All cancellations must be made by email and will be effective from the date we receive the email notification. We strongly recommend that clients consider appropriate travel insurance with cancellation cover as there are no refunds or credits if you cancel a tour (including cancellations due to travel bans).

Cancellation by The Hebridean Explorer
The Hebridean Explorer undertakes to fulfil all tours as booked but reserves the right to cancel, change or curtail a tour due to unforeseen circumstances, illness, injuries or events out with our control. In this case a full refund of all payments made to us by the client in respect of the tour will be an end to any obligation on our part. Our liability for costs or inconvenience if we fail to complete a tour is limited to the total value of the tour purchased. The Hebridean Explorer is not responsible for any other costs clients may incur such as flight, accommodation and travel expenses.

Insurance and Liability
The Hebridean Explorer holds Public Liability Insurance along with Private Hire Insurance.
We strongly recommend that all clients arrange suitable travel, medical and cancellation insurance.

Ferry Sailings
Ferry sailings are generally very reliable in the summer months, but delays can occasionally occur. While we cannot be responsible for any extra accommodation, food or other costs that clients may incur due to ferry delays and cancellations, we will make every effort to adapt the tour to minimise disruption. Please note that no refunds will be given for tour and itinerary changes due to ferry changes and cancellations.
