Refund and Returns Policy

Cancellation and Refund Policy

The Explorers Refund Policy was created by Travel Experts. Depending on the policy, the refund policy for each trip varies. Refunds will only be issued to your Travel wallet and not to the original payment method. Furthermore, you can use the refund for any future travel plan that you make with Explorers.

Our Explorers’ refund policy is being developed by 15 management graduates in order to protect our itineraries from being impacted by last-minute cancellations by fellow travelers and competitors’ tricks to bring us down. We’ve noticed a lot of last-minute cancellations with no valid reasons, which affects individuals, especially during group bookings. As a result, we have made our refund policy very strict, and we do not encourage delinquency on our trips.

The experience of the travelers is our main motto, so we do not encourage cancellation unless it is an emergency, and as mentioned above, any refund amount will be credited to your wallet and further it can be used for future trips or treks.
