Terms & Conditions
Workation LLC, hereinafter referred to as Workation in the terms and conditions stated below.
A. RESERVATIONS
I. Booking Tour Packages
In order to secure your reservation, you must provide Workation with an acceptance of the proposal together with a non-refundable deposit, the amount of which depends on the specifications of your booking, provided that the reservation is made more than 30-days before the trip’s departure date. Payment for the balance of your trip is required to be made by 30-days before departure. For reservations less than 30-days prior to departure, full non-refundable payment is required. The above non-refundable deposit is a payment towards a full trip package of services to organize your trip. This deposit does not constitute a payment for a specific service (e.g. airfare, accommodation, excursion).
II. Accommodation
1. After submitting your choice of accommodation, Workation will reply with confirmation of availability. If your choice of accommodation is not available Workation will recommend a suitable alternative.
2. In terms of an accommodation alternative, this will generally mean a recommendation within the same price category. If an alternative from the same category is not available, Workation will provide accommodation offers from the next available price category, which may result in either an increase or decrease in the overall trip price.
3. Workation cannot guarantee your choice of accommodation, as all accommodations are subject to availability. Changes to accommodation options may occur and we will inform you of these changes before requesting your deposit. If a change is necessitated after payment of your deposit, Workation will inform you as soon as possible and work tirelessly to find an equal or better replacement and/or refund you any difference.
B. CANCELLATIONS
I. Coronavirus Specific Information
Exceptionally due to the COVID-19 outbreak globally our Terms and Conditions regarding cancellations and postponement have been temporarily amended. Please see our Coronavirus Travel Advice page for more information and our Force Majeure clause within these Terms and Conditions.
II. Terms and Conditions Regarding Cancellations (not applicable to any Force Majeure instances and/or COVID-19 pandemic):
1. Cancellations will only be accepted in writing, charges resulting therefrom will be based on the date this written cancellation is received. We recommend arranging travel insurance for your trip that covers cancellation for any reason. By accepting our Terms and Conditions you agree that Workation under no circumstances can be held liable for your insurance policy’s rejection to refund your reservation. The choice of insurance policy is your sole responsibility.
The charges for cancellations are as follows:
Trips:
- Trips more than 30 days prior to departure – loss of deposit;
- Trips at or less than 30 days prior to departure – 100% of total trip cost
2. Workation can automatically cancel your reservation without your prior agreement in the event if there is any outstanding balance due to Workation less than 30 days prior to your departure. This can happen when after having paid a full trip cost, you requested extra services and did not pay for them. You can prevent this automatic cancellation by sending Workation a confirmation of the outstanding balance being paid.
3. If you are to leave the trip after it has started, you agree that no refund will be available to you for any unused services of the trip. This includes, but is not limited to, costs for accommodations, transportations, and excursions.
4. Workation has the right to cancel any trip, at any time, prior to departure due to Force Majeure situations laid down below.
5. Workation is committed to professionalism and respect towards each Customer at all times in providing high-end services. Workation’s Team makes the best efforts to accommodate individuals’ needs of our customers and to create a positive atmosphere throughout the entire trip. We kindly encourage all Customers to be respectful towards the Workation Team and everyone on the tour. Workation reserves unilateral right to cancel the reservation, without refund of the deposit, shall a Customer demonstrate disrespectful or unruly behaviour towards Workation or their Team. This is done to secure high-quality service for other Customers on the tour.
C. PRICES
Workation quotes prices for the tour per person or for a group. This depends on the number of Customers or arrangements of the group. The final price along with the services on the tour is available for the customer to review on the trip proposal before proceeding to payment.
D. PLAN-TO-GO DEPOSIT
1. Workation will present you with 2 (two) versions of a preliminary itinerary for our standard destinations at no charge. Workation reserves the right to charge a Plan-To-Go deposit of $500 at the beginning of planning an itinerary that includes non-standard destinations. By agreeing to our Terms and Conditions you confirm your understanding that planning a custom trip requires considerable research and our trip planners’ working time. This Plan-To-Go deposit is non-refundable but will be applied to the cost of the trip package once a proposal is confirmed. If you decide against the trip, the Plan-To-Go deposit is available to you to apply for a future Workation trip package within a year from the receipt of this payment.
2. Your trip package price is guaranteed only when your full deposit has been paid. A Plan-To-Go deposit is defined as a partial payment of the deposit.
E. REQUESTING CHANGES TO RESERVATIONS
Changes to reservations are not always possible. In the event a change to a reservation is possible, the third-party suppliers (such as accommodation providers, airlines, local operators, and others) may charge an extra fee for the alternation or the overall cost may change. The extra fees and cost differences are to be covered by you. This does not apply to adding excursions or other services to your package, only for changes to existing confirmed bookings we have made on your behalf.
F. PASSPORTS, VISAS, DOCUMENTS, & DETAILS

If the alternative excursion has a higher price, then you will be responsible to pay the difference in price, should you accept this alternative.
