TOUR SUMMARY

The Lion King in Vancouver

The animals are back! The Lion King is quite simply one of the biggest phenomena that Broadway has ever seen. Giraffes strut, birds swoop, gazelles leap! The entire savanna comes to life and, as the music soars, Pride Rock slowly rises out of the stage. Marvel at the breathtaking spectacle of animals miraculously brought to life by a cast of over 40 actors. Wonder at the inspiration of award-winning director/designer Julie Taymor, as one of the most successful films in history is stunningly recreated live on stage. Thrill to the pulsating rhythms of the African Pridelands and an unforgettable score featuring songs by Elton John and Tim Rice such as The Circle of Life, I Just Can’t Wait to Be King, and Hakuna Matata. This tour stays 2 nights at the popular Inn at the Quay in New Westminster.

TOUR NOTES & POLICIES

  • Payments: A deposit of $200 per person is requested at the time of booking and balance is due July 8, 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.

  • Cancellation Policy: Up to June 9, 2025, the cancellation charge is $100 per person. From June 10 to July 8, the cancellation charge is $200 per person (your deposit). From July 9 to July 25, the cancellation charge is 60% of the tour fare. After July 25, 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 British Columbia. While your BC Services Card may cover you for a medical issue that arises during the tour, you will probably benefit from trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage in case of illness or a mishap before or during the tour. Many other benefits such as luggage insurance are included. 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 cancellation, interruption, and luggage.

  • 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.

  • Photo Credits: Matthew Murphy (The Lion King pages 1 & 3) and Inn at the Quay.

  • Experience Points or E-points: This tour earns 24 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 points on tours longer than 3 days. You can accumulate enough points to earn a free tour (this tour eligible until July 8, 2025).
