Cancellations
Cloudy or rainy weather is not a cancellation clause and therefore a refund.
If you wish to stop your descent during your stay, we will do our best to pick you up the same day, but no refund for the remaining day(s) can be requested.
Safaraid Dordogne reserves the right to cancel any departure for safety reasons (river level too high, weather alert, possibility of storm, etc.). This cancellation will result in an immediate refund of your deposit or a modification of the dates of your stay.
Attention !
As the watertightness of the containers is not guaranteed , we strongly advise you not to take on board objects that are sensitive to water such as your cameras, telephones, etc.
No recourse will be possible in the event of a problem.
