Space permitting, you can usually move your date up to five days before the event (45 days for the Gourmet Kayak Expedition). If no other date works, you can send someone in your place.

Cancellation insurance is offered when you book. With it you can cancel up to 72 hours before your event (60 days for the Gourmet Kayak Expedition). Without it, sales are final, and you are welcome to send someone else.
