ACTIVITY LEVEL

Level

Level

Moderate Activity: As a traveller you like a variety of activities and walking up to 2 km with breaks such as a guided walking tour is very doable for you without assistance. You can stand for prolonged periods, negotiate a variety of terrain from gravel paths to moderate hills comfortably and can climb two flights of stairs without assistance. There is a walk of about 200 metres and some stairs to your seating at the Passion Play. There is no luggage handling service at the Drumheller hotel. Passengers who are flying will be required to handle their own luggage and walk longer distances in airports. You may bring a cane if needed. The coaches cannot carry a scooter or motorized wheelchair. The tour director and driver have many responsibilities, so please do not expect them, or your fellow travellers, to provide ongoing assistance. If you are not capable of keeping up with the group or require frequent assistance, the tour director may stop you from participating in some activities or some days of the tour. In extreme situations, you may be required to leave the tour and travel home at your own expense; travel insurance will probably not cover you.

TOUR NOTES & POLICIES

  • Importance of early booking: There are 5 shows included, each with different deadlines for our commitment to the number of seats purchased. The Badlands Passion Play only has 9 performances in summer 2025 and sells out very early. Some theatres will recall seats from our original reservation if our bookings have been slow, so waiting too long to book usually means “Sorry, wait till next year.” Then we have to turn away disappointed customers, even though seats are available on the motorcoach. Therefore, please don’t delay booking this tour.

  • Show cancellation: It rarely happens, but actors occasionally get sick, or some mishap causes the cancellation of a show. This can occur even shortly before the performance begins. We know that this would be extremely disappointing for our customers, but the only refund we would be able to obtain for you would be the actual ticket price of the show. The hotel, motorcoach, and other tour services are all prepaid and are non-refundable at short notice.

  • V L Flight delays or cancellations: Victoria and Lower Mainland passengers are flying to Kelowna on July 14 to meet the tour next day, and flying home on July 20. Flights can be delayed or cancelled at the last minute, sometimes causing a missed connection. Wells Gray staff will try to assist with rebooking, but the airline usually wants to talk with the individual passenger. There may be an extra payment required if the issue is weather. Wells Gray Tours is not allowed to interfere with this process. Check that your travel insurance policy has a flight delay benefit because that is usually your best recourse for recouping additional flight costs.

  • Food Allergies: You must notify us no later than at final payment if you have a food allergy. An allergy causes medical distress, a preference does not. For some allergies, please consider bringing your own snacks or food items so you are not dependent on what restaurants are able to serve.

  • Payments: A deposit of $200 per person is requested at the time of booking and balance is due May 14, 2025. By paying the deposit, you agree to the Terms & Conditions, Activity Level and Cancellation Policy outlined. Payments can be made by online banking or cheque (1.5% discount on tour fare), or by Visa or Mastercard.

  • Early Booking Bonus: Receive $120 discount on first 12 seats and $60 on next 8 seats for booking early with deposit. The discount is not offered after May 14, 2025

  • Cancellation Policy: Up to April 14, 2025, the cancellation charge is $100 per person. From April 15 to May 14, the cancellation charge is $200 per person (your deposit). From May 15 to June 13, the cancellation charge is 60% of the tour fare. After June 13, there is no refund.

  • Itinerary and Fare Changes: Our many suppliers may notify us about changes to the itinerary prior to departure and sometimes during the tour. We do our best to substitute a similar service if something cancels, but occasionally the only alternative is to provide a refund for the missed activity. Please note that if we are forced to cancel a tour component due to an issue beyond our control, the current penalties still apply if you choose to cancel the entire tour. Fuel surcharges and changes to taxes or other tour costs can occur at any time, therefore Wells Gray Tours reserves the right to increase fares due to such changes up to departure.

  • Travel Insurance: A Comprehensive Insurance policy is available through Wells Gray Tours and coverage is provided by Travel Guard. Policies purchased at deposit include a waiver of the pre-existing condition clause for medical and cancellation claims, otherwise policies can be purchased no later than at final payment. This tour stays in Canada, but medical costs can vary wildly from one province to another. Remember that travel insurance typically provides cancellation coverage if you get sick the day before at home or you are in an accident or your flight is cancelled due to weather. Medical questionnaire is not needed. Please contact us for details. If you have your own travel insurance, please read the policy carefully to be sure that you are adequately covered for medical, cancellation, interruption, and luggage.

  • Experience Points or E-points: This tour earns 53 e-points. Each time you travel on a Wells Gray tour, you earn e-points that are added to your account after the tour returns. One e-point equals $1. Redeem your earned points on select tours or accumulate enough points to earn a free tour! Redemptions offered until May 14, 2025.
