weather, sea state, or individual/group dynamics. In these cases, no refunds are issued, as your experience continues in a way that keeps everyone safe and comfortable.
Should a participant be evacuated — either by choice or at the guide’s discretion for medical or safety reasons — the participant is responsible for any evacuation costs.
For longer programs, we highly recommend obtaining both medical and cancellation travel insurance. Please note that many policies must be purchased shortly after you book to ensure full coverage.
