Yogyakarta Extension

Prices are quoted in US Dollars and all payments must be made in US Dollars. For late sign-ups, payments submitted less than 15 days prior to departure must be made by credit card, cashier's check, or bank wire.

To offer the lowest possible cost, our trips are tier priced according to the number of full-paying participants on the trip. Wilderness Travel staff, trip physicians, or guests of Wilderness Travel (travel writers, photographers, leaders-in-training) are not included in the tier pricing count.

All costs are per person, based on double occupancy. If you wish to have a single room, you must pay the single supplement fee.

Please note that for certain trips (usually in the Southern Hemisphere), prices are seasonal, rather than following the calendar year. In such cases, the prices will be clearly listed for the specific season, such as: Fall/Winter. Prices for the following season are normally available approximately six months before the first departure of the season.

Payment Schedule*

At time of reservation: $600
75 days prior to departure: Balance

*Payment schedules for certain trips vary, including but not limited to Boat-based Trips, Private Journeys, Extensions, and Special Events. These exceptions are clearly indicated in the Detailed Itineraries for each of these trips.

Prices are listed in US dollars and all payments must be made in US dollars by credit card, check, or wire transfer.

Pricing

To offer the lowest possible price, all of our tours are priced according to the number of full-price participants on the trip. Wilderness Travel staff, trip physicians, or guests of Wilderness Travel (e.g., travel writers, photographers, leaders-in-training) are not included in the tier pricing count.

Your statements will show the highest tier price (smallest group size at which we can operate) until the final payment is due. If the price decreases due to an increase in group size before the trip departs, you will receive a tier refund for the difference.

Prices are per person based on double occupancy and do not include airfare. A full list of what is included and not included in the base trip cost is noted in the trip’s Detailed Itinerary. Prices are subject to change as we are occasionally faced with exceptional cost increases or currency fluctuations that we cannot absorb. We do everything we can to keep our prices the same as published.

Please note that for trips in the southern hemisphere such as Patagonia and New Zealand, prices are seasonal. In such cases, the prices quoted in our catalog are for Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 only, and are so noted on the catalog trip page and in the Detailed Itinerary. Prices for Fall 2022 would not normally be available until early 2023.

Single Supplements

Accommodations are based on double occupancy. Participants who request single accommodations (subject to availability) must pay a single supplement fee, which is noted in the Detailed Itinerary.

Cancellation and Transfer Policy

If it becomes necessary for you to cancel or transfer to a different trip, the following fees will apply, calculated from the date we receive a written cancellation notice, which can be sent by email, fax, or standard mail.

Cancellation Fee Schedule*

Up to 91 days prior to departure: No charge!
61-90 days prior to departure: 25% of trip cost
46-60 days prior to departure: 50% of trip cost
45 days or less: 100% of trip cost

*Cancellation and transfer schedules may differ for certain group trips, as well as Cruises, Private Journeys, Extensions, and Special Events. These exceptions are clearly indicated in the Detailed Itineraries for each of these trips.

Cancellation and Transfer Fees apply to the entire Trip Cost, including the base trip cost and any additional costs, single supplement fees, internal airfare, park fees, permits, etc.

Rates are based on group participation and no partial refunds will be given for unused trip arrangements for any reason whatsoever. If you are confirmed on a trip that requires a Medical Form signed by a doctor, normal cancellation penalties apply if your doctor does not sign the form.

Cancelled Trips

Wilderness Travel reserves the right to cancel any trip prior to departure for any reason whatsoever, including insufficient sign-ups or logistical problems that may impede trip operations. In such a case, a full refund of all land payments is given, which will release Wilderness Travel from any further liability.

If a trip is cancelled due to force majeure (war, labor strikes, earthquakes, flooding, etc.), Wilderness Travel will refund the portion of the trip cost not already advanced to suppliers (hotels, transportation companies, etc.) and use good faith efforts to recover and refund the balance as promptly as possible. However, Wilderness Travel does not guarantee recovery of any or all of the advance payments made, and our use of good faith efforts to recover these payments will not include the institution of any legal proceedings in foreign jurisdictions. Wilderness Travel is not responsible for expenses incurred by trip members in preparing for a cancelled trip (e.g., non-refundable purchase of air tickets, visa fees, inoculations, equipment, etc.) or for any additional arrangements should the trip member depart prior to the scheduled group departure date.

Trip Member’s Requirements

Trip members have the responsibility to select a trip appropriate for their abilities and interests. In order to assist you, we grade each trip with a Trip Level and include a detailed “What the Trip is Like” section in each trip’s Detailed Itinerary.
