Travel Insurance

The cancellation policies for the excursions offered through Alaska Tour Adventures are generous by industry standards.
However, due to the strict nature of airline travel, the cancellation policy for the Utqiagvik / Barrow Adventures is more strict. For this reason, we have found many of our guests are more comfortable in making a Utqiagvik / Barrow Adventure reservation if they purchase some type of travel insurance/protection.

Alaska Tour Adventures encourages you to get coverage for your Alaskan itinerary as our cancellation policy does not make exceptions for "it wasn't my fault...my plane was late, cancelled, flat tire, fell, etc" Get covered to be able to sit back and enjoy your holiday! understand how Alaska Tour Adventures use and protect the data you provide to us when you visit and use our services.

We reserve the right to change this policy at any given time. If you want to make sure that you are up to date with the latest changes, we advise you to frequently visit this page
