- The tour provider cannot accommodate storing luggage for guests. If you are transferring or checking out of your hotel the same morning as your tour, you may consider checking to see if your hotel offers luggage storage for the day.
Restrooms: Specific stops are pre-planned to and from the park, so you’ll never go without a restroom option for more than an hour to hour and a half. That said, if you need one in between that, just ask. Your guide will be able to adjust if needed.

Returns, exchanges and cancellation
