What is the cancellation policy? Is the advance refundable?

Tribal troupes lined up in the Kisama arena, Hornbill Festival

Quick answer: A sliding window: far-out cancellations recover most, inside the festival fortnight less, because December beds and drivers are pre-paid. Plain-English version on the cancellation page.

Part of the booking & cancellation doubts people send us before booking the Hornbill Festival. Everything below is how the trip actually works when you travel with us.

What if the festival is cancelled or postponed? Force majeure means reroute, credit or refund per policy. The state has never cancelled a full edition.

What if our flight or train is cancelled? Free batch/date move within the season where seats allow. The practical fix 90% of the time.
