  • A written e-mail notification needs to be sent to Immerse in order to receive any sort of refund.  Cancellation policies may change due to the policies of certain yachts, hotels, restaurants or airlines.  Other administrative fees or spent costs may be applied to penalty fees.  No partial refunds will be given for unused meals, hotel rooms, airport transfers or excursions etc for any reason.  We strongly suggest all travelers look for travel insurance.
  • In the event that boats are not available to depart due to unexpected conditions, passengers will be booked in another with similar facilities, thus no requests for refunds will be attended.
  • We highly recommend all passengers to acquire travel insurance prior to traveling to Ecuador.
