GSTC Refund/Cancellation Policy

Effective 11/10/2009

The following statements outline the Georgia Sea Turtle Center’s group tour policy regarding cancellation, late arrival, changes in attendance, and refunds:

1.  The group is responsible for payment in full of the quoted fee on the day of the visit. The fee is based on the total number of reserved spaces and must be confirmed one week prior to trip.  Please note that the quoted fee is based on reserved spaces, not actual attendance. No refunds will be given for absent participants. However, the GSTC reserves the right to receive payment for the difference if additional participants arrive the day of the visit.

2.  Attendance changes to a group reservation must be made at least seven days prior to the visit to be considered for billing adjustments. Changes can me made by calling (912) 635-4076 and in writing at gstcreservations@jekyllisland.com.

3. Cancellation must be made in advance by telephone and written (email) notification. Fees and refunds will be based upon the timing of notification by the reserving group.

Ø No cancellation fees will be assessed to programs providing at least seven days advance notice.

Ø For groups providing notice of cancellation between 48 hours and seven days in advance of their confirmed arrival time, a cancellation fee of $50 will be charged.

Ø Programs failing to contact the GSTC or canceling with less than 48 hours notice will be charged full program fees.

4. If the group will be arriving later than the scheduled time, a representative from the group will call the GSTC (912-635-4444). Groups arriving 15 minutes late may, at the discretion of the GSTC staff, forfeit their time in the Exhibit Gallery or other areas.
