Refund
Policy
All
payments are non-refundable unless otherwise
indicated. In order to obtain the best fares
possible, Pura Vida purchases nonrefundable
airline tickets that are often difficult or
impossible to change if you suddenly find
yourself unable to attend your trip. If you
have concerns about this possiblility you
may want to consider buying trip insurance
which could help reimburse you for purchased
airline tickets. Also, Pura Vida may be able
to refund your non-airline costs if you find
someone to take your place on the team.
