OHi charges a $50 cancellation service fee on ALL cancellations and this fee

Cancellations must be in writing.
No partial refunds on package tours for unused services or features. Any

If events beyond our control force us to alter your vacation arrangements, we
do not accept liability.
Any refund as a result of any alteration or cancellation caused by events
beyond our control will be limited by the amount paid to us.
We cannot accept any responsibility for any affect on clients resulting from

fees relating to the issuance and/or cancellation of air tickets or of other
travel arrangements made in regard to the canceled tour.
Processing a refund can take 6-8 weeks.
Travel insurance is highly recommended.
Travel Insurance. This is an insurance policy that covers you if you need to
cancel your vacation plans for medical reasons after you have paid money on
the trip. If you decline trip cancellation insurance for a tour and cancel your
plans for any reason after the specified period of leeway, chances are that
you will not get a refund. Therefore, we, and our tour operators, highly
recommend cancellation insurance.
We have information on travel insurance and many tour operators offer their
own protection policies. Some policies offer lost luggage reimbursement,
medical coverage, etc. Make sure you know what qualifies as an acceptable reason for
cancellation (personal or business conflicts usually do not) and read all the
Details before signing. Processing your claim can take 6 weeks or more. If
you have a pre-existing medical condition you can be covered for travel
insurance but you must usually purchase and pay for the insurance with your trip
deposit.
Airfare. We have low add-on fares from major gateway cities in the U.S. on
most of our trips. Call for airfare pricing from your hometown. Land only prices
are quoted on most trips, so you may use your frequent flyer miles. If using
frequent flyer miles for overseas trips, remember to book months in advance
for availability.
When using your frequent flyer miles or not flying with the group; transfers
are not included in the tour package and you must make your own way to the
first night's accommodation.
Airfare prices are based on availability at time of booking and are subject
to change until fully paid for and ticketed. We will attempt to get all
requested seat assignments but we are limited to airline availability and
requirements.
Air tickets once issued are non-refundable but sometimes changeable with a
fee.
Any cancellations after the purchase of air tickets are subject to the
airline cancellation penalties, which may be different than land cancellation fees.
Airfare taxes are subject to change without notice.
Prices. All prices are per person based on double occupancy unless otherwise
noted. To save you money, every attempt will be made to match up individuals
with a roommate for double occupancy rates.
Single supplement prices are available.
We reserve the right to change pricing in the event of any cost increases for
operational requirements.
The tour participant is responsible for proper travel documentation and
payment for a passport, any needed visas or immunizations for travel, and for
providing the correct passport name to the travel reservationist. In case of human
or computer error, we reserve the right to re-invoice for the correct price of
service.
Hotels. Hotels are subject to change, but if a change becomes necessary,
hotels substituted will be equivalent to those listed. Most hotels used are
moderate to first class or 3-4 star properties and are twin-bedded with private bath.
Single room accommodations outside of the U.S. are usually a single bed in a
much smaller room than U.S. standards.
Please note that hotel rooms, especially in Europe, are often older, smaller,
and less equipped than the American equivalent and are much higher priced
during peak travel seasons.
Sometimes standards and service are not what we are accustomed to, but is all
part of the adventure of travel and exploring the world.
Baggage. Two suitcases are allowed on international tours. Airlines have
their own restrictions and are imposing limits, especially on carry-on luggage. A
smaller bag for carrying on the coaches should be small. Wheeled carry-on
cases are not suitable as hand luggage on coaches.
No responsibility is accepted for loss of or damage to baggage or any of the
passengers belongings. Baggage insurance is highly recommended and can be
purchased with travel insurance.
Not Included In the Tour Price. Federal Inspection Fees for the U.S. Customs
and Immigration; International Air Transportation Tax; Agriculture Tax;
Security Fee; airport taxes; passports; visas; tips to your tour director, tour
driver, and local city guides; gratuities; laundry, beverages, food not on regular
table menu (these extra items will be billed to you before leaving the hotel
or restaurant), and optional excursions; all other items of a personal nature.
Roommates. We cannot guarantee the compatibility of roommates and we will
attempt to match individuals as to age and smoking/non-smoking status, but this
cannot be guaranteed.
Smoking is not allowed on buses or in shared rooms unless agreed upon by all
occupants of the room.
Any expenses after the tour departs for single room accommodations is at the
traveler's expense.
Passports and Visas. A valid passport is required for all participants on
international tours; and they must be valid up to 6 months after your trip dates.
For tours requiring visas for U.S. citizens, detailed visa information will
be given to you.
Non U.S. citizens must consult with the appropriate consulates to determine
if any visas are needed.
Securing any needed visas is the responsibility of the tour participant.
Medical. The traveler is responsible to check with his private medical
doctor, local county health agency, or travel medicine clinic for any necessary or
precautionary medicines and immunizations required for travel to certain
countries.
Group Travel Responsibilities. We reserve the right to cancel, reschedule, or
change any trip or tour itinerary that does not meet the minimum requirements
to operate and/or is deemed necessary for operational requirements and we are
not responsible for any other expenses incurred by the client in relation to
the trip being canceled, including non-refundable air tickets.
Most trips have guaranteed departures. Group trips will have a social escort
and/or a professional tour director. Social escorts are responsible on trips
as hosts only and to assist in making sure the group runs smoothly and
cohesively. They do not represent or replace professional tour guides used on some
trips.
We cannot assume responsibility for any actions of travelers on our trips and
we do not screen our travelers. Some trips are bus tours with professional
guides and may be incorporated with other larger group tours.
Most of our tours may be incorporated with another tour operating. This
ensures a guaranteed departure. Most trips will depart no matter how many people
are on that trip. We cannot be held responsible for the number of people
participating on any group trip. Special diet and dietary restrictions cannot be
guaranteed.
Travelers Who Need Special Assistance. Any disability requiring special
attention must be reported to us at the time the reservation is made. We will make
reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of disabled tour members,
but we are not responsible in the event we are unable to do so, and we are
not responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or
other independent suppliers. Most touring motor coaches are not equipped with
wheelchair ramps. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to a
tour member for walking, dining, getting on and off motor coaches, and other
transportation vehicles or other personal needs. A qualified companion must
accompany travelers, who need such assistance.
Responsibilities. The carrier, hotels, affiliates and other suppliers
providing tour services are independent contractors and are not agents, employees or
servants of joint ventures with OHi. All certificates and other travel
documents for tour services issued by the OHi are subject to the terms and conditions
specified by the supplier and to the laws of the countries in which the
services are supplied.
If the services included in the tour cannot be supplied or there are changes
in an itinerary for reasons beyond the control of the OHi, then the OHi will
arrange for the provision of comparable services. Any resulting additional
expense will be payable by tour participants. The OHi reserves the right to accept
or reject any person as a tour participant, to expel any tour participant
from the tour, to make changes in the itinerary whenever the OHi deems it
necessary to the comfort, convenience or safety of the tour participants, and to
cancel a tour at any time. If the OHi cancels a tour, then the OHi has no
responsibility beyond the refund of unused moneys paid to the OHi by the tour
participant, however, airline tickets are non-refundable. The tour participant agrees
that neither the OHi nor its affiliates shall be liable for any damage, loss
(including personal injury, death and property loss) or expense occasioned by
any act or omission of any supplier providing tour services or of any other
person. The OHi is not responsible for any typographical or printing errors,
which may occur in their brochures.
